MKUP was absolutely wonderful! They kept to a great timeline and made everyone in our group look absolutely beautiful. Ivana and Heather did a wonderful job with my hair and makeup. After the trial I had some changes that I wanted and they were able to accommodate those changes. My makeup and hair lasted all night long and looked great even after dancing all night! Thank you guys for everything and making me a beautiful bride!
MKUP team is truly amazing. I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of an artist for their wedding needs. I had my trial, and they made sure to take their time and do what was best for me to feel the most beautiful on my big day. On the day it had snowed and they were there not only on time but early. They made sure all my girls had exactly what they wanted. Everyone was in love with their hair and makeup. I also felt like a million bucks!
Where do I even begin with Maggie? Words cannot fully express how incredibly thankful I am for her. She went above and beyond any expectation I could’ve ever dreamed of for a hair and makeup artist, and I truly believe everything happened for a reason so that Maggie could be with me on my special day. From the moment I woke up until my reception began, she was by my side, not just as a hair and makeup artist, but as a support system, friend, and someone who made me feel completely at ease.
Maggie is truly a team player. She’s easy-going, flexible, and patient—qualities that are so essential on a hectic wedding day. The fact she remembered to bring me water when I completely forgot to hydrate or was offering up her oil blotting sheets for tissues because we forgot them, I mean seriously, she is the BEST. She is just the kindest person, and there aren’t enough words to describe how amazing she is. And that’s before we even get to her talent!
During our hair and makeup trial, Maggie took the time to really listen to what I wanted. She studied my inspiration photos and went out of her way to bring every possible hair and makeup option to the table. When it came time for the big day, she nailed both looks perfectly. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup—seriously, I felt like a princess! I felt so beautiful, confident, and most of all, like me—and that really shows in all my wedding pictures.
Maggie isn’t just a vendor—she’s someone you leave the experience with feeling like you’ve gained another friend and that is such a rare and beautiful thing to find! I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a talented, kind, and all-around wonderful person to make you feel your absolute best on your wedding day, Maggie is your girl! Maggie is a girls girl and really has the purest heart and best intentions.
Myself and all of my bridesmaids looked and felt beautiful. MKUP is so easy to work with and are so fun. Would definitely recommend!
Maggie and her team are simply fabulous. I have had my makeup done by this team (amongst other services as well) on NUMEROUS occasions to include my wedding in 2023 and they NEVER disappoint. So professional, kind, easy going, and accommodating. They always provide their professional insight and strive to make sure you are more than pleased. I can not recommend them enough!!!
Choosing Tiff for my wedding hair and makeup was an absolute blessing. From the outset, her professionalism shone through, making the entire process a delight. Tiff's friendly demeanor put me at ease, turning the makeup chair into a space of comfort and conversation.
The quality of the makeup products she used was top-notch, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting look that stood up to the excitement of the day. Her attention to detail was impeccable, capturing the essence of my vision while enhancing natural beauty.
What truly set Tiff apart was her punctuality, both for the trial and the wedding day. In the midst of wedding chaos, her calm demeanor was a breath of fresh air. She transformed the getting-ready process into a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
If you're seeking a makeup artist who combines professionalism, friendliness, top-quality products, attention to detail, and a calm presence, Tiff is the one. She played a significant role in making our wedding day not only beautiful but also stress-free. Grateful for her talent and wonderful personality!
So happy I chose MKUP for my wedding hair and makeup. I had my mind set on a particular hairstyle, but when Tiffany did my trial, I started to change my mind, even though it was spot on. The day of the wedding I told her what I didn't like about it and based on what I said she suggest I go with a mostly down look. I feel like Tiffany's intuition was better than my own explanation of what I wanted. My hair turned out so beautiful and the exact vibe I was going for. Her ability to make suggestions based off of the information a client provides makes her an amazing stylist. What a great skill to have! Maggie did my makeup, and that too was flawless and exactly what I wanted. I didn't do a makeup trial because I live far away from their studio, and I had confidence Maggie would do a great job. All of the bridemaids hair and makeup looked amazing as well. Everyone was happy! MKUP made me feel so beautiful and I will forever be grateful for their work when I look at my wedding photos.
After looking at before and after photos on Instagram for nearly a year, I knew that MKUP was the only option to consider for my wedding day. The team is organized, professional, and so talented! Kayla and Rachel did our makeup—it was flawless and lasted all day! We got so many compliments! Tina did our hair and she is truly the hair maven—she is the best! She looked at our inspiration photos and somehow made them all a reality despite our girls having different hair texture, length and volume from the girls in the photos. Highly recommend—you won’t be disappointed!
MKUP The Beauty Studio is an incredible vendor to work with for wedding hair and makeup! I originally followed them on Instagram and was just blown away by the before and after pictures I saw. I was so excited when they were available for my wedding date. The online communication was so prompt, kind, and professional. They were easy to work with when we needed to add an additional person for hair and makeup and were quick to answer any questions I had. My trial was so much fun and I felt so beautiful at the end. On the day of the wedding, Maggie, Rachel, Aida, and Tiff were on time and kept our morning running smoothly. We finished with plenty of time and everyone looked incredible! My 7 year old nieces enjoyed having their hair done as well. My hair and makeup stayed beautiful all day and I felt amazing! I cannot recommend MKUP The Beauty Studio enough!
Maggie did the makeup for my wedding day for me, my bridesmaids, and my mother. She was amazing from start to finish! She showed up early and ready to work. She customized the makeup to bring out each person's unique features and the results were stunning! I have had my makeup done by Maggie three times now and each time she makes me feel absolutely amazing from her customer service to her work. My makeup lasted beautifully from that morning all the way until the end of a long day of hugs, tears, and dancing. Would highly recommend!
Just had Mkup the Beauty studio for my wedding on 10/03/22, they did a great job on my hair and makeup. The only problem I had was there was a miscommunication between their employees and they didn’t even have my service put on the artists schedule. They were supposed to arrive at 11:30 and I even got to the venue early to await there arrival. An hour goes by and I haven’t heard from them. I called the makeup artist twice and no one answered. Eventually I got a call back and someone forgot to block off her schedule for my wedding day. Tiff was very quick to pack up and head to the venue and still got my hair and makeup done on time which I am extremely grateful for! But if I haven’t continuously reached out that morning, they would’ve never shown up and I would’ve been without hair and makeup on my wedding day. Mistakes happen, and at the end of the day the services she provided were beautiful! I would still recommend this company 100%!!!
Team MKUP did a fantastic job on our wedding day. My bridesmaids looked FLAWLESS and amazing. Their hair and makeup were perfect and lasted all night. I can’t say enough good things about them. A wedding day can be super stressful, but the minute that Maggie, Tiff, and Tina arrived, they made me feel extremely calm and confident that we’d all be ready on time. In fact, we were even ahead of schedule with both hair and makeup! Maggie made me feel like the most beautiful bride. So much that when I looked in the mirror I started crying. She is truly a master at makeup. She helped me feel calm the entire morning, and I’ve honestly never felt more beautiful in my entire life. Tina is amazing with hair. She listened to changes I asked for from the trial, and my hair was beautiful and secure the entire night. If you want an amazing hair and make up team for your wedding, choose team MKUP!!! They were the perfect addition to my wedding day squad!
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Best decision I made was booking this company for my bridal makeup. Not only did they accommodate me last minute, they’ve gone above and beyond in making my day simply perfect.
MKUP was incredible. Not only was my hair and makeup perfect , but each bridesmaid and mother was also done perfect. My leads were great !! 100% recommend !
I have nothing but great things to say about the MKUP team and I can't say enough! They are such a fun, talented group and really made me (and my bridal party, mom & MIL) feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I cannot imagine my wedding day without them! Ivana did my make up and I would get my makeup done with her again a million times over. I felt stunning and still looked like myself! Tina did my hair and really made my vision come to life. My bridal party, mom and MIL had nothing but amazing things to say about the MKUP team. From initial consultation to the trials and the wedding day, they blew me away. You will not be disappointed in booking them!
I spent a long time trying to find a hair and makeup vendor for our wedding and I can not stress enough how ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE they were!! Maggie went above and beyond to make my vision come to life. As an out of town bride she was so accommodating with booking my trial which I was so thankful for! Her entire team is so professional and they really make you and your wedding party feel pampered on your special day! I recommend MKUP the beauty studio to all brides looking for an incredible hair and makeup team for your wedding!
We are so thankful for MKUP and their perfect team, Kayla & Tina. They went above and beyond to make our day so special and all of our bridesmaids looked amazing. We were a little rushed for time, but they nailed it out of the park with even a few extra minutes for touch ups. We would definitely recommend using MKUP!
I can't say enough kind words about Maggie and her team. I really struggled with picking between airbrush and traditional makeup. Maggie was so helpful and patient with me, helping me decide what was best for me. She talked me through my makeup and hyped me up for my day. Mylinda definitely understood what I wanted for my hair and knocked it out of the park! They stayed on schedule with 12 ladies getting ready. I CAN'T IMAGINE THE DAY WITHOUT THEM! This team is amazing.
Maggie was a dream come true when it came to a make up artist. She was super fun and easy to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable while she is working. She was able to put the look together that I was going for perfectly and made me feel truly flawless on my wedding day.
If you are reading this, congratulations!! You have found your wedding MUA! There is truly no other choice when it comes to Maggie and her team. I was so fortunate to have met Maggie back in 2019 during my friend’s wedding day. Her genuine and uplifting personality made a lasting impression- as well as her absolutely stunning work!! Guests were commenting on how incredible all of our makeup looked until the very last second of the night. As a wedding vendor myself, I know how hard that is to come by in the industry. It takes true passion, talent, professionalism, and dedication to understand and execute a client’s vision- and Maggie does it flawlessly!!
With that said, I knew I had to reach out when I got engaged about Maggie’s “Do It Yourself” bridal class! Let me tell you, Maggie went above and beyond to make me feel confident and cared for every step of the way. It truly felt like learning from a sister or forever friend. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I am so excited to use the tips I have learned, and to work with Maggie for any/every makeup and beauty service in the future!! She is simply the BEST in the business and I cannot recommend her enough!!
I have never, in my life, felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and I credit that 100% to the MKUP team. Maggie is an absolute makeup magician and the best in the business. The second I got engaged, I knew I had to have Maggie based on her work I had seen and her day of execution far exceeded my expectations. As a redhead, I have had some truly horrendous experiences in the past with having my makeup done--Maggie listened to my concerns from the very beginning and understood my vision and the look I wanted to achieve. My bridal party was equally in love with Maggie's work. One of my bridesmaids has been in almost 10 weddings, each having had her makeup professionally done, and she is still raving about her makeup from Maggie 6 months later. I cannot rave enough about Maggie and the MKUP team. Professional, amazing talent and event more amazing ladies.
I could not recommend MKUP more for your wedding hair and makeup. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and it's a true testament to the team at MKUP. They were incredibly responsive and flexible around scheduling - from rescheduling the entire wedding due to COVID, to squeezing me in for a last minute hair trial before my wedding day, the MKUP team made everything extremely easy and stress free. When it came to my hair and makeup, they nailed my vision perfectly and I couldn't have been happier!
Maggie made me feel so beautiful! She was amazing in understanding my vision of very soft, natural glam. She was so good at communicating and always would answer any questions of mine. She was so professional but so down to earth. I would totally recommend her and her team to anyone!! Worth every penny!
Maggie and Samantha completed our hair and make up for my wedding. I have never felt more beautiful. I loved every part of my hair and make up. It lasted ALLLL DAY AND NIGHT. It felt light on my face. I didn’t look oily. I felt like myself. I felt beautiful.
The MKUP team was amazing!! My bridesmaids and I looked and felt flawless. This team really knows their products and how to apply it. I received so many compliments that day, and felt beautiful from the inside out! Thank you ladies for all your help, including make-up and hair trials, color matching extensions, and traveling to our venue!
As an avid lover of all things beauty, I never had my makeup professionally done until my wedding. I was worried about having someone besides myself do my makeup but I have to say, working with Maggie King was truly the greatest beauty experience I could have ever asked for! She is incredibly professional, walks you through exactly what she’s doing and made me look the most beautiful I have ever seen myself. If you are on the fence about having someone do your makeup, I highly recommend MKUP. They take time to get to know their clients, work with your unique features/preferences, and make sure the application is flawless. I truly cannot thank Maggie and her team for glamming my bridal party and I on my wedding day! It may have been my first professional makeup experience, but it certainly will not be my last!
Hiring MKUP as my hair and makeup artists on my wedding day was hands down, the best decision. Maggie and her assistant did an amazing job with our makeup. Myself, bridesmaids, and mom/MIL all looked gorgeous, but still looked like ourselves which was so important to me. Maggie truly cared about making us all feel beautiful and put so much detail and effort into doing so. She is not only an amazing makeup artist but a wonderful human. She brought such good positive and calming energy to our day, which was an amazing added bonus. Tiff was so talented and efficient with doing my bridesmaids and moms hair. Everyone was so happy with her work! My bridal updo was exactly what I had envisioned. Hair and makeup lashed the entire day and night! I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for HMU artists who will listen and make you feel your best. They are such talented and wonderful people!
Thank you to the amazing MKUP team for making myself, bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law feel and look beautiful on my wedding day! AND thank you for sticking by our sides through COVID-19 and our postponement - we will forever be grateful. MKUP was exactly what I was looking for - a team with amazingly talented women who specialize in both hair and makeup (and travel to you!). Each of my bridesmaids had a specific hairstyle and makeup look in mind, and they were able to fulfill their wishes with no hesitations. After completing everyone's hair and makeup, they made sure to set aside time for anyone who needed touch-ups. We had so much fun with the whole team! MKUP not only made me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day, but they also did my hair and makeup for engagement photos. I cannot recommend them more! I will 100% be using their services again in the future :)
The ladies over at MKUP were incredible! Ivana took care of my make-up and I absolutely felt like the most beautiful bride ever. Right from the trial, she listened to my requests and helped with suggestions to give me a magical look. She also took care of my mom who doesn’t typically wear make up and helped her to feel flawless but still like her self on a very important day for her too! Rachel S took care of my hair and made magic happen to give me the exact look I was going for! She took the feedback from the trial and made sure it turned out even better on the big day! She made my little flower girl feel like a princess too and kept her comfortable and entertained through the whole process! Nicki at the salon was VERY informative and helpful with all the logistics, proper number of assistants and just making sure everything went smoothly as well as answering my million questions. We even had some timing issues with people running late on the wedding day and all the ladies were flexible and made it happen with zero issues or complaints! I didn’t have to worry at all.
Maggie and her team are absolutely amazing and I am so glad I picked them to do our hair and make up!! Their coordinator Nicki is super organized and responds to emails so quickly which was super helpful, especially since we had to postpone our wedding because of COVID. Maggie was our lead make up artist and Tina was the lead for hair. They were both so nice and really spent the time making sure I liked everything. I never felt like I couldn't speak up if I didn't like anything - which I didn't even need to because they NAILED IT. The make up and hair stayed put all night, I never had to worry about anything coming undone. They made all of my bridal party feel so beautiful and confident for the big day.
Maggie and her team did a great job for my wedding hair and makeup. Hair stayed in place and my makeup didn't budge. My bridesmaids and I looked wonderful.
Where to start! One of my friends booked Mkup for their wedding hair and makeup and I was obsessed and knew I had to have them for my wedding. One perk up front about using them is that hair and makeup are together and you don’t need to worry about booking two different companies for this. And they also traveled down to Baltimore for the wedding day!
I had communicated to my lead hair stylist (Mylinda) that I envisioned having my hair in a low bun for the first look and ceremony and then taking it out for a second look to have it just down and curly. During the trial Mylinda came up with three different ideas on how to achieve this and we picked one. I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t be able to do this, but she DELIVERED! She exceeded my expectations and made it happen and I could not be any happier with how my wedding hair looked.
Ivana is PHENOMENAL at makeup. She is precise and very particular while taking her time to ensure your makeup dreams are achieved. During my trial, I had told her that I wanted something natural, simple and wanted to look like myself. On the first try she delivered and made me feel so beautiful! When she showed up the day of the wedding, she remembered exactly how I had it for my trial and made me feel like the most elegant and stunning bride.
I had four total Mkup staff and they did an AMAZING job with everyone’s hair and makeup – making them look elegant and not over the top and listened to exactly what they wanted. I really hope that I’m in another wedding where Mkup is doing hair and makeup because they’re incredible at what they do. The wedding party received so many compliments on how amazing each and every one of us looked and I couldn’t have imagined using anyone else for the day!
I have so many amazing things to say about MKUP! Nicki, their booking contact, was a great communicator and super organized with our information and timeline for the day. Maggie was our lead makeup artist and Mylinda was our lead hairstylist and they are both so so talented and kind! Big thanks to their assistant makeup and hair stylists too - everyone was so sweet and skilled at hair and makeup! Thank you so much MKUP for making me look beautiful and confident on my wedding day and likewise for my bridesmaids, flower girls, and mom.
Maggie and her team are amazing! Every person we came in contact from the business with was professional and so sweet. Maggie and Tina are extremely talented. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup and truly felt beautiful, as did my family and bridesmaids. When we had to postpone they were very accommodating. Thank you, Maggie!!
Maggie and her team did such an amazing job with makeup for my wedding! Maggie is so sweet and really listened to my makeup vision. I was very happy with the result and the makeup stayed on all day and night! Liz was Maggie’s assistant MU artist and she was great too! My bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law all looked gorgeous! We are all different ages with different skin types and they did such a great job working with all of us. Nicki was so responsive with emails and she sent me a detailed schedule a few weeks prior to my wedding. I cannot say enough great things about Maggie and her team!!
