Mimi made my wedding day special, she made me and my family look amazing and kept us laughing and smiling all morning the day of my wedding. Her team was so sweet and professional and we will be using them for any and all future special occasions. Not only did she get exactly the makeup look we requested, it lasted all day AND night! I cannot recommend Mimi and her team enough, Thank you Mimi!!

Mimi was my makeup artist for my wedding day, and she worked alongside Dani, who did our hair. From the moment they arrived, they brought such positive, calming energy that made getting ready comfortable, so much fun, and completely stress-free.
Mimi did an incredible job with my bridal makeup. It was exactly what I envisioned: elegant, long-lasting, and made me feel so beautiful and confident throughout the entire day. Together, Mimi and Dani truly worked their magic and made both me and my bridal party feel our absolute best.
I highly recommend Glam by Mimi to any bride looking for an amazingly talented artist who also brings such wonderful energy to your wedding day!

Mimi was my #1 best hire for my wedding by far!! She did my makeup, along with my 4 bridesmaids and my daughter, and she knocked every single one out of the park!! All of our makeu...
p stayed put all day and night long, with minimal touchups needed. When we did need touchups, we had little kits that she provided us all with to keep up our gorgeous faces. Mimi is so knowledgeable in the beauty world, and she won’t gatekeep her secrets from you!! I 150% recommend that if you want a flawless bridal look, a makeup artist who knows her sh*t, and to get to know an amazing, wonderful human being, CHOOSE MIMI!!🥰🙌🏻💜

es that it is exactly what you want. She made me feel absolutely beautiful on the day of my trial and that was only magnified on the day of my wedding. She is warm, welcoming, and immediately puts you at ease. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to spend the morning of my wedding with! She definitely aided with the pre-wedding jitters with her great sense of humor. I also have quite a few allergies and she made sure to check every product before using it. She also keeps her work area, tools, products clean. Making sure to clean everything before and after the appointment.

e truly goes above and beyond. A sweet soul who is the best of the best, and I’d book her a million times. As a bride who really didn’t know how I wanted to look starting out, she made me look flawless! I didn’t even know I could look like that! We had so much fun on my wedding day, and she’s truly a gem of a human. My ladies looked flawless, our makeup stayed all day and night!

Mimi did my makeup for my wedding back in April of 2023, and this review is long overdue! She not only has the sweetest personality, but she also fully understood my vision. She as...
ked all of the right questions, took her time on the trial so that on the big day we knew exactly what we were doing, and everything was more perfect than I could have imagined! I got compliments all day on my makeup, it magically didn’t smudge or fade (even with all of my happy tears!), and she filled that part of our morning with positivity and peace. I would 110% recommend Mimi to anyone looking for a makeup artist.. you will never want to go to another one after you work with her!

There are not enough words to describe Mimi. Her patience, support, love and skill is completely out of this world. After many failed trials with other MUA’s I gave up hope that I ...
would look beautiful on my wedding day. Then I met Mimi. During my trial she listened to all of concerns, my wants and she accomplished everything I dreamed about. On 10/7/23 I got married and she did mine and my mothers makeup. The complements where endless and I have truly never felt more beautiful in my life. Thanks to Mimi I will have photos that I feel stunning in for the rest of my life. If you need someone the way I needed her- book her. She’s literally so kind and so talented.

Such a sweetheart! Mimi is honestly one of the kindest, most vibrant people I have had the pleasure in meeting during my wedding planning process.
She was not the initial makeup ...
artist that I hired for my wedding last month. She was a referral that my original stylist had suggested to me when she found out she could no longer service our wedding. Truly a blessing in disguise.
Once I met Mimi, I felt as if God placed the obstacle in our planning process on purpose so we could work together. She is so flexible and understanding of circumstances. She came to my home one night after working for my bridal consult. Incredibly patient and loved the company of my fur babies whom wanted nothing more than to place themselves in her way and smell anything and everything she picked up.
Come our wedding day she made my girls and self look absolutely incredible, and again was so patient with my babies as they placed themselves in her way yet again. My husband has never been a fan of me wearing makeup (I prefer to go natural and only get made up on special occasions). However, on our wedding day he was speechless at the amazing job Mimi did, and how subtle, yet bright she made my appearance.

ess even if she wasn’t involved. For example I told her when my bridal shower and bachelorette party was and she would send a text wishing me a great day. In that same thought she was a wonderful communicator and very prompt to respond or initiate conversation. Not to mention how beautiful my makeup looked! Extremely talented at what she does and with years of experience to back that up. Easy to talk to and very generous and kind. You found your person trust me.
