Tasha Makeup Artistry

An East Bay Makeup Artist with over 10+ years in the industry. I started in the makeup industry at Sephora where I have been trained by brand educators from Make Up Forever, Urban Decay, NARS, DryBar, Dior, KENDO brands, and many more. My experience has not only been limited in retail stores, but I have spent time in theatrical makeup and was able to gain valuable experience and nomination for my work. I have decided to focus on bridal makeup as it puts my skills to the test on a special day for you!

I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done by Tasha for two days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. On the first day, she created such a flawless look that lasted beautifully and made me feel so confident. The next day, I wanted something a little lighter with less layering, and she listened so patiently to my preferences and executed it perfectly. I truly appreciated how attentive she was, making sure I felt comfortable and beautiful in my own skin. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also so sweet, professional, and easy to work with. I received so many compliments both days, and I can’t thank her enough for making me feel my absolute best. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist who understands, listens, and delivers stunning results!

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves. We are all about complimenting the mood and aesthetic of your wedding weekend while coming up with a custom look that brings it all together. With the mama wolf, Ash having over a decade of editorial and fashion experience, our work is more fashion-forward than “bridal”. Highlighting natural beauty above all. Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!

Jasmine did my makeup on my wedding day, and I can't believe how fabulous I looked. It was a very hot day of 100 degrees, but my makeup lasted all night with no smudges, running, or creasing! I chose the option to do a bridal trial beforehand, which I highly recommend. I was able to see what I liked and what I didn't like so there were no surprises on the big day. I also chose the option to get a full-size lip gloss and powder to reapply when I needed it. Jasmine is also one of the sweetest people I have ever met, so it was so fun to work with her. Kate did my hair on my wedding day and it looked amazing! She used products that helped my hair hold a curl and keep all the flyaway hairs controlled. I also used clip in extensions, and she did a great job putting them in because I felt no tugging or pulling at all. Both Kate and Jasmine got my bridal party ready, and we all felt so beautiful. Thank you both so much for making us feel like queens!

Here to curate with you a memorable beauty experience, while capturing the essence of your vision, so you feel and look stunningly you. Having your makeup and hair styled is such a special moment, and selecting your perfect artist is very exciting, yet can be overwhelming, as you want the very best. (you deserve it!) Someone you can build a genuine connection, while understanding your beauty vision, and that is me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiffany and her team did such an incredible job on hair and makeup for my wedding, I would definitely recommend her to anyone! To start off, she spent so much time with me for the trial (more than planned), making sure we had a chance to try a couple different things without any rush, which was so helpful. On my actual wedding day I loved everything she did, and my new husband said I looked like a movie star! I liked the trial looks when we did them, and Tiffany genuinely listened and understood what I wanted to tweak. When the big day came and we had the details set from the beginning, everything came out looking even better. She specializes in a natural-but-enhanced look and really nailed it - I didn’t feel or look like I was caked in makeup, I just looked like the absolute best version of myself! Trying to find pictures to include here I struggled to find ones that seemed like they were showing off the makeup - but that's kind of the point. The makeup wasn't super showy (exactly as I wanted), it just made me look really great in every picture! And this is from someone who often doesn't like pictures of myself. The other artists she brought for our officiant and moms (both in the pictures I'm including) also did a great job. They handled mature skin, thick/unruly hair, and curls beautifully. I’ve never seen my mom’s shoulder length curly hair look so good! They were also great company all morning, which is so important.
