Maria did the makeup for my wedding and she was amazing. She did the faces of 8 of my bridesmaids, my mom and myself in 3.5 hours. Everyone walked away loving the natural glam that...
she has perfected. We had skin tones all across the board and everyone looked fantastic. Would highly recommend her for your wedding day glam!
I found Maria on Instagram through a local KC influencer and I am soooo glad I did. Her work is STUNNING. I wanted a softer, more natural look that would still give “bride” and pho...
tograph well and that is exactly what she delivered! The trial was a breeze, she took the very tiny adjustments we agreed upon and tweaked them just right for the big day. The makeup was stunning and that stuff LASTS - I’m a sweaty gal, there was rain, and it looked flawless through it all. She has the most calming energy too and I was genuinely so relaxed the whole time I was in her chair. She is also SO fast - she did 11 faces in ~4 hours. Many of my bridesmaids commented on how much they loved their makeup too! I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a makeup artist!
Maria did the makeup for me and my five bridesmaids on my wedding day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly efficient and so...
easy to communicate with. After my trial, I mentioned a few adjustments to ensure I felt more like myself on the big day, and she absolutely nailed it! My makeup looked flawless and lasted all day. She even provided details on the lip products she used so I could touch up if needed. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for makeup services—she’s truly amazing!
Maria works magic!! She did makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms and was so efficient and everyone loved it!! I had multiple people tell me to book makeup with Maria and no...
w can say the same thing to others. She was amazing to work with!!
I can’t recommend Maria enough. She was so fast and so amazing. She made my party look absolutely STUNNING ❤️ she made me feel like the most beautiful bride and my makeup stayed on...
through all of the heat and tears. She really cares about her work and the people she works with. HIGHLY recommend her ❤️
I can't say enough good things about Maria! As someone who rarely wears makeup, I was extremely cautious in selecting a makeup artist for my special day. Maria did not disappoint! ...
My makeup lasted all throughout the day & evening and looked natural while elevating my favorite features for photos. She was also extremely efficient - completing faces quickly and allowing me + my wedding party to relax and enjoy our day. Run don't walk to book Maria for your makeup - you will not regret it!
Although my review is belated, Maria was amazing! She did not only one, but TWO trials for me when I decided I wanted to change what I was going for, and gave me a great rec for h...
air as well. I had a large bridal party plus MOB & MOG, and EVERYONE was happy with how their makeup turned out, which is rare when you have one person doing makeup for that many individuals! Could not recommend Maria more to make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself!
I highly recommend Maria for wedding makeup! She was absolutely amazing. She is great at making you look glamorous but keeping it natural. I felt beautiful and still like myself. S...
he's the best!
I knew I wanted Maria to do my wedding makeup, and I’m so glad she was available for our big day! The whole bridal party was so impressed with Maria too. She is so talented and eff...
icient but also a very easy person to be around. I would book Maria again for any event!
Maria is a DREAM. She is SO beyond talented and on top of that is just the absolute sweetest person and is so wonderful to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable from the sta...
rt, listens intently to any requests you may have and makes you feel so beautiful! Everyone's make up lasted all day/night on wedding day - even through all the happy tears! Not only is she the best at make up, she was such a positive light while we were getting ready. Maria was the first wedding vendor I booked and I could not be happier that I did! Highly highly recommend!
Maria was a dream to work with! I am really picky about my makeup and like to wear a lot of makeup without actually looking like I am wearing a lot of makeup. Maria understood exac...
tly what I was meant and captured my vision perfectly. At my trial, I had a few things that I wanted differently and she changed those in my final look for wedding day and I looked even better than I could have imagined! At the trial, she takes pictures of you in natural light at different angles so you can see how you will photograph in the makeup, which is such a great idea! I felt so beautiful and natural and my wedding make up stayed in place all day and even looked better and better as the day/night went on! I wanted to look like myself of my wedding day and she achieved that perfectly! I cannot thank her enough and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!
FANTASTIC! First off, Maria is SO sweet. We did my trial for engagement pictures, so we altered it some for the wedding but she heard me out & made sure to see my vision! She was S...
O quick even working by herself! The makeup lasted ALL day with no touch ups needed (other than lips of course!) even through all the tears. All my bridesmaids loved her & she even did the little ones too! Everyone looked flawless!!
Hiring Maria will be the best wedding planning decision you can make! Maria was so helpful, understanding, and attentive throughout the entire process. Her talent is unmatched and ...
she will bring your wedding vision to life. On my wedding day, she was such a calming and supportive person to be around. She did my bridal makeup as well as my large bridal party. I can't even begin to explain how many compliments we received and how many future brides asked me for her contact information! At my wedding, I was dealing with a family situation and days after my wedding she checked in with me and offered to help me since my family was in Chicago. She is such an amazing person and so is her work!
Maria is the SWEETEST soul and an actual wizard at makeup. She is so fast it feels like she waves a magic wand and your face is suddenly done and flawless. She brings genuinely pea...
ceful energy which is so welcome on a crazy wedding morning. She did my makeup, my bridemaids' makeup, and the makeup for my mom and the groom's mom. Everyone looked so naturally beautiful and not overly in-your-face-GLAM which is exactly why I chose Maria. She doesn't cover you up with makeup. She simply compliments your natural beauty. Hiring Maria for your wedding is 100000% the right choice!
Maria made me (and my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law!) feel like the most beautiful person in the world on my wedding day! She is so talented and did a wonderful job with our ...
makeup. She's personable and made me feel like I'd known her my whole life from the second I met her! She's also very efficient which I appreciate. She did makeup for girls who wear makeup everyday as well as those who don't wear any and she nailed each person's look! Highly recommend her!
Maria did an absolute amazing job on the makeup! It lasted all night and still looked amazing!! She is also so quick which was great! Even my mom who is not a big makeup person lov...
ed her makeup and how long it lasted!
The only reason for 4 stars was the week before the wedding she let me know she had a scheduling conflict and was unable to do all 10 girls makeup unless we started very early. Maria was great and found another artist to help so Maria was able to do 5 girls and the other artist was able to do 5 girls. It all worked out great but just added some stress the week of the wedding.
Maria was AMAZING!!! She did my best friend's bridal party years ago, and I was obsessed with my makeup that day, so I knew I wanted her for my big day as well! I am not kidding wh...
en I say I do not think my makeup has ever looked better! She is the master of "natural glam". She made everyone feel so comfortable on the big day and cranked out my entire bridal party herself quickly. Everyone looked BEAUTIFUL, she was so calm and kind, and I could not imagine my day without her!
Maria was absolutely amazing!! So calm, efficient, and so talented! She did my make up (bride), my 4 bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law, and everyone looked flawless. I can’t reco...
mmend her enough and will be using her for all future life events :)
Maria was/is capital A - Amazing.
From day one, she fit me into her already booked wedding season, got me set up for a trial, and listened to what my vision was every step of the...
way (which is something, considering I’m indecisive and it didn’t phase her one bit). She recommended the perfect red lip and at the end of
the day, helped make look (and more importantly, feel) my most beautiful version.
To top it off, my man’s family was with me while I got ready and his grandmother asked last minute if Maria would be able to do her makeup. I wanted to leave it up to Maria, not knowing her schedule for the rest of the day, but she said yes without hesitation.
I can’t thank her enough for making my Mom, Grandma Marcille, and myself look and feel so special. Anyone would be lucky to book her for their big day - or any event ❤️.
I highly recommend Maria for your bridal makeup needs. She’s quick at communicating, flexible, talented and receptive to feedback. I did my trial for my engagement photos and I rea...
lly liked my makeup. I asked for a little more glam on my wedding day and I LOVED my makeup!! The business model of including a trial, sending you photos, discussing what you like or don’t like-is incredible. It allows you to see how your makeup photographs and gives you the opportunity to
Provide feedback or changes you would make. I definitely plan on using Maria for future makeup needs, She’s wonderful!
Maria is absolutely phenomenal!! She communicated so well and made sure all my needs were met! After my trial, she asked what could've been done differently as I wore my makeup thr...
oughout the evening (I had my trial done for our engagement pictures which I also recommend doing!). Fast forward to a year later on my wedding day she remembered what I told her and changed what needed to be done so it wore better on me! She works so fast and is just super fun to work with! 10/10 recommend!!
If you need your makeup done for any event do yourself a favor and book Maria! Maria made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. My makeup stayed all day & night (and even into th...
e next morning) and I couldn’t have been happier with her.
Maria is the best makeup artist in KC. She is so sweet and worth every penny. Thanks to Maria, she helped me feel stunning on my wedding day. Brides that are Newly engaged- RUN to ...
book her because she books up quickly. I promise you won’t regret it.
I booked Maria based off of reviews and omg does she live up to the hype!! She was able to glam my entire squad of 10 girls in just a few hours! She’s beyond efficient, beyond comp...
assionate and an incredibly skilled makeup artist. Maria did such a fabulous job on everyone’s makeup, different ages, different skin texture, different pigments, she nailed it. We not only photographed well with the makeup but it stayed on alllll night and after the dance floor. Maria was professional, sincere and is exceptionally passionate about it. I just loved and adored the entire experience and would book her over and over and over again!!! 10/10 experience
I truly believe Maria is the most talented MUA in Kansas City! She needs no guidance to make sure you and your girls look effortlessly stunning for the whole day. I wanted to make ...
sure my wedding day makeup did not make me look like an entirely different person, and that is exactly Maria’s expertise. She is also incredibly efficient and glammed 9 faces in 2 hours by herself on my wedding day. We started at 7 am and even at the after party at 1 am, all of our makeup was somehow still intact. For my trial, she told me exactly which lip combo she used so that I could purchase it and touch up my lips as needed throughout the day which was genius. In addition to being talented, she’s so sweet and has a calming energy that is much-needed for a bride on wedding day. I can to recommend Maria enough! If you need any more convincing, just go browse her Instagram.
Maria.
A truly delightful woman.
She was SO kind, efficient, talented, and an easy presence to be around. She both blended in, yet added to the day.
She does a beautiful job, ...
and made bridesmaids feel beautiful with her work.
I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup professional. She is very gifted and genuine. I wish her business all the success, she is wonderful.
Maria was one of my absolute favorite vendors we worked with for our wedding day! She did my engagement photos makeup, as well as 2 trials before the big day and my makeup looked p...
erfect and stayed on ALL day and night through lots of tears, Greek dancing, and an after party! She kept me calm on my wedding day and really listened to what I wanted for my look, as well as what my wedding party wanted. She is so kind and genuine and I absolutely adore her!! HIRE HER for your all your makeup needs!!!
Maria is an absolute gem of a human. My wedding day glam was perfection. During our trial, she made sure I was happy with every last piece of makeup on my face. She is a timely res...
ponder and a true professional. She is prompt and also very efficient. She completed 6 faces in 1.5 hours and they were all were meticulously applied and sheer perfection. Most importantly, my wedding day makeup did NOT need touching up once! I was rained on and was sweating on the dance floor all night and I still looked fresh faced at midnight that night! It lasted 16 hours and could have lasted longer! I cannot recommend Maria more. She is 100% worth your wedding day glam!
Maria is a true makeup queen! She's the type of person that you can easily trust to make you look your best with essentially no direction. I used Maria for both my engagement photo...
s and wedding and she made myself, plus all my girls look stunning. And FAST. I'd give Maria 100 stars if I could. Hire her!
Maria was the makeup artist at my friend's wedding - I knew that day I needed (NEEDED) her to do the makeup for my wedding day so I booked her shortly after. That was in 2019, we g...
ot married in 2021 and Maria stuck with us through all the "pivots."
My trial was the makeup for my engagement photos and I was in love. The makeup photographs so well. It looks beautiful in person and wears so well but the magic is in how it photographs.
Maria did the makeup for my entire bridal party as well as the moms. It was my mom in particular who just fell head over heels for Maria - she's still talking about her 4 months later!
The makeup was great and Maria is wonderful to work with. She books up really quick but if you have the chance to work with her you should take it! She's THE BEST!
The best and coolest out there. Maria did makeup for myself, my bridesmaids and my moms for our wedding and everyone looked SO BEAUTIFUL!! She is the sweetest ever and offered not ...
to talk to me while she did my makeup - it was the best thing anyone could have offered on wedding day because I was able to just sit and do nothing for a few moments (lol). I felt so beautiful all day and at the end of the night I was so sad to take my makeup off!
Maria is absolutely incredible! I cannot recommend her enough. She was so responsive to all of my questions throughout the process. She made me feel beautiful for both my engagemen...
t photos and on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and my mom loved their makeup too. We got ready really early that morning and that night it still looked perfect! Maria truly is the best, not only did she make me feel beautiful, but I loved being able to look in the mirror and still feel like myself.
Absolute fire! Maria was so great and made me feel like a million dollars on my wedding day. My makeup stayed all day long as well as my bridesmaids and everyone looked gorgeous th...

lity of her work is impeccable! I loved all my interactions with Maria and I’m already looking forward to the next time I’ll have Maria do my makeup!
Maria was amazing!! After my trial I gave her lots of changes because I am very picky about my makeup and she executed on my wedding day flawlessly. The makeup looked perfect when ...
I took it off at 2am after sweating and dancing all night. I thought about doing my own makeup for the wedding but I made 1000% the right decision by going with Maria. She was also incredibly quick and such a sweetheart. Love love love.
Maria's was absolutely amazing! My makeup stayed ALL DAY and I was crying a lot at our wedding. :) Touch up of lipstick and I was good to go. She was extremely fast, as well which ...
is so appreciated with larger wedding parties! 100% would recommend to all my friends!
Maria exceeded my expectations in every way. Due to COVID, we had to postpone our wedding. Of course, one of the first vendors I reached out to see if they would work with our new ...
date was Maria. She was more than professional and so caring. She recognized everything that we had to do go through while reaffirming me that everything would work out. Once I was able to schedule a trial with her, I immediately knew I made the BEST choice. I truly wouldn't have asked for better bridal makeup. And the best part was, I still felt like myself but more GLAMOROUS. Maria also made my entire wedding party and my mom feel gorgeous. Our makeup lasted all day and even looked just as good when they kicked us off of the dance floor at the end of the night. Maria is your girl if you're looking for natural but stunning makeup. She is so sweet and I would recommend her to anyone!
Maria is everything you could want for your special day and more. She is so kind, but mostly she is AMAZING at what she does. She’s great at listening to what you want and then mak...

Guuuurl. There’s no point in looking anywhere else, Maria Morris is who you want doing your wedding makeup!!! Not only did she make me and my bridesmaids look absolutely incredible...
, the makeup stayed on even after all the happy tears we cried throughout the day! Maria is SO sweet, so personable, and makes you feel so comfortable during the whole process. I was afraid I wasn’t going to articulate to her properly what kind of look i was going for without looking like a drag queen, and she NAILED IT! She made me look stunning, but also still look like myself. Another side note— being a COVID bride is hard and dealing with changing our wedding date was a mess, but Maria was one of the few vendors who was EXTREMELY accommodating and kind throughout the whole process. I couldn't recommend her enough and like I said earlier, LOOK NO FURTHER! :)
Maria was so great to work with and her work is amazing! I had a good idea of what I wanted my makeup to look like and she absolutely nailed it. All my bridesmaids loved their make...
up too! Everyone’s makeup still looked perfect by the end of the night. She is also SO sweet! 😊

I will forever chose Maria for any other makeup needs I have!
Maria was AMAZING! She made me look flawless and my make up lasted all day, even in the 90 degree Kansas heat! She’s super easy to get in contact with and is so easy to work with! ...

Looking for a Pinterest worthy makeup artist? You've found her! Working with Maria was a dream and everyone was so impressed with our makeup!! But not only that, she is so fast. I ...
don't know any other way to describe it other than pure magic. She was in an out in about an hour and a half (maybe even less). That was one bride and 4 bridesmaids. My hairstylist was even in shock saying she had never seen someone do wedding makeup that fast! But, that's not to say she wasn't attentive. Everyone looked flawless and the makeup itself is bulletproof. I read a note from my husband after getting my makeup applied and I was SURE the mascara was running and the foundation had lines but when I looked in the mirror NOTHING had budged. She listened to everything I wanted to and executed like the master makeup artist she is. I would 100% recommend using Maria's services for your wedding or event!!
I cannot say enough good things about Maria! She did my makeup for my wedding and for my sister in laws wedding as well. I absolutely loved it both times! She did such an amazing j...
ob. Also my makeup stayed the entire day through snow and sweat!
Would hands down recommend Maria!!
