About Happy Payne

Happy Payne

Hello! I'm Happy! I'm a makeup artist whose work focuses on music artists and commercial productions, but I've come to love weddings just as much! My fun, easy-going personality makes clients feel comfortable and relaxed. I love meeting new people and can adapt to any situation. I look forward to working with you!

I have a broad range of clients and working experiences so I'm very flexible. I used to own a custom cake business and loved spending time getting to know my couples and being a part of their big day. Makeup allows me to continue to do that!

    Best HMU Crew for your wedding!

    Happy and Alena were the absolute best team to have around on my wedding day. They were kind, helpful and such a nice calming presence. I decided to change my hair completely the day of the wedding and Alena delivered the exactly what I had in mind. Happy was great with listening to my vision and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. Everyone's hair and makeup looked great throughout the day even with the June heat and humidity.

    Belle of the ball

    From the moment I connected with Happy Payne, I knew she understood exactly what I was looking for. She responded right away to all my questions and made me feel heard throughout the entire process. During my trial, Happy picked up on details about my skin tone that I hadn't even considered and adjusted my look perfectly and it was like she saw the full picture before I did. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond by adding a subtle glimmer that I didn't ask for initially but absolutely loved, and she kept checking in to make sure everything felt right as she worked. I was constantly changing my mind about what I wanted, and she handled every single request with grace and patience. Happy made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, and I'll never forget how special she made me feel.

    Rose Mary, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and such a thoughtful review. It truly means the world to me that you felt heard, cared for, and beautiful throughout the entire process. I absolutely loved working with you. I appreciate that you trusted me to make changes on your wedding day that I felt would elevate the look beyond the trial. Your trust allowed me to tailor every detail to you in the moment, and I’m so happy you loved the final result. One of my favorite parts of this job is creating a look that still feels like you, just elevated in a way that makes you feel confident and radiant, and I’m so happy that came through on your wedding day. Wishing you so much happiness in this next chapter!

    Great Team

    Her team was super professional and personable. They were able to work with a variety of skin types from women in their early twenties to late 70s. Everyone felt beautiful!

    Happy is the best!

    From the moment we booked Happy Payne to do our wedding hair and makeup, we knew we were in good hands. Happy's communication style was clear, sweet, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Happy's calming presence was exactly what I needed to feel relaxed and confident. Her work was absolutely beautiful - she created a natural look that was perfect for our outdoor ceremony. All of our guests and bridesmaids raved about how gorgeous everyone's hair and makeup turned out. Happy truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was special. We are so grateful for her talent and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a skilled, personable beauty professional.

    Thank you Jamie! I loved the laid-back, fun vibe we had going the whole morning. Your mom was a special treat too. Fingers crossed I'll see you again soon at Rachel's wedding! All the best to you and Trent!

    Happy should be your first and only choice!

    OMG, where do I even start?! From the very beginning, when I was trying to choose a makeup artist for my wedding day, Happy stood out immediately. Her work is impeccable, she truly listens, and her communication is always a top priority. And of course — she completely over-delivered. She arrived right on time, exactly as promised, and every single one of my bridesmaids (including me!) was absolutely thrilled with our makeup. Honestly, without exaggeration… SHE IS THE BEST! Also, she is very funny without even trying, definitely a plus! Thank you, Happy! For making me feel like a rockstar on my wedding day!!!

    Cristina! This review!!! I feel so lucky when I'm chosen by someone as special and kind as you! Your family and friends were all so genuinely warm. When Marta came in she greeted me as if we were old friends while your brothers walked around happily snapping photos. I felt like part of the family. Clearly you mean a lot to everyone around you and I couldn't be happier that I got to spend the day with you!
