Makeup by Mimi Tran

Stop whatever you are doing and book Mimi for your makeup! Working with Mimi is the dream! She created my perfect bridal makeup look. Not only is she the best makeup artist, but she is also the best hype girl and biggest cheerleader. She works with your features and style to create a look that is personal to you. I can’t imagine working with anyone else! She is top notch and I can’t recommend her enough!

Mimi is the absolute GOAT. She is unbelievably talented and made my makeup look flawless the whole day (in 99 degree weather). I cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to work with her again.

Mimi was a delight to work with. We had a consult beforehand and I had a couple tweaks I wanted to make for the big day and Mimi happily worked with me to make sure my makeup was on point. She helped me achieve the look I wanted for my big day. I have oily skin and wanted to make sure the makeup would stay all day and she worked her magic. My mom and MIL also got their makeup done by Mimi and they looked great!

I was lucky to be able to work with Mimi Tran. I specifically messaged her in hopes she’s free on my wedding day and she was. We quickly scheduled the trial, she listened to the feedback carefully , taking all the notes for the big day (slight change to my own original ideas) …and i never looked more beautiful and natural then on my wedding day. Thanks to Mimi! Besides amazing skill she’s she kindest, most professional and pleasant to be around lady ever. Thank you and hope To work with you again and again.

Mimi was absolutely amazing to work with! She was recommended to me through a friend who had hired Mimi for her engagement shoot, and ever since the first communication she was amazing. She was able to deliver on exactly what I was looking for. Her assistant that she brought for my bridesmaids was also great which made the experience even better! She's professional and does a great job, especially if you want that natural flawless bridal look. Would highly recommend to anyone in the DMV area!

Mimi and her assistant were wonderful to work with! I worked with Mimi years ago so I knew who to go to for my wedding. Sharon and I were extremely happy with their services! A week before the wedding my now wife got an injury to her face and Mimi made sure it wouldn’t show in the pictures. She is wonderful to work with, a very calming presence and very professional. We felt beautiful all day and it made our day so magical! Thank you so much!! Would recommend to anyone for any event!

Mimi worked with me over almost three years through postponed dates and did an excellent job! I felt so good and my friends and family looked beautiful too!

Mimi is incredibly talented!! She made our entire 10-person wedding party look absolutely stunning in just a few hours. Could not recommend her more highly.

After a long search on all platforms, I found Mimi through Instagram hashtags. When I met her for my trial, she was attentive, professional, very easy to talk to, and positive. Her work is beautiful and doesn’t compare. I knew I wanted her to do my make up. She listened to all of my requests and the make up lasted all day and night. She even fit in my MOH, which was not discussed originally. I’m honored Mimi was the one to do my wedding day make up. She’s a delightful person and I can’t wait to learn how to do my make up from her.

I was looking for a natural looking makeup for my portraits photoshoot and I’m so happy I found Mimi. She really respect your taste. I guess she is the best for any type of makeup you look for. I’m so glad I found her and I will go back to her anytime I need a makeup artist.

I had an unfortunate situation with a hair/makeup artist who left me—and my entire wedding party of 9 women—high and dry 8 weeks before my wedding day. I reached out to Mimi, as she had done the makeup for my bridesmaid's wedding several months prior. While Mimi was not available for the day, Bbee (her team member) was! I went for my trial at Bbee's apartment in Arlington on a Sunday morning. I had been planning an out-of-state wedding between NC and VA, and it was very tricky to schedule trials, because I work during the week and would have to drive to VA. Mimi and Bbee were very flexible in scheduling a weekend trial to accommodate this, which was hugely convenient for me. Bbee did incredible work on the trial and was very responsive to several small tweaks I made! The trial makeup stayed ALL day and I left feeling very confident I was in good hands for the wedding day. Even though Mimi did not do my makeup on the day, she was very involved throughout the process. I ordered some Chanel items through Mimi for touchups (loose powder, concealer, lipstick, and lip liner)—all excellent quality that I will be able to use long after my wedding day was over. Mimi scheduled a FaceTime tutorial to walk me through how to do the touch-ups. Shortly after my trial, I changed my mind and wanted a slightly darker lip color; Mimi promptly sent over some photos of color samples, so I could choose. Finally, I had some trouble with pore sinkage with the original primer combination (I have oily skin)—Mimi worked very closely with Bbee to formulate a better combination of primer and finishing spray/powder. On my wedding day, my makeup looked absolutely flawless. My wedding party, too! My mom looked the most beautiful she has every looked. Would recommend Mimi and Bbee to anyone!

Mimi was able to do the makeup for my wedding with relatively short notice. She was extremely attentive to what I wanted and did an absolutely beautiful job with my makeup, and with all of my bridesmaids' makeup! She is very professional, gentle, and uses high-quality products. I can't recommend her enough!

Mimi was amazing. She was communicative and very professional. She offers a makeup trial and she nailed the exact look I was going for. I didn’t think it could get better, but she did an even more amazing job the day of my wedding! She followed my timeline and had me and all of my girls ready before the ceremony. The airbrushing was extremely flattering and anyone on the fence about getting it should definitely get it. Like literally my makeup lasted until the following night when I finally took it off. That’s how great the makeup held! And I was in the rain for my wedding. I would recommend her 10 times over!!!

If you are reading this, please read slowly: Mimi is INCREDIBLY talented. I have had my makeup done for several events and never NEVER in my life have I felt as beautiful as when Mimi did my makeup. She cares deeply for all the brides/bridal party and takes her work seriously. She is kind and tender hearted. She has attention to detail and will work hard to make you happy. She is an artist. I highly recommend her!!!!

Mimi is undoubtedly the BEST makeup artist in DC! Words cannot express how talented and amazing she is. I’ve worked with her for over 2 years since my wedding got pushed due to Covid and Mimi was so understanding, flexible and accommodating. She responds very quickly to emails and texts. I trust her impeccably, she’s so amazing at what she does. I LOVED my makeup and it was exactly what I wanted. I got so many compliments! My makeup lasted all day and night even with all the happy tears shed throughout the day. She made my bridesmaids look so beautiful and they all couldn’t be happier with their makeup. She is also the sweetest person you’ll ever meet; she makes you feel comfortable and at ease. She made the getting ready part a really fun and memorable experience! If you are looking for top quality beauty with an easy going, fun person who will ensure you’re looking and feeling amazing I can’t recommend Mimi highly enough! I couldn’t have picked a better makeup artist. Thank you so much Mimi for making me and my bridal party feel naturally beautiful!

Mimi was fantastic! I wanted to keep my makeup looking pretty natural and classic, and she knew exactly what to do. She is super sweet and so easy to work with. My wedding was outdoors in 90+ heat all day, and the makeup never budged. So happy to have worked with her on my wedding day, highly recommend!

Mimi did an absolutely fantastic job with my makeup for my wedding, as well as my bridesmaids' makeup! We all had different looks, but all felt comfortable and looked great. All of us got many compliments from guests at the wedding stating how the makeup looked so natural and enhanced our look. I loved working with Mimi and would definitely try to book her again for any future makeup needs! My maid of honor is from out of town and said she wanted Mimi to move to where she lives so she could do her makeup all the time!

Mimi is a miracle worker!! I've worked with many, many makeup artists for all kinds of events and none come close to Mimi. She is so sweet and professional and seemed to know intuitively what I wanted for my wedding and what would look best on me. When we had to downsize and change the whole vision of our big wedding, she adjusted seamlessly so that my makeup fit the new look. Mimi was also super flexible and responsive to my many questions and worries as our plans changed. I've never felt more beautiful than I did that day, and the makeup lasted all day and night during our all-outdoors celebration in the end-of-summer DC heat and humidity. Everyone else who had their makeup done by her raved as well. Mimi is the absolute best, and it would be a big mistake not to choose her for your wedding (or any other event)!!

Mimi did my makeup for our engagement shoot and she did a wonderful job! She also made me feel completely comfortable and safe by following covid protocols. Highly recommend!

Mimi is truly the best! A perfectionist at her craft and an amazing woman. I sent Mimi so many pictures and was all over the place with my style before we talked about it and she was able to execute exactly what I wanted. She guided me and provided me helpful advice while I was figuring out what was important. I cannot recommend Mimi enough!!!

So many wonderful things to say about Mimi. For starters the day of my wedding she arrived early, I love that! I'm a time freak so having her arrive earlier than expected was a relief. She brought this beautiful little Chanel chair for me to sit it while she did my make up, which I loved! When she was done and I looked at myself it was even more beautiful than the trial. She truly blew me away and made me feel and look like a true BRIDE. One of my greatest fears was that my makeup wouldn't stay on. I find that no matter what I do makeup just doesn't stay on my face for more than 4+ hours. When I woke up the next day my makeup was still perfectly on! I have never had that happen before. Thank you Mimi!!!! I have never felt so gorgeous in my whole life, and I have Mimi to thank for that. I'm a very picky person and she is a 10/10 and I would hire her again and again and again. Thank you Mimi!

Perfect in every way!

Mimi is a talented makeup artist, and I would highly recommend her for bridal makeup. i felt beautiful and got many compliments on my makeup, which stayed fresh all day! What I appreciated about her work is how she was able to enhance my features so I looked like like the best version of myself. She was attentive to the brief i'd described for my look, but adapted it so it really suited me. A+ for her eyelash application, too. I personally do not like when eyelash strips are visible. She applied lashes that looked wispy and natural with just enough extra oomph for my look. On the logistical end, Mimi was very communicative and professional from the moment I reached out to her through the day of the appointment, which greatly put my mind at ease. She came to my home for a sunrise ceremony, and I appreciate that she was punctual. In short, you should definitely hire Mimi. Her work is impeccable and she will make you feel gorgeous on your special day. I hope to work with her again for another occasion.

First off, Mimi is super professional. From the trial date to the big date! She has been nothing but nice and super accommodating. Highly recommended. Mimi and her assistant did a total of 7 people for makeup on my wedding day and everyone was in love with it. I had people asking me afterwards who did my makeup because they were so in love with it.

If you are considering a make-up artist, you MUST book Mimi! She is truly an artist at what she does. I only wish I had found her out sooner. I booked Mimi to do my make-up (including 4 bridesmaids and my mom) for my wedding on November 2019. Booking and communications with Mimi was easy and she was always so prompt to respond. During my initial consultation with her, I immediately clicked with her. She takes in every detail of your wedding to help make sure you look your best on your day. I was taken aback at the questions she had asked because other makeup artists I had tried before her did not care to consider the color of my wedding/bridesmaids dresses/colors I liked and wanted to stay away from etc. Immediately I knew I was in good hands. From my personal (Asian) experience in having my make-up done, I always end up looking too overly done or not look like myself. These are things I did not want to look like in my wedding pictures. Pictures I paid a lot of money for and will last a lifetime. Ladies, if you have had those bad experiences with a makeup artist before, trust me. Mimi is by far THE best! She perfectly blended eyeshadows on my non-existent Asian mono-lids and lightly contoured/highlighted my face. I only wish I can show you my before/after pictures and how beautiful and radiant my makeup turned out for my wedding. I felt my most beautiful on my wedding day and reflecting back on that day it was made possible by Mimi ! Yes, my dress was beautiful and my hair was too but without Mimi’s artistic touch on my face, I would not have looked and felt my best :) For all you ladies who are going back and forth, I went with the air brush foundation service for my wedding day. I did a liquid and air brush foundation make-up consultation with Mimi. They both felt fine but on the day of I wanted to go with the fancy service and I do not regret it. My face stayed flawless from the time I had my makeup done (12pm) to when I came back from my after party (2AM) lol :)

My bridesmaids, family and I loved Mimi! She made me feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. She is so talented and the makeup looked great in person and in photos and lasted the entire night! I had nine bridesmaids, myself, and two mothers, and Mimi and her team made sure everything got done seamlessly and on time. I would definitely recommend Mimi, so much so we are booking her again for my sister's wedding next year!

I was thrilled to book Mimi for my July 2019 wedding. I've been a client of hers for a couple of years and knew that I'd feel confident and comfortable with her work. Mimi is sweet and enthusiastic, with a positive energy that puts you at ease; at the same time, her care, professionalism, and attention to detail are 100% assuring. I showed Mimi photos and gave her a description of the look I wanted to achieve at our bridal makeup trial; it was clear that she knew exactly what I wanted, and she delivered! My bridesmaids were also blown away with their awesome wedding makeup. With inevitable nervous energy swirling around on the big day, no bride wants to feel unsure about how her makeup is going to turn out. Take a look at her work on Instagram and feel secure in booking Mimi!

MIMI IS THE BEST! I've had my makeup done numerous times as a bridesmaid, maid of honor, etc, but Mimi's work is above and beyond the best makeup application I have ever had. I couldn't be happier with her work on my wedding. I looked stunning and my bridesmaids all looked beautiful. Most importantly, Mimi worked with me to give me the look that I wanted on my special day - she really listened to my requests and to what was important to me and gave me the perfect look that made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I looked and felt so glamorous and I got so many compliments from guests. Also, Mimi took special care with my mother-in-law, who struggles with hair loss. She taught her how to define her eyebrows and apply eyelashes in advance of the wedding so she could look and feel her best. Her care and compassion were a step above! Plus, Mimi was always very responsive over email and any questions I had were always answered right away. She is great to work with and you will never look better!

Mimi did the BEST job for my Wedding Day Makeup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who wants to get their make up done. Her products are awesome and I LOVED the lashes she put on me! She is so kind, sweet and calm and made me feel so ready for our big day. She is seriously the most talented makeup artist out there, she did a flawless job!

As a groom, you want to create for your bride a stress-free wedding process filled with beauty and love, and Mimi was one of the key factors to have made that happen. She not only dedicated time before the wedding to try out different looks my wife wanted, she was with her the entire time during wedding day to touch up her make up. Talk about dedication and professionalism. My wife came back from meeting with Mimi happy and beautiful each time, and that's all I could ask for. I strongly recommend Mimi as a makeup artist for your wedding day or any other celebrations!

Mimi has my highest recommendation as a Makeup Artist not only because of her professionalism and dedication to doing whatever it takes to create the look of your dreams, she was thoughtful throughout wedding day without us asking. At every turn, when you are feeling like you need a makeup touch-up between photos or when you think your makeup still looks good but it's missing structure through the camera, Mimi catches all of those moments. For someone who did not pay much attention to skincare, she made me feel absolutely stunning and radiant before and during the wedding. Mimi is that essential element to an effortless wedding day and everlastingly great photos. She continues to be my go-to makeup artist after the wedding.

Mimi was amazing to work with!! I'm so glad she was available for my wedding day. I'm very particular about my eyes and we did about 4 trials with different looks to get the look I wanted. She was very open to my requests and flexible with timing. Her work is amazing and she's super fun too!! I would definitely hire her again for any event!

I stumbled upon Mimi's website while browsing through the internet in search of a makeup artist to do my bridal makeup on my wedding day and I'm so happy that I did! Mimi was very responsive to the many e-mails I sent her, and she is very professional yet sweet and kind at the same time! She was able to replicate the makeup look I showed her on my phone in just one go! She did makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and all of them were completely over the moon with how their look turned out! The makeup remained flawless for the entire night, even after hugging a ton of people and having others literally touch my face - no smudges at all! My coordinator even asked me who did my makeup as she was amazed that I still looked as fresh as I did when I first showed up! I couldn't recommend Mimi enough and definitely hope to have another opportunity to work with her again in the future :)

Mimi and her assistant did an AMAZING job with the make-up at my wedding. She did mine as well as my two bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law. All of us looked gorgeous and our make-up still looked flawless at the end of a very rainy wedding. I would definitely recommend Mimi to anyone (and already have!).

Mimi was amazing to work with. Both my wife and I got makeup done (as well as some family members), and I had much lighter makeup than my wife. All of the looks were amazing, and it made us so happy.
