Look no further, the best MUA is here!!! Every experience I’ve had with Stephanie were phenomenal. She is more than accommodating with her busy schedule and goes above/ beyond expectations. Her work is incredibly beautiful. I’ve booked her for all my special occasions i.e., birthday parties, baby showers, weddings, and I always leave feeling VERY confident!
On my wedding day, I did not have to provide any instruction and I was not disappointed. I felt and looked AMAZING!! She is an absolute pleasure to work with and is very talented. She has an amazing spirit and positive vibe/energy she brings with her.
Service was amazing. I love the way my makeup came out for my special event. I will definitely tell my friends,family and co-workers . Great customer service and very friendly.
I have had the pleasure of having my makeup done by Stephanie on multiple occasions. Each time she has exceeded my expectations. I requested a no makeup, makeup look for my maternity shoot and my face looked perfect! Stephanie also did my makeup for 2 different weddings and she did not disappoint. I tend to gravitate towards very simple makeup and Stephanie gave me the natural look I wanted, yet gently nudged :-) me out of my comfort zone just enough, to give me a glamorous look that I didn’t even know I needed. My makeup looked perfect in person and even better (if that’s even possible) in pictures!!! I will continue to use Stephanie for all of my special days. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
My wife used Stephanie for our wedding. She made her look like a Queen for our special day! And my wife can’t stop raving about the experience!
Stephanie has been my go to makeup artist for years now! Her skills and techniques are second to none and she is a master at giving you a tailored look. She can give you whatever level of glam you’re looking for, Stephanie is seriously amazing!
Thank you for helping me look the best version of myself!
Hands down think she is one of the best makeup artist I have seen. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Made my makeup and skin look flawless.

A friend of mine was getting married and needed a make up artist. I referred her to Stephanie because I heard about her work through another another friend of mine. My friend who was getting married praised me for into ducking her to Stephanie when it was all said and done. She was more than happy with the results and had an amazing wedding day.
Gifted hands! Hire her. If you’re like me, you look far and wide for a MUA who will enhance your features and listen to your vision for your special day look.
I would hire her for every single special event-wedding, baby shower, EVERYTHING!
She is RARE talent, sweet and just amazing.
Thank you for making me look beautiful on my special day. May God continue to bless you 💛
So professional and she’s hilarious! I love when people get my makeup right. I take pics and I don’t look ashy. She had my face looking like perfection and it matched my neck lol. I love her!
Stephanie did my makeup for my wedding ceremony as well as for my bridesmaids and did an amazing job! She’s so well versed in working with all skin tones and shades and made sure to pay extra attention to the facial features I love showing the most. I’ve worked with Stephanie for years prior to my wedding and I must say she is mg go to MUA! You won’t be disappointed!

I had the opportunity to have Steph do my makeup at a wedding where I was one of the bridesmaids, she was so professional and worked really quickly, when she was done I felt like a million bucks, my look was so regal and elegant.
She is truly a gem and great artists
Beauty by Badu has the BEST makeup talent on the east coast! Lead artist, Stephanie, is super talented and so professional. She’s also very knowledgeable of what’s best for good skin. She makes my makeup look flawless, every time, and I love her for that. I give Beauty by Badu my highest recommendation for any occasion: bridal, high end fashion, or girls night out.
Stephanie is simply the best! She’s so gentle and understanding whilst applying make up! I love how she really took time to understand my needs and concerns with my skin. If I could get married again I will definitely use her. Thank you again x
Stephanie recently did my make up for me and 5 women in my wedding party and Ive got to say I was very pleased and surprised by her professionalism and willingness to come do all of our make up at such a last minute. Stephanie came through and saved the day with her ideas and even went above and beyond to help do the hair of some of the girls there as well. I highly highly highly recommend you to use Stephanie for any occasion she will have you looking fierce with your hair and make up and she even has some amazing styling tips! Thank you so much Stephanie I Will for sure be using you again and telling everyone about your awesome services!
Beauty by Badu is in a class by herself! My make up was so natural and I had so many compliments the entire evening. I didn’t want to wash it off. She listens to the client and very respectful. I’ll definitely use her again for my upcoming birthday celebration.
When I get my makeup done, I want it to look natural and not 3 shades lighter or a completely different person😆. It’s rare to find a makeup artist who knows how to work with dark-skinned complexion. Stephanie is great! Highly recommended
Stephanie was an absolute genious as she showed off her talent and skill as a makeup artist. She was like a true Picasso as every brush stroke accentuated and brought out the natural beauty of everyone in the bridal party. She was punctual, professional and didn’t let the no show of the additional makeup artist move her. She was only supposed to do a portion of the bridal party but readily jumped into action and made each of us feel like her one and only client for the day. Her attention to detail was amazing. As the mother of the bride who rarely wears makeup and was very concerned about looking “made up” she took her cue from me. I left her makeup chair looking naturally elegant. If I could give her more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I certainly would. Stephanie you’re a total ROCKSTAR!!!
Badu’s work is spectacular. I love her personality, her professionalism and her work speaks volumes .
Beauty by Badu is the best makeup artist in town. I used her for my 50th birthday bash and everyone said I looked 40. Thanks Badu for making my big day memorable.
Amazing service!
This is the best make up I have ever gotten . I looked like A princess on my wedding day . Even after my wedding I have used Badu for all my red carpet events .
Her professionalism and work speaks and I have been referring her to all my friends and industry colleagues .
If you want someone who is immensely talented, understands different skin tones and what works for each perfectly, you have found her!!!!!
Her deep knowledge of all things makeup and obvious passion for her work is as mind blowing as her professionalism and grace, which extends patience and kindness under pressure. If I could I would give even more stars.
Stephanie was recommended to me by a friend who got her wedding make up done by her. It was simple yet elegant and I had to get her to do mine for my baby shower. I absolutely loved her work and will use her service again 😊.
Stephanie's service was immaculate, timely and highly responsive considering the challenges experienced by my friend's during their wedding ceremony.
At the last moments of the preparations, following some disappointing cancellations, I was asked to help find a suitable replacement for a makeup artist and one willing to travel last minute. Consequently, following my contact with Stephanie, she was very responsive and arrived in great time, and with the most professional attitude to meet the needs of the happily married couple and their bridal party of 10. I can't thank Stephanie enough for the great service offered, coming through at the last minute for us all and making the bridal party look and feel amazing.
