I can’t say enough good things about Seema. From the moment she arrived, her calm and sweet energy instantly put me at ease. It felt like having a friend there to support me, not just a makeup artist. She made my face look absolutely flawless and did a stunning job on my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law too. Everyone felt so beautiful and so well taken care of. I also enjoyed doing my makeup trial prior to the wedding with her. Seema really listens to what you want, enhances your natural features, and works with such gentle, professional care. She is the kind of vendor every bride hopes to have on her team: talented, kind, and grounding on a whirlwind day. I’d recommend her to any Virginia bride!

Seema did my makeup for a wedding along with other bridesmaids, the bride, and bride’s family members. We all had different skin tones, facial features, and preferred styles and she did an amazing job on every single one of us!!! I rarely get makeup done because I often find that makeup artists tend to be skilled in one style makeup and are not always able to tailor towards the clients features/preferences. Seema is truly a talented artist and I was blown away at her skill to enhance each person’s unique beauty. I would highly recommend her to anyone and she is an exceptional makeup artist!

Seema was such a fantastic makeup artist! My makeup looked stunning and glamorous while feeling lightweight and breathable. Even after getting rained on and then sweating in the hot sun my makeup did not move an inch. Seema is an amazing MUA and such a delight to work with.

Seema is the absolute best! I cannot say enough good things about her. She instantly made me feel at ease when we first met. She was thorough in understanding my skin type and gave me recommendations prior to the wedding. Her makeup is absolutely flawless!! She was especially kind to my mom who was very apprehensive to have her makeup done professionally for the wedding. Seema encouraged her to bring her own make up and it made her feel so comfortable. You would be foolish not to hire her for your wedding or any special occasion I highly recommend Seema!

Seema did a wonderful job on my Makeup for my wedding day! She did makeup for myself, three bridesmaids, and my mom. Seema was proactive about setting up a consultation/trial run prior to my wedding day. She listened to what I wanted, and delivered the perfect light and natural look that I requested. She used high quality makeup and she recommended some products for me to add to my skincare routine. She arrived on time on my wedding day and was very professional. She worked wonderfully with my hair person and photographer to make sure we were on schedule and captured photos. Most importantly everyone’s makeup looked fabulous and lasted the entire night! I highly recommend Seema if you are looking for a makeup artist!

Seema is absolutely incredible. From the start, she made me feel so special and taken care of. I don’t normally wear much makeup, and she completely understood that—she created a look that felt like me, just more elevated. What makes Seema stand out is not just her talent, but her kindness and attention to detail. She really listens, she cares, and you can feel that in her work. I felt confident, comfortable, and truly beautiful on such a special day. 10/10—couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you, Seema!

Seema was so great to work with! She was so kind and welcoming to my bridal party and she made us feel so beautiful.

I would highly recommend working with her!

Seema was just wonderful on my wedding day!! The makeup she did for me turned out beautifully. She had great input on what she thought would compliment me well, which I appreciated especially as I do not do my own makeup often. My makeup turned out wonderfully and it lasted all night! I truly felt so beautiful on my wedding day and I can’t thank Seema enough for that! My bridal party loved having their makeup done as well, and everyone looked so amazing! Seema was also very communicative, professional, and punctual. Seema is truly gifted in her craft, I cannot recommend her enough!!

Seema is absolutely wonderful!!! She did my wedding makeup for my special day in October! Throughout the whole process, Seema was extremely responsive and professional. She did myself, five bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law all by herself! Everyone loved their makeup and were so happy they chose to get their makeup done! She made me feel my best self while performing her makeup magic! I told her I wanted a glam look and she accomplished it soo well! She is definitely a master of her craft. My makeup stayed on with multiple crying spells throughout my wedding day! My makeup had no smudging at all! It looked 100% until the end of the night.I didn't want to take my makeup off; that's how beautiful it was! I absolutely love anything that is shimmery/glittery and before she left she gave me body shimmer which I wasn't expecting! It was soo fun! Seema took her time during my makeup trial to make sure I loved everything about my makeup and that I was comfortable! I used my trial makeup for my bridal portrait shoot so it didn't go to waste! On the day of, Seema made sure she was a little early to set up so we started on time! I could not recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist for their wedding!

Seema is AMAZING! She is so kind & easy to work with and truly passionate about her business. From the trial to my actual wedding day, Seema made sure she was able to capture the look I was going for. She guided me (because I am no makeup expert) and she gave me the exact look I was going for. I felt so beautiful & it really set the tone for the day. There will never be enough words to thank her for making me feel confident on the best day of my life. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Seema was absolutely amazing!! From the first time I talked to her she was so friendly and helpful. I first met her at her beautiful in home studio and she was so welcoming and made sure i felt comfortable the whole time. From the time of hire until wedding day Seema was checking in with me and answering any questions i had. On wedding day things flowed so smoothly and timely. Our makeup was absolutely beautiful. My bridesmaids and i were all obsessed with our looks. Seema takes her time and truly cares about her work and the satisfaction of her costumers. The products she used stayed on all night! At the end of the night my makeup still looked fresh and beautiful. I can’t say enough good things about Makeup by Seema! Book her!!

Seema took the time to listen to what I wanted at my make up trial, and surpassed my expectations. Seema immediately felt like a friend I could trust and provided multiple skincare products that I have continued to use and love to this day. She checked in with me multiple times before the wedding to confirm schedules, explain the process, and make sure I was feeling comfortable and confident. I truly appreciate the level of care she provided during that time. On the day of the wedding, she promptly made a connection with each friend and family member, listening to what they wanted and making everyone feel beautiful and confident. I am so grateful for her guidance and support leading up to and on our wedding day. She was a friendly, calming presence that put us at ease… highly recommend!

Seema did such an amazing job with mine and my wedding parties make up! Seema was so understanding of my wants for my makeup and we actually ended up completely changing what we chose during our trials(because I had a last minute change of heart) on the wedding day and it was PERFECT- it was actually what she had recommended at the very start. I had zero fading, even after a night of dancing and happy tears. She is amazing at what she does and I never had any doubts. She made each of my bridesmaids look flawless and was so great with dealing with my mother and mother in law with their make ups choices too. She even at the last minute helped my niece with her lashes. The day of the wedding Seema went above and beyond and I could not be more grateful for her expertise, understanding, patience, and skill. Choosing Seema was one of the best choices I could have made for my wedding day.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Seema! From the moment I spoke to her prior to officially booking, she made me feel completely at ease, taking the time to understand my preferences and recommending skincare tips to ensure my makeup looked its absolute best on the big day. Not only did she excel in perfecting the soft glam look, but she also went above and beyond to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere at her studio for my trial. She also stayed in constant communication leading up to the wedding! On the wedding day itself, she worked her magic not only on me but also on my mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids, making everyone feel special and beautiful. I cannot thank her enough for her exceptional talent, warm personality, and the care she put into making us all feel our best. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and amazing makeup artist for their special day! Be sure to book her early so you don’t miss out!! ♥️🥰

Seems was absolutely amazing! This was actually my first time ever getting my makeup done by someone else and I was kinda nervous having someone up in my face like that haha - but she made it such a good experience. Super friendly and easy to talk to! Even gave pointers for skin and makeup products based on her experience. The makeup was flawless - we all received compliments ALL night! I was even getting comments on how great the eye makeup was the next morning (my sis got married - I absolutely went to sleep with my makeup on lmao) I highly recommend Seema to anyone in the area!

5/19/2024

I have had the pleasure of working with Seema on more than one occasion. First, she did the makeup for bridal for one of my best friends wedding. I was a bridesmaid. Stunning makeup for all of us. Then my husband surprised me with my own private lessons with Seema. She is so gentle and patient with teaching proper makeup applications. She is very passionate about good skin care and makeup. Not only did she teach me things I can to everyday and on special date nights, she has taught me how to shop for the products I need for my skin. I love the facial cleanser and lotion! Seema is the best! I will use her again and again for my make up needs! Her prices are good and she is worth every penny. Don't wait for a fancy event, she is amazing with the everyday care and make up too. I may do a refresher training and makeover just because it's fun and I'm sure there is something I could have forgotten since that session. I would give her 7 stars if I could because she is more than 5 stars!

Seema is an absolute 10/10. She had done my sisters wedding weeks before my own so I knew I wanted to use her. She was prompt, professional, and flexible. She came early and set up her stuff (stood for hours doing makeup!) and was sooo much fun to hang around while getting ready. Her end product was truly the star of the show as she transformed me into the bride of my dreams! Her makeup is high quality, clean and gorgeous. I’d recommend Seema x1000.

Seema was PERFECT right from the beginning! I met Seema when she did my makeup as a bridesmaid at my best friend's wedding. I knew immediately she was who I wanted for my wedding. She made the process of scheduling and booking with her so easy. During my make-up trial she talked through every part of my make-up to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. She took the many (many lol) make-up pictures I sent her and somehow combined the best pieces of each of them into the most perfect look for me! She asked so many questions just about the wedding day that I hadn't even thought of yet. Her experience was so valuable and helpful during the stressful planning of everything. She called me a week or so before the wedding and we walked through the entire timeline to make sure everything was perfect!! On the day of the wedding, we had a minor setback when we arrived at the church and Seema was so amazingly calm. She had everything under control because she worked in plenty of buffer time to make sure we stayed on schedule. I can't explain what an asset it was to have Seema there on my wedding day! I have already recommended her to 3 brides. Her work, personality, and vision for my look was nothing short of EXCELLENT! She is one of the reasons my wedding day was perfect!

They say that you can’t expect a perfect wedding day, but mine was with the help of Seema. We originally met at her home, after my having to unfortunately reschedule repeatedly, which she handled with nothing but grace and kindness. She took her time to make sure she had down exactly what I wanted and adjusted as needed. My 9-year-old daughter - who thinks makeup is ridiculous - even enjoyed the experience of sitting there and giving opinions. Then came the wedding day, a day typically riddled with anxiety, but her skill and calmness brought a peaceful presence to the room. She was efficient and sweet, accommodating, and ensured even my daughter had what she wanted. Even my makeup aficionado best friend took selfies saying she has been in many weddings and never once had liked her makeup until Seema did hers. We were all ready before the time needed, everyone looked *stunning* in photos, and my makeup lasted through wind, hours of photos, and multiple instances of happy tears. I did not even want to take it off when I went to bed because it still looked better than any other. I recommend reaching out to her to see if she has your date available. You have enough things to worry about when planning a wedding, so just get makeup off the list and rest some of those worries by booking her!

Seema is honestly amazing. She did an incredible job on myself, my bridesmaids, my mother in law, and my grandmother. Seema was so friendly and real!!! She is one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. Seema was timely in her responses, great with reminders and all the information needed for the big day regarding make up. I felt comfortable and confident with seema and she truly made me look like a princess on my wedding day. My wedding was particularly difficult, as I lost my mom unexpectedly 3 months prior, but seema raised my spirits and made me feel loved and beautiful. If you don’t work with Seema for your wedding or special event, then you’re doing it wrong!! Thank you for everything Seema.

SEEMA IS THE BEST!!!!!! I first met her at my trial in her adorable in home studio! She was so welcoming and took the time to not only perfect my look to get it exactly like I was hoping, but also to just chat and get to know me on a personal level. She made the experience so enjoyable which made me all the more excited for the wedding day! In between the trial and the wedding day she answered my every text/question and even called me a few times to make sure we had all the details clearly worked out so the day of would go smoothly, especially since I had a larger bridal party. Fast forward to the wedding day, all my bridesmaids and the mother of the bride and mother of the groom were all OBSESSED with her work!! She killed everything from the bold/glam looks to the more soft/subtle looks. Seema is a true perfectionist with her work, but rolled through it like a true pro in order to keep us on schedule. I truly cannot recommend Seema enough! Extremely talented and professional while also so personable and friendly. Such a sweet person through and through. Side note: I cried happy tears the majority of my wedding day and you would never know!!

Seema is AMAZING! She is kind, professional, and truly an artist with a vision. I showed her inspiration photos at my trial and she created a look that incorporated my inspiration and suited my personal skin tone and complexion beautifully. She did the same for my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law on my wedding day. I opted for a more "glam" look and it was exactly what I was looking for. My bridesmaids went for a more "soft glam" look and they all looked so beautiful. My husband also told me he had never seen his mother look more beautiful than when Seema did her makeup. Book her now, you will not regret it! :)

Seema is so fun to work with! She is very personable and patient. She single-handedly did my makeup and 7 bridesmaids. She was very flexible with the invoice and understanding when one of my bridesmaids that I’d booked was no longer able to make it. The makeup was beautiful. Very classic and not overwhelming. One of my bridesmaids didn’t want a lot of coverage and was visibly nervous about the experience. Seema was very reassuring and the bridesmaid was blown away with how simple but beautiful the makeup was. Highly recommend this talented MUA! Thank you Seema 🥰

Seema is not only a phenomenal make up artist but an amazing person. She truly listens to your thoughts and orchestrates pure skill and talent. I was so lucky to have her do my makeup for engagement session and my wedding. She’s very sought after and I can see why. I literally didn’t even recognize myself. It was an absolute joy getting to know her and her background. The day I went to her home to get my engagement session makeup done, I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to stay there all day and talk to her. Please hire her without thought, you will be amazed by her artistry and her personality. She never rushed to get me, my bridesmaids and mothers makeup done. She showed up extra early to give her undivided attention. We all LOVED her and how she made us feel beautiful. LOVE YOU SEEMA!!!

I cannot say enough nice things about Seema. Seema is definitely the makeup artist and gal to have on your special day. She does such an amazing job at making all her customers feel confident and comfortable with their look. Her work is absolutely stunning and she is so attentive to detail.

Seema recently did my bridal makeup for my June 2023 wedding. She did such an amazing job on mine and my girls makeup! My makeup lasted all night long and still looked perfect after hours of dancing and a few tears being shed! Seema did my bridal makeup around 10 am on my wedding day and at 11:30 pm, it still looked flawless like she had just finished it! Seema is very professional and is extremely good and knowledgeable at what she does! I had to cancel my makeup trial last minute, and Seema was totally understanding of my situation. Instead of meeting in person she called me on the phone and went over skin care and my expectations for makeup. If you are in need of a makeup artist, I definitely recommend Seema!!

Seema was absolutely amazing! She made my wedding day a breeze. I worked with her months before the wedding and scheduled a wedding trail. She was accommodating and was great with communicating schedules and expectations for the wedding day. When the day came, she was so sweet and professional with everyone! She was able to get everyone done with a strict timeline and everyone’s makeup looked amazing! The makeup lasted the whole wedding day! It had even rained a bit before the ceremony and the makeup still looked amazing. I was so sad to remove it at the end of the night. I would highly recommend ❤️❤️

I can’t say enough positive things about Seema. She is a make up GENIUS and made me and all of my bridesmaids look gorgeous on my wedding day. Her makeup is timeless, natural, and enhances everyone’s natural beauty. She is great at adapting to different preferences and skin tones. You can’t go wrong by booking with her! She made the entire process so easy and made us all feel gorgeous. I got so many compliments on my makeup and it lasted the entire night! Seema is also just a wonderful person. I would book her again in a heartbeat.

Seema is fantastic!! She did my bridal makeup, the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, and 9 bridesmaids with a variety of skin textures and tones and did a fabulous job on EVERYONE. She was so kind and very organized, making her truly a joy to work with. She was incredibly professional and efficient while still being pleasant as can be! She is the best, I would 12/10 recommend her and would use her again in a heart beat.

I cannot say enough about Seema! I had my make up trail with her for my wedding. She asked me to send her inspiration pictures and I was very nervous as I want something very different then the traditional make up look for my wedding and thought maybe she would try to talk me out of it but instead she took on the challenge with excitement! She is very honest and tells you all the pros and con of each type of application in order to educate you so you are able to make the best choice for yourself. She even recommended products for me that I asked about for my skin type! I absolutely love how my trial turned out and am super excited to get to work with Seema again later this year on my wedding day!
