Highlighted review.
Tayla is a rare gem and truly the best in her field. From the very start, she was warm, communicative, and attentive, always following up thoughtfully and really listening to our n...
eeds. She’s also the first makeup artist who made me genuinely feel beautiful in my makeup. My skin is quite sensitive, and after a few tough past experiences, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Tayla exceeded every hope, especially for such an important day like my wedding. I also had a large wedding party of 14 ladies, which could have been a challenge, but Tayla handled it effortlessly. She created detailed timelines ahead of time, stayed calm even through last-minute changes, and brought an amazing team, Sabrina and Hilary, to help with makeup and hair. Everyone looked and felt incredible. Beyond her talent, Tayla is just a genuinely wonderful person. All my bridesmaids adored her and even said they’d love to visit her studio in New York to take lessons from her. Overall, 10/10. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She’s simply the best.

relaxed, and completely at ease throughout the day. They fit right in with the vibe of our wedding and truly added to the experience. I was so impressed with how beautiful everyone looked while still looking like themselves—just an elevated, elegant version. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. They were amazing, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Tayla and The Makeup Studio Saratoga enough! My wedding was in October 2025, so I am late writing this review, but, from the very beginning, Tayla made the entir...
e process feel easy, organized, and enjoyable. One thing I especially appreciated was the makeup trial she provided before the wedding. As a black woman who felt nervous about getting professional makeup due to fear of foundation and coverage concerns and more, I can say that Tayla is truly, very knowledgable and immediately eased my worries. The trial gave us plenty of time to collaborate, make adjustments, and find the perfect look for the big day, which made me feel completely confident and excited going into the wedding. On the wedding day, Tayla and Sabrina (additional artist) did an absolutely amazing job. My bridal makeup looked beautiful, glowy, and naturally glam. I felt comfortable, and the look lasted throughout the entire celebration. The Makeup Studio Saratoga's ability to accommodate my bridal party and family (9 total) also made the morning run so much more smoothly and ensured everyone had plenty of time and attention without feeling rushed. Tayla is professional, reliable, and wonderful to work with. She played a big part in making my wedding day stress-free and special. I am so grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented makeup artist who genuinely cares about her clients.

s were from the city and were all different complexions and ethnicities, we're a wild bunch! Tayla was so reassuring when she showed me her portfolio. Most of the makeup artists I had seen really only had white women in their portfolios, but hers was really a nice mix! You could tell she really does work with EVERYONE. 10/10 I'd recommend her to anyone! Loved it!
