Why Brides Love Working With Me

"I am so glad I invested in Markeisha! She truly was amazing from inquiry til she packed her kit. I loved that she listened to me and helped calm me when I couldn't express what I wanted or needed. She's fun but also serious when needed. Book her, she won't disappoint."
— Brittany

"I got married on the beach in Laguna and my biggest fear was my makeup melting or looking heavy in the sun. I hate wearing makeup. Markeisha delivered! My skin looked like my skin, just smoother and glowier. Even with the humidity makeup still looked fresh. I truly felt like the best version of myself."
— Larissa

"My wedding was outdoors by the ocean, so I needed someone who really understood how makeup performs in natural light, wind, and humidity. Markeisha walked me through her technique and assured me not to worry. My skin looked flawless at golden hour."
— Lindsay F

"I wanted a timeless, natural glam that still felt like me, and she completely nailed it. Not only is she insanely talented, but her calming presence kept me grounded through all the wedding nerves. My makeup lasted all day and photographed so beautifully. Thank you again Markeisha!"
— Amanda

"Markeisha is a gem!!! 10000% recommend her services as a makeup artist, especially if it's your big day. I wasn't super convinced about having a makeup artist for my wedding day, as I don't like to wear much makeup, but when I stumbled across Markeisha's portfolio I was intrigued — she brands herself as a specialist in natural glam that enhances your natural beauty — which is exactly what I'd want."
— Samantha

Frequently Asked Questions

Most brides booked 6-8 months in advance to secure their dates. 3 months or less availability welcomed but not guaranteed.

Is There A Minimum?

Monday through Thursday: No minimums. Friday through Sunday: A total booking minimum of 3 people or $1000.

How Do I Secure My Date?

To secure your wedding date, a non refundable, non transferable 30% retainer is required along with a signed contract.

How Far In Advance Should I Book?

It's always best to secure your date early. Most brides reserve their date 12–18 months in advance to ensure availability, especially for peak seasons.

Are You Available For Travel?

Yes! If you're a destination bride ask about my destination packages.

I Already Love Your Work, Do I Need A Preview?

A preview isn't required, but I do recommend it. It gives us the chance to perfect your look in advance so you feel completely confident and at ease on your wedding day. I suggest booking your preview 3–4 months before your wedding, so everything feels fresh and aligned with your vision.

What's Your Cancelation Policy?

All retainers are non-refundable and non-transferable. Cancellations made less than 30 days prior to the event will result in the full balance being due. This policy applies to all circumstances, including but not limited to illness, death, or acts of God. No exceptions. Late Arrivals: Timeliness is essential to ensure your day runs seamlessly. A 30-minute late arrival will incur a $50 late fee which is due before services are rendered. If arrival exceeds 30 minutes, services may not be rendered, but payment in full will still be required.

Do You Stay For Touch Ups?

A complimentary touch up is included at the end of your makeup application to ensure everything is seamless and photo-ready. If you would like continued support throughout the day, I offer a concierge service. This premium option provides on-site availability for additional touch-ups, look changes, and a calm, effortless experience from ceremony to reception.

I'm Eloping/Having A Courthouse Wedding Do I Still Need A Package?

No, you can absolutely book makeup à la carte. Please just refer back to the FAQ about minimums to see if it applies to your date.

Do You Offer Bridal Trials?

I don't offer bridal trials. Previews are part of the experience for my booked brides and are scheduled after the wedding date is secured.
