As a destination bride in Charleston I can now say if you’re thinking about booking Galya for your wedding day make up go ahead and do it. She was by far one of the best decisions I made when it came to planning and hiring vendors. As a girl ...

who only really wears the basics when it comes to make up I was really nervous booking a make up artist without being able to meet them until the week of the wedding. Not only did Galya beautify me to perfection her team of artists glammed up all my ladies making them feel flawless as well. Galya is so extremely good at what she does and her professionalism is outstanding but on top of it all she made me feel like a real friend throughout the wedding week. She was the first person to text me the morning of the wedding and wish me a happy wedding day along with so many other small gestures throughout the week. I am sad that I don’t have another excuse to have professional make up done in Charleston but if you do book her now!

Owner

My name is Galya and I am originally from Bulgaria. I came to the USA when I was 19 because I got accepted to college here. Being young and alone in a foreign country was one of the hardest experiences in my life but also the main thing that built me to be the girl I am today! Strong, independent and never giving up on myself are my main character traits and I believe every woman should be just that! With more than 100 weddings in my professional career, my passion for makeup have led me to my dream job. I love transforming my clients and making them feel beautiful, strong and confident!
