Kara is officially one of my favorite people! I knew this was magic in the making from our initial makeup trial, but she really floored both myself and my bridal party with her incredible skills. I asked her to keep it light and preserve my face and she legitimately made magic. I couldn't be happier with the result, and wish I could just keep a Kara in my pocket at all times! She is insanely talented, very sweet and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a multi-fasceted makeup artist!

There aren’t enough stars to rate how amazing working with Alissa and her team was. Besides being the best in the game, Alissa’s professionalism, communication and personality make her stand out far above the rest. We planned our wedding almost 2 years out and as soon as I booked her, I felt instantly better about wedding stress. Between fitting 9 ladies in her chair in one morning, the top tier products she uses, a touch up kit alllll of the vibes she brings, we couldn’t have asked for a better MUA. I truly feel bad for any bride who doesn’t have Alissa and her team on their big day. If you’re looking for a MUA artist, I promise you, THIS is the one! We love you Alissa!!! ️ The Catricala’s

Ashleigh Cascio MUA 

5.0

  • Starts at $85
  • Serves Amherst, VA

When picking vendors for your wedding take into consideration that we are all unique and have our own individual styles. Especially your glam team! Some artists shine best when doing full glam, others excel at that naturally flawless look, and then there’s everything in between! Know what you want and pick an artist whose style matches your preference. My preferred style is soft glam with a lot of color on the face! Gimme all of the blush and bronzer. I like soft blurred lines and some smoke on the eyes. I hardly ever bake and when given the option, I will always opt for a “lit from within” glow.

Ashleigh was absolutely fantastic. She has such a cute and bubbly personality. When I first met her she was so warm and inviting. I don’t know how but she literally knew EXACTLY what I wanted. I look back at my pictures and I genuinely am shocked at how beautiful the makeup is. Everything I wanted her to focus on was absolutely perfect and she went above and beyond. Also- you know she’s dang good when people were complimenting my BRIDESMAIDS and mom’s makeup at the wedding. So many people asked who did it. As someone who has been a bridesmaid many times, I have never had anyone really compliment our makeup. I cannot reiterate this enough. BOOK HER!!!

Strange Artistry - Luxury Makeup & Hair by Kristin Mastrangelo 

5.0

  • Team of 1
  • Serves Amherst, VA

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

Rose did my hair and our bridal party's hair and did an excellent job! We did a hair preview a few weeks prior and she remembered exactly what I wanted. She also remembered some of the issues we had with the style at the preview and modified it to make it work best for the day. She brought extra bobby pins and hairspray and showed up perfectly on time (in fact she was a little early!). She was great and I highly recommend her! Adorn Salon did a great job coordinating the hair service. The stylist I was originally paired with was unexpectedly unable to work, but they were honest and worked quickly to ensure that they found a replacement.

I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist than Ashley! She completely got me bringing to life exactly what I was hoping for, even when I couldn’t fully put it into words myself. Ashley made me feel like myself, which is truly all I wanted on my wedding day. Since I don’t really wear makeup daily, I was nervous about looking too done-up—but she struck the perfect balance. She listened, understood what I wanted (even when I couldn’t explain it perfectly), and brought it to life so naturally. I’m so thankful!

Hey Lovely! You know what Makes My Day? YOU feeling confident, radiant, and the most elevated version of yourself! We can do just that with my 8+ years of specializing in soft, glamorous makeup that focuses on bringing out your natural glow. I will also personalize each look so that you -and your whole squad!- will LOVE every photo!

I found out about Make My Day at a bridal show. Lorin came and did a practice one ahead of time so we could figure out how we wanted the look. I don’t know anything about makeup and she made it really easy! On the wedding day she did my makeup and my mom, sister, and daughter’s makeup, which are all very different personalities! We all felt special and had input. It feels like Hollywood with the prep chair and lights. Lorin did fantastic, everyone was happy and we all looked so amazing in pictures! I scheduled my practice day makeup right before some family pictures and I look amazing in those as well! I am planning to use Make My Day before all professional pics going forward!

Meredith was incredible! I got married in Leicster NC and had Meredith come from SC to do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Her prices were very fair and definitely worth paying the extra for her to travel. She was so sweet and made me feel like an actual princess on my wedding day. What really sets her apart from others is that she focuses on the experience she provides and not just the results. On a day that is very chaotic Meredith was such a calming presence.

Bianca is incredibly talented and just the best! She did the makeup for my May 2024 Indian fusion wedding (both for my wedding day and my Sangeet), and I could not have felt more beautiful. Something that was incredibly important to me when deciding on a MUA was finding an artist that is well experienced with a variety of skin tones. Bianca absolutely killed it while doing a variety of different looks. Leading up to my wedding, I went to Bianca for a few facials. The actual experience of the facial was so relaxing, and my skin was so hydrated and glowing leading up to my wedding. After my wedding, I also asked Bianca if she could do a makeup class for me. She had made me feel truly so beautiful (but still like myself). The class made makeup approachable for someone who has very limited makeup experience. She was SO thorough afterwards in all the materials she sent me with instructions and products listed to be able to recreate the looks we went over. I cannot recommend Bianca enough for all of her services!!

I cannot express enough gratitude to Cashmeir Bridal for their exceptional work on my wedding day. From Cashmeir, Clarissa, and Evanna, the entire team delivered outstanding service and unmatched professionalism.

The team took the time to understand each person’s skin type, preferences, and comfort level, ensuring that everyone looked and felt their best. Having Cashmeir herself do my makeup was truly special; she has been my go-to artist since the very beginning of her career, and I proudly consider myself a lifelong VIP client. One of the most memorable moments was seeing my mother — who rarely wears makeup — look completely flawless. It was truly a testament to the artistry and talent of this team. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cashmeir Bridal to any bride seeking a professional, skilled, and dependable team capable of executing any vision to perfection.
