Hello!
I’m the owner of Makeup Madame Artistry and I started the business over 18 years ago. I’ve been a professional makeup artist for over 19 years. I love nothing more than to see the look on a brides face of complete relief and pride after I’ve done their makeup. It’s what has kept me going in the makeup world for all these years. When you love what you do for a living, it shows in your work. I don’t have “clients”, I make friends!

BOOK THEM!!!!! That is all I have to say. I booked them based off of their instagram page and saw how beautiful their work is and I have absolutely zero regrets. Samantha (makeup artist) had phenomenal communication from the day I booked her until the day of the wedding. I live 4 hours away from where she is based so I was not able to get a trial run in, so I was slightly nervous. However…..when wedding day came and she saw my inspo pics and asked me a few more specific questions, my makeup came out even better than I could’ve ever dreamed. I truly felt the most beautiful I’ve ever felt in my entire life and all because of her and her team. My bridesmaids and I got compliments all night on our makeup! So if you’re questioning whether or not to book them, JUST BOOK THEM!! And thank me (and them) later 🥰 Thank you, Samantha, for making my wedding makeup dreams come true!

We could not be more happy that we went with Samantha and her team. From the get-go communicating with Samantha was easy. Everyone was so happy with their results. Sam, Charea, and Kathleen were great about meeting the requests of the bridal party while also giving their input and suggestions when asked for. They were able to help give hair suggestions on what would add to our girly, whimsical, Bridgerton vibe we were going for. I have extremely thick hair and was nervous about my hair looking like my inspiration pics and staying all night. And Charea truly worked magic on my hair. It looked amazing and stayed in all night long. Sam also hit the nail on the head with the soft, natural glam look I wanted. I know how important it is if you're going to drop a good amount of money on these services to feel like it was worth it. And I can truly say these girls are worth every single penny. We are so grateful for their talents!

Samantha and Charea were so amazing on my wedding day! I felt so beautiful and had so much fun with them the morning of. We had constant laughter, music, and talking throughout the whole process. They took my mother and her difficult personality in stride. All of my bridal party and guests raved about the hair and makeup. I 100000000000% recommend Samantha and Charea’s services. You will literally have no regrets.

Sam and the Makeup Madame Artistry team were all amazing. The hair and make-up turned out better than I imagined. I’ve truly never felt so beautiful. They worked around my schedule to book the trial (since I’m out of state) and were so responsive and helpful with all of my questions. I would book them again and again for my wedding! And would recommend them to any one who asks! Seriously THE best!!!

AMAZING work by Samantha and Sarah. All of my bridesmaids and mother achieved the exact look they asked for. Sam and Sarah took extra care with my hair and makeup, making sure I looked perfect on my wedding day. I was blown away at how effortlessly Samantha elevated my natural face, instead of turning me into someone I didn’t recognize. I truly felt like the most beautiful version of myself, thanks to the two of them. Not to mention, they are SO FUN!!! It’s important to have a team that makes the getting ready process as comfortable and anxiety free as possible. I’m so lucky to have had them!

If you want to work with the best, work with Sam and her team. The hair and make up execution was flawless and they’re a ton of fun. They understood my vision and helped me bring it to life.
Sam and her team’s talent far exceeded what I even expected having seen their amazing portfolio of work on instagram. Each bridesmaid left feeling absolutely gorgeous - that NEVER happens!
Highly, highly recommend partnering with Makeup Madame Artistry!

Sam is amazing. She is super professional and just amazing at her job. My older sister had her makeup done by Sam in a wedding a couple of months before mine and booked her for me on the spot because it was the best makeup she had ever had. I then had her do my makeup for our two day wedding in Colorado. The second day she did my bridesmaid, mom, mother in law and grandparents make up. She did such an amazing job capturing lots of different makeup styles (and everyone loved Sam). She kept on schedule and just made everyone feel so confident about themselves. My make up was incredible, it was just so well done and stayed on all day. She is just incredible and the absolute best at what she does.

Samantha did an incredible job on my makeup, as well as the rest of my bridal party! My bridesmaids and the mothers were very impressed with their makeup and how it held up all night! We all got so many compliments and felt so confident! Samantha does such a great job at asking what we feel comfortable with and checking in throughout the process to make sure we like our look and if we want to make any changes. I seriously couldn’t have picked a better makeup artist for my big day and highly recommend her! She’s very professional and so easy to talk to, which made the process that much more of a breeze.

Samantha and her talented team of artists are who you want if you want to ensure this aspect of your special day will go smoothly. They are reliable, professional, and only use the highest quality products to produce their flawless results.
Their portfolio and feedback received from previous clients, clearly shows the time, effort, and additional money spent in order to provide services of this caliber.
You get what you pay for, and they aren’t cheap! However, when you factor in the fact that they are exceptionally talented artists with many years of experience, the peace of mind and quality of work they provide to you is utterly PRICELESS!!!

I’m so excited to have her do my make up and share her magic on my wonderful day. I would never go with anyone else. Her professionalism and her artistry speak for themselves! I’m so glad I chose such a wonderful person for my big day!

No matter what the event, she always understands the vision I describe and is able to execute the idea perfectly. She puts so much time and care into her craft and there’s a reason why she is one of the best and highly rated makeup artists in the area.

Dont even give it another thought! Sam and her girls were truly amazing. I had a destination wedding in Hilton Head and they were all amazing from start to finish. From setting up my trial to the day of the wedding, everything was incredibly smooth. They were reasonably priced, punctual, organized, professional, and wonderful communication (mainly through instagram messages). They were even able to handle my LARGE (13 including myself) group of girls from New England which is impressive in itself! Only recommendation is that she really does book up fast, so give her the headcount ASAP so she can get you the most artists possible (i dropped the ball on that one but she still made it work 100%). Sarah did my hair (with clip in extensions) and Sam did my makeup and everything came out EXACTLY how I wanted. I have a picky group of girls and they were all very happy with how everything came out. Just book them and check it off your list :)

Samantha is literally the best! She has done my makeup for other events so I knew I had to have her for my wedding makeup no matter what state it was going to be taking place. She did not disappoint, I looked magical but still like myself. She was so impressive that other people requested to get their makeup done the day of after seeing how great she was and she was so accommodating, she got everyone done with time to spare. Her team and her were very professional and are absolute rockstars. Would recommend her team over and over again.

Choosing the right hair/makeup team for your wedding day is arguably the most important decision you will make... so, dont wait another minute to book with Sam at Makeup Madame. Right from the start, Sam responded quickly, helped answer questions, and the booking process was simple and easy. Her and Kathleen travelled to our airbnb for the makeup/hair trial, and right then, I knew this was the best decision I could have made!
On wedding day, ALL of my bridesmaids and moms (14 to be exact) looked incredible, felt incredible, and Sam's team made sure everyone was happy. As a bride, Sam and Kathleen made me feel like a real life Margo Robbie and a princess combined. My makeup and hair did not move, despite the sweat, and weather elements. They truly made my hair/makeup dreams come true!!!
Pictures say a thousand words - so take a look at the love, beauty, and magic they created for my wedding day, and DONT WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE TO BOOK!!! Your future self will thank you!!

SO grateful I found Samantha! It’s hard choosing a vendor when we lived out of state. Once I saw her talent in her pictures, I was so happy to book her while she was still available. She made me and all my girls look beautiful and feel so confident. HIGHLY recommend her! She went above and beyond what we wanted makeup / hair wise just based on the pics I sent her. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future now that my husband and I moved to SC since the wedding for future family announcements 😊

Samantha was so fun to work with and! She did makeup for me and my mom on my wedding day and I felt super comfortable and confident in her. I don’t wear much makeup normally, so she went with a perfectly natural and neutral look that made me feel incredible! I also always appreciate when people in the service industry are easy to talk to, and we got along great!

Samantha and Charea were absolutely amazing! We hired her team for our December 2022 wedding and they did such a beautiful job. They were very flexible with times for my makeup and hair trials and the wedding day hair and makeup was perfection. My bridesmaids and our mothers all felt so beautiful and our looks stayed beautiful through a full day of 20 degree weather, lots of happy tears, gale force winds and tons of dancing. I would definitely recommend her team to anyone planning their wedding or a special event. I was originally hesitant to invest in makeup and hair and I will never regret doing it - everything was stunning and we were all pampered and able to relax the morning of the wedding!

I was planning a wedding out of state and was going based off reviews and pictures and knew that once I saw her photos, I wanted her to do my makeup. She was such a great hype girl and so accommodating. She made me and all my girls feel so beautiful and does the BEST makeup I’ve ever had done before. I wish I lived in the Hilton head area so I could use her more often when I need my makeup done. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her to any brides needing a MUA/ hair stylist.

Charea and Samantha did more for me than my makeup and hair, they supported me on my wedding day and made getting ready fun. I’m so glad they were a part of our wedding. I looked and felt beautiful and it was thanks to them. Above and beyond.

Samantha and her team were amazing to work with! I did a trial sessions for both hair and makeup and left with comments on what I wanted changed for the big day and they DID NOT disappoint! Through power outages and time constraints and weather issues, my hair and makeup were perfect the whole day and it was done professionally, with care, and attentiveness!! I got so many compliments on both my hair and makeup and I would definitely choose them again for my wedding.
Lastly, I had a group of 8 women who are all very picky and hard to please, and they all LOVED their hair and makeup! I was shocked, it is not common to have all the bridesmaids and mothers say they actually liked their hair and makeup (I was a bridesmaid and I didn’t like the people that did my hair and makeup so I have experience with this BUT it is not the bridesmaids day lol!). Overall great team and highly recommend!!

Samantha is amazing! Her makeup skills are fantastic, and she is so easy to talk to and get along with. The hairstylist, Charea, is so fun! They both really sat down and understood my vision and what my girls wanted, putting their own twists on each look. We had a steampunk style wedding, which required more "dramatic" makeup looks, and Samantha executed them flawlessly; everything stayed throughout the whole day and night (approximately 9am-3am). I would definitely hire them again for any occasion!

I have NEVER ever received more comments on my hair and makeup than with Sam and Cherea! I loved it from the beginning and I never felt overdone which I often do when I've had my hair and makeup done in the past. They did such an amazing job that after my trial I had 2 family members request to also get their hair and makeup done when they had originally declined. They are not only incredibly talented but were so enjoyable to be around! Both Sam and Cherea had a calming presence that is so needed before a wedding! We loved them so much and would recommend to anyone and everyone!

I had the pleasure of working with Makeup Madame Artistry for my clients' wedding day on 12/11/2021. They were very easy to work with from a planning standpoint prior to the wedding, and were quick to reply and make edits to the schedule as needed. My bride and her crew looked absolutely stunning when they arrived at the venue, and stayed that way through all the hugs and dancing, into the send off! Hair and makeup services were VERY important to this bride. We interviewed quite a few other teams, but none of them were exactly what the bride was looking for. Once we found MMA and made that initial contact with Samantha, my bride felt SO much better, and was so confident and at peace with her decision. She was very impressed by their past work, and their personalities, and that all transferred on the wedding day as well!
