wedding makeup

I’ve have experience working with more than 100+ Brides. The pressure of wedding hair & makeup is immense, but seeing a Bride smile in her gown, feeling her happiest, makes it all worthwhile.

your GLAM experience

Envision a day that embodies classic sophistication.

I believe in minimalism with just the right amount of pop for facial definition, translation - “getting you to look smashing on camera with skin forward finishes, 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 only begins at $295.00 (Airbrush addl)

When a Bride chooses TMA she’s saying yes to makeup for the: MINIMALIST BRIDE!

TMA’s point of difference…


minimalist makeup for all skintones & complexions

For this bride, illustrated here opted for Airbrush ($325.) My makeup kit ensured flawless skin prep before the glam-glam even began. Catch her glow, she’s stunning!

Makeup should a project a romantic you, not a different you!

I always get asked this, have you ever worked with celebrities, and my answer is: yes! some notable mentions: Mindy Kaling, Iyanla Vanzant, Patti Austin, Tomiko Frazier, Lisa Price, and Sally Richardson, to name a few.


airbrush formulation

80% of my bridal clients opt for airbrush.  This technique utilizes a lightweight, liquid formula applied through an air gun, resulting in very even coverage.

This formula is so sheer that its’ almost undetectable. It’s for the MINIMALIST BRIDE. You won’t look or feel like you’re wearing much foundation.

Average wear time is up to 10 hours, we’re talking, longevity.

Airbrush Rate $325 | (Non Airbrush) $295

wedding makeup faqs

  • TMA wedding season is year-round so 2025 calendar is NOW open!

  • Yes, if kept simple however TMA offers dry-hairstyling only. Expertise with Half/Up Half Down, Beach wave or low Chignon styles. I do partner with other industry pros for the more involved hairstyles, so please ask for a referral list :)

  • No, you are encouraged to tidy your brows for either your event date or trial preview. Need a referral, here's a trusted one: Alresa (owner of the Brow Lounge here in the EastBay) http://www.eyebrowlounge.com

  • Nearly 80% of all clients of TMA prefer an airbrush finish over the classic foundation. It’s so sheer its almost undetectable. Brides are obsessed with it because they can’t feel it. Average wear time is up to 10 hours.

    Airbrush is sheer so if your skin shows (deep or large pores, acne, moles, scarring, etc) this formula is not ideal.

  • Small entourage party sizes (under 5) can be accommodated.

  • Makeup can enhance your groom’s features as well. Using spot concealing, color correction, anti-shine, and a very light powder application can do the trick. This male pampering is common for Actors, Celebrities and, yes, Grooms and Groomsmen!

  • Rates are tailored to your unique needs. To provide a personalized quote, I’ll need detailed information. Starting rates for (Non Airbrush) begin at $295…

  • If scheduled on the following holiday (or weekend leading up to) will incur a 10% fee for NEW YEARS, MLK, EASTER, MEMORIAL DAY, INDEPENDENCE DAY, LABOR DAY, THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS OR NYE holidays.

  • Absolutely. Destination Weddings are my favorite. My passport is current, so say less, let's go! Back in 2022, I traveled to EUROPE, that wedding was epic!!
