Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 36 years old based out of Waterbury, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
Aleks and her team are so professional and easy to work with. Aleks was helpful during and after the makeup trial we had. She was very supportive when my skin was having issues and was able to provide very helpful advice when I reached out to her about it. She asked me questions about my skin care and was able to recommend some things to try to sort out my skin issues before the big day. The day of the wedding, my vision was brought to life from my hair to my makeup! My skin was glowing! And she made sure my bridesmaids loved their looks too! 10/10 would recommend!

I wanted to say thank you to Alex and Ashley. They did the hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding last weekend for 6 of us. We all looked amazing! Most of us had pictures for how we wanted our hair and we got exactly what we wanted. My biggest concern was that Lacey and my hair usually doesn’t hold a curl and we planned on a lot of dancing. Our hair looked perfect at the end of the night. When it comes to makeup, we have the Irish red blotchy skin when happy or sad. Ashley used something to hide that. Even though we were very emotional, none of the pictures showed red blotches. Ashley also was an amazing listener when we went for the trial. Lacey kept saying glitter and sparkle (which scared me) but Ashley gave her beautiful sparkle and even ordered a special body glitter. Thank you both!

I’m a professional makeup artist with 7 years of experience, specializing in bridal glam and waxing. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating looks that make my brides feel their absolute best. With a very diverse clientele, I’m skilled in working with all skin tones and bringing each person’s natural beauty to life. My suite is located in Wallingford, CT, and I also travel for weddings and special occasions.

I stressed over a lot of decisions I had to make for my wedding but hiring Wilda was certainly not one of them. she was so sweet and professional which really made the "prep" part of the day memorable and enjoyable. Wilda is truly talented, but maybe more importantly, she listens to what you want and is able to make it happen. I love the transformative power of makeup, but for my wedding, I didn't want to transform, I wanted to look like myself only better. Thanks to Wilda, I really felt flawless on my big day and not just made-up. I could recommend Wilda wholeheartedly (and did!). She is a true professional – punctual, organized, experienced – as well as an amazing artist.

Ruby was amazing at helping coordinate with Gaby for my hair and makeup trial as well as day of. They are both so incredibly sweet and professional. It was amazing having Gaby on-site on my special day. They were very accommodating of last minute changes. My makeup was flawless and lasted all day (and even the next day!). We had a little more trouble with my hair in the back, it fell flat a little earlier than I would have hoped, but could've been accelerated because of the weather (face framing lasted all night and that's what really matters). The makeup and hair on mother of the bride and mother of the groom was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend Brushed!

We specialize in "soft glam", sophisticated glamour and provide on-location and in-studio services in CT utilizing the latest techniques in makeup artistry and are available for any occasion or photo shoot. Airbrush makeup and false lashes available. Additional makeup artists for large parties.

Jennifer is an exceedingly talented makeup artist. In the weeks leading up to my wedding, I went through a number of makeup trials with MUAs who didn't seem receptive to what I wanted for my wedding day. Jennifer proved the polar opposite in asking for both inspiration photos and my aesthetic preferences. Likewise, the products she used in my preview were long-lasting yet looked luminous and natural; even my fiance praised her work, saying it was his "favorite look by far." On the big day, instead of fretting about bridal beauty mishaps, I felt more than confident leaving my makeup--as well as that of my wedding party--in Jennifer's capable hands. I can't recommend her highly enough!

My experience with PG Beauty bar was amazing from start to finish. Pam was excellent with communication right from our first email, making the whole process seamless. On my wedding day, Pam and Brenna drove to an Air BnB I was staying at to get ready even though it was in the middle of nowhere. They were both on time and even finished early! Pam did my makeup and it was the perfect subtle glam look. It lasted AL NIGHT even through hours of dancing and sweating. Brenna styled my hair exactly how I had envisioned, listening to my requests for some changes to the style and giving me the most elegant look.

Jena was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her services enough! As someone who’s idea of wearing makeup is mascara and tinted moisturizer, it was really important to me that I still looked like “myself” in all of the pictures and Jena’s soft glam style accomplished exactly that! I looked like myself - just an elevated version! She was so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process and patient with the fact that I know very little about makeup. I really felt beautiful on my wedding, and I owe a lot of that to Jena. She and her entire team were just delightful - do yourself a favour and book her!

Justine was an absolute joy to work with throughout the wedding process! I loved how incredibly communicative and fast she was to respond to any and all questions. But most of all, I was absolutely in love with my wedding hair! During the trial, Justine really was open to trying out different looks, making subtle changes, and ensuring we found a style I loved for my wedding day. On the wedding day she flawlessly replicated what we had decided on during the trial. While my style was more of a loose curl, some of my bridesmaids have curly hair and she did a beautiful job working with and enhancing their natural curls too. Justine is incredibly talented. On top of it all, Justine is a great person to be around - she is easy to talk to and you can tell she really cares about what she does. I would 100% recommend Justine for your wedding day, and I wish I lived close enough to her to have her do my hair regularly!

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

I got married about 4 hours away from where I live so finding the perfect person to do my wedding hair wasn’t easy! Thankfully, once I found Meghan’s Instagram, I just KNEW her work was exceptional! We did a trial a few months before my wedding and I provided some small changes and notes after wearing it the whole day. When it came to wedding day, she did exactly what I asked and checked in with me along the way. Not only did it look fabulous, my style lasted well over the 12 hour day!
