Hello! My name is Holly and I am the woman behind Maine Cosmetic Company!
I am originally from Minnesota and moved to Maine 10 years ago. I live in a suburb or Portland with my fiance and two incredible golden retrievers, Bowie and Ziggie. When I am not at the spa I am hiking with my dogs and Fiance, Nick, attending spin class, reading skiing or camping. My family thoroughly enjoys the outdoors and is not afraid to get our hands dirty.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Holly as my wedding makeup artist! She made me look absolutely stunning, with makeup that felt natural yet elevated—like my skin, but better. Holly took the time to really listen to what I wanted and made sure we perfected the look at the trial, so my wedding day went off without a hitch. She also worked her magic on my grandmother, mom, mother-in-law, and six of my bridesmaids, timing everything perfectly so we were done early and relaxed before the ceremony. Everyone still talks about how amazing they looked! Holly’s warm, personable energy kept us all excited and confident. If you’re looking for someone who combines incredible talent with a wonderful personality, Holly is the one!

I could not recommend Holly any more!! She did my last extensions and make up for my wedding, as well as make up for my bridesmaids, mom and mother in law. Everyone absolutely loved her, she kept things fun and made everyone so comfortable. My mom and mother in law rarely wear make up so they were really nervous about it, but Holly set them at ease and they were so happy with the way it turned out. Everyone looked gorgeous, and we had the best morning. 10/10

Holly and her team were amazing for my wedding. She was so helpful and answered any questions I had about the whole process and timing for the big day. She listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. She and her team made my wedding party look incredible and we had so much fun during the process. Friendly, professional, and fun - I would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for hair and makeup!

Holly was absolutely amazing. From the moment I started talking with her I knew I could trust her. We did a trial where we tried a few things and on my actual wedding day I couldn't have been happier. She did my makeup, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms. She finished ahead of schedule and had time to touch up people just before the pictures! She did what each girl wanted and was able to help the girls who don't wear makeup much. I wanted a elegant natural look and she went above and beyond! I was so happy. I never wear a ton of makeup so I didn't want to look crazy but I wanted to look great for my wedding and Holly did just that. I would recommend Holly to any bride to be!!

Holly at Maine Cosmetic Co made my wedding day smashingly easy. Initial communication and all follow up confirmations were professional and timely. On the day of (which we know brides sets the tone for the day), she was early and ready for me and my girls. Took our opinions and feedback thru the process and got us to the result I was hoping for. We were ready on time, looked amazing and got some candid shots before the next step. Sweet and calm throughout, Holly was amazing. My youngest was struggling with confidence that day due to some skin issues and Hollys skills and affirmations put her at ease. We all felt so pretty!

Holly was a total joy to work with and I loved the way my wedding hair and makeup looked. I had been having a hard time deciding what to do with my hair, so my actual wedding hairstyle was different than what I had done in the trial, but the MCC team didn’t miss a beat and my hair held up throughout the whole night of dancing! My trial went really smoothly and Holly was very open and considerate of my feedback - my wedding makeup was exactly the style I had been hoping for! Holly and Veronica did hair and makeup for 11 women total and they were so kind with high-energy all morning. If you want to feel like your hair and makeup is being done by two friends I definitely recommend Maine Cosmetic Company!

Holly and Mariah were absolutely incredible! They made 9 of us look so amazing for my wedding, and they were so fun to just get to know while we got ready! They were so patient and really listened to what each of us wanted. They were super easy to keep in contact with as well and were quick to answer any questions. Would highly recommend!

I had the most amazing experience hiring Holly and Maine Cosmetic Company to do makeup for my group of 15 friends on my wedding day in Portland, Maine. Just when I thought it was going to be impossible to find anyone to commit to getting 15 women done Maine Cosmetic Company came in to save the day. Holly was so easy to communicate with, flexible, professional, and best of all amazing at her craft! Holly and her crew (Kourtnee and Donna!) showed up right on time and got to work. Each stylist listened to what each woman wanted, made sure everyone still looked like themselves (super important to our group!) and was kind, funny, and just a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend Maine Cosmetic Company if you are seeking makeup services for bridal needs and beyond!

Holly was awesome! As someone who doesn't normally wear makeup she made me and the rest of the bridal party super comfortable. She had a trial run with the bride before the wedding which really settled her nerves. Holly's energy, smile, and positivity made Shannon's wedding morning that much more special. I highly recommend Holly for any makeup and waxing needs.

Hire this magical and incredible woman immediately!
Holly was literally the KINDEST human I've met during my entire wedding planning period. She made all of my ridiculous needs come to life and never made me feel like I was asking to little or too much. I want to be her friend in real life <3
