wedding makeup
More than 100+ brides have shared their special day with me, trusting me to bring their wedding look to life. What a profound honor, and seeing their radiant happiness fills my heart!
your GLAM experience
Envision a day that embodies “classic sophistication”.
My signature glam - “getting you to look smashing on camera with radiant skin, gorgeous brows & eyes, blushing cheeks and the perfect pout!”
Wedding mornings have a lot of moving parts and I would love to be by your side.
Makeup begins at $295.00 (Airbrush/Hair addl)
TMA’s point of view
minimalist makeup for all skintones & complexions
For this radiant bride you shown here, the coveted Airbrush formula ($325) was used to enhance her natural glow. I believe starting with a clean and organized space, and a pampering skincare routine before the glam ever begins. I created a soft, glowing complexion with seamless foundation, subtle contouring and a touch of highlight to accent her beauty. Neutral eye-shadows are used to never overpower; leaving you feeling radiant and confident like Nikki.
“Makeup should project a romantic you, not a different you!”
airbrush formulation
Airbrush makeup is a real favorite among the TMA Brides (around 80% choose it!)
WHAT IS IT: this technique applies a liquid foundation with an air gun, creating an even coverage.
VALUE ADD: This formula is so sheer that its’ almost undetectable. It’s for the MINIMALIST BRIDE. Feels incredibly light and breathable, designed to enhance your natural beauty without feeling heavy or cakey on your skin.
LONGEVITY: Average wear time is up to 10 hours,
RATES: Airbrush $325

The gold standard for makeup application is natural daylight (not overhead or ceiling amber lights). Ideally facing a window (not with the window behind you, which creates shadows). Whether you are booking artistry in a hotel, Airbnb or private residence - natural light should be available. This allows you to see colors exactly as they are, ensuring your makeup looks just as stunning in sunlight as it does in a vanity mirror situation.

Applied using an air-compressor and handheld gun that sprays a fine mist of foundation onto the skin.
80% of TMA Brides choose the A/B finish vs. traditional formula because of how weightless it feels. Offers build-able coverage, from sheer to medium.
Average wear time is up to 10 hours.
Known for being long-lasting, transfer resistant being silicone based.
TMA uses the brand: TEMPTU
Note: Airbrush won’t cover (deep or large acne scarring, moles, etc) but it can help to blur appearance of pores creating a smoother look in photos.
A/B will accentuate dry patches if the skin is not properly moisturized and hydrated due to the thin consistency.
derma-planningis suggested when you have facial peach fuzz because - peach fuzz traps dirt, oil, and makeup leading to a less smooth makeup application. Removing it with shaving creates a smooth canvas, allowing makeup to glide evenly and look more CLEAN.
Requires: specialized equipment and a skilled artist.

Absolutely. Destination Weddings are my favorite. In 2022, I traveled to EUROPE, that wedding was epic!! I cherish destination events. My passport is current - let's go!
A Little Bit About Destination Weddings:
TRAVEL: $2 per mile round trip fee applies for locations [base point: 94703] calculations are met within your personalized proposal/estimate.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Events exceeding (35 miles from 94703) req overnight lodging. When your event calls for distance, accommodations of 3.5/4 star or equivalent is required. This helps me maintain the energy and focus needed for your celebration.
I bring expertise directly to your chosen venue, ensuring a serene and seamless preparation experience.

(For Non Airbrush Brides:) Blot sheets work wonders to remove shine.
Lipstick might also need refreshing after drinking or eating, so having your favorite color nearby is recommended.
TMA will soon start to package touch-up kits, so inquire further.
