I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Tai for my March 2025 wedding. I had never gotten my makeup professionally done before, and honestly had some nerves going into the process. I knew from pictures that I felt like Tai’s style fit what I was envisioning, and in the first minutes of meeting Tai, I knew I was in good hands. She is such a kind and bubbly person, the trial felt like catching up with an old friend. Seeing myself in the mirror both on the trial and on the wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and confident. I felt like me, but elevated. On top of that, she also helped to cover a scar that I got on my back from an unexpected procedure a month prior to my wedding. I felt so insecure about it, and she was able to cover it with ease. As for the look itself, it lasted all night, through happy tears and a hot dance floor. One of the best wedding vendors out there, would definitely work with her again!!

Beloved and Radiant Makeup Artistry, LLC

  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $360
  • Serves Columbia, VA

I am a passionate bridal and special event hair and makeup artist dedicated to making clients feel confident, radiant, and completely themselves on their most unforgettable day. With 8 years of experience in the industry, I specialize in creating timeless, elegant looks tailored to each client’s unique features, style, and vision. I offer a range of hair and makeup styles from natural to full glam, with most clients falling somewhere in between based on their personal preferences!

Abi from Beloved and Radiant Makeup Artistry was truly a gift on my wedding day. She did both my hair and makeup, and I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful. Abi created a timeless, elegant look that made me feel like the most radiant bride in the world — classic, confident, and completely myself. Beyond her incredible talent, Abi brought a comforting, uplifting presence, and genuine joy into that morning that meant so much to me. My mother had passed away unexpectedly just two months before the wedding, and her absence left a deep ache in my heart. Abi filled that space with so much kindness and genuine care. She made me feel seen, supported, and at peace — as though I had a dear friend by my side. She created a space where I felt safe to be vulnerable and still experienced laughter and peace amid all the emotion. Not only did she make me feel beautiful on the outside, but she also helped me feel radiant within — something I will never forget. I can’t recommend Abi and Beloved and Radiant Makeup Artistry enough. Her talent, kindness, and heartfelt presence made my wedding day truly special.

I cannot recommend Candice and the team of women at Society 11:11 enough! She did my makeup for my wedding, along with my MOA and my mom, and every single one of us was blown away by her talent. My mom even loved her makeup so much she didn’t want to remove it! Candice truly is the best at what she does, using top-tier products to create flawless looks. Before my wedding shower, I was dealing with stress-related skin irritation and redness, and Candice worked her magic to make my skin look flawless. Her recommendations were spot-on and showed her expertise. I utilized both hair and makeup services and everyone LOVED their look-thank you to the ladies who were apart of the hair team! I am now a client for life! I will continuously book with Candice because her work is unmatched. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day!

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.

If I could give more stars I would! Kristin was such a treat to work with. Not only does she do an AMAZING job with makeup, she is honestly such a sweet person. She made the day even more special and I was honored to have her a part of it. She was kind and sweet and open to ideas. Everyone in my family loved her. Makeup wise, she is awesome! My makeup stayed on all day! We got married in Luray Caverns and took photos by the willow trees, it was hot but the makeup stayed on and still looked amazing. If you need a makeup artist for your big day, Kristin is your girl! Thanks so much for being a part of my day!

As a former musical theatre performer in the NYC/NJ area, I loved makeup—the cakey, heavy stage looks, not as much.. That inspired me to pursue my passion for natural, skin-forward artistry for beauty, bridal, film, and television. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve honed my craft under the guidance of industry greats including Kristina Gasperas andTerri Tomlinson, among others. My work has been featured on respected platforms such as Washingtonian Weddings, Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards (Capital Region), NASA, DCW50 (Washington DC’s CW Network), Everyday Wealth with Soledad O’Brien and Jean Chatzky, and Miss Virginia Teen USA,

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! Kiley absolutely blew me away with the look she was able to achieve for my wedding. As a no-makeup girlie, I was quite nervous to wear any on the big day and not feel like myself. Her consultation process is extensive because her attention to detail on every wish you want is spot-on. I told her I wanted a bit of pop of color possibly on my lips but overall just wanted to enhance my beauty with soft pink tones. I highly, highly recommend doing the trial session first because it helped us realize what colors looked good on me and how much makeup I actually wanted on. She is an expert at applying individual fake lashes which 1) helped me not bleed mascara down my face when I cried and 2) looked stunning without looking unnatural! After the trial, I emailed her some of my thoughts and she executed my vision perfectly on the actual day. She also made my mother and maid of honor look absolutely gorgeous; we all felt so confident and beautiful all day long! Most of all, she was just such a sweet presence the day-of and the whole planning process. I am so incredibly appreciative of Kiley's artistic gift and cannot recommend her enough!!!

Whether you want soft glam or full bridal glam, I’ll create a look that reflects your unique style and lasts all day. I’m here to make your wedding morning calm, joyful, and stress-free. I’d love to be part of your big day!

Tisha and her team did a wonderful job with my October 2024 wedding. I could not have been happier with this hair and make up vendor. Tisha is kind, easy to work with, truly cares about the brides and families she works with, and is very professional. I had about 20-25 ladies that needed to be ready (both hair and make up) by 11:30am that day. Tisha talked to me well in advance to make sure we had the right number of artists, she asked for everyone's hair and make up preference in advance so her team knew what to expect/ supplies to bring, and she works well with everyone from auntie to bridesmaids to bride to flower girl. She kept me consistently updated and did a trial with me to make sure i was comfortable. I highly recommend this vendor if you're a bride looking for someone to have your back. I could not be more grateful to this company.
