About Makeup by Steph
Makeup by Steph
Hi, I’m a professional makeup artist with over six years of experience, trained in both cosmetology and aesthetics. I specialize in soft glam, timeless makeup that enhances your natural beauty not masks it while ensuring your skin looks radiant and flawless throughout your wedding day. My approach is skin-focused and personalized, allowing me to work confidently with all skin types and tones. Every look is thoughtfully designed to feel effortless, polished, and true to you, lasting from “I do” to the last dance. I’m passionate about creating a calm, luxury experience where brides feel comfortable, confident, and completely taken care of
What sets me apart is my strong background in skincare and my belief that makeup should enhance—not overwhelm. I understand that makeup isn’t for everyone, which is why my approach is focused on creating looks that feel comfortable, natural, and elevated, never heavy or unrecognizable. My goal is for my brides to feel like the best version of themselves—confident, radiant, and at ease. With a skin-focused foundation and personalized application, I ensure each look complements your natural features while feeling effortless and wearable throughout your entire wedding day.

Amazing wedding makeup experience!
Makeup by Steph was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. From our first consultation, Steph demonstrated a deep understanding of different skin tones and facial features, providing knowledgeable and honest guidance on the best makeup techniques and products for my bridal party. Her calm and friendly demeanor put everyone at ease, and her great sense of humor made the getting-ready process fun and lighthearted. The quality of Steph's work was superb - she achieved a precise, flawless look for each person, with a diverse range of styles to complement our various ages and complexions. Steph was also incredibly prompt, ensuring everyone looked picture-perfect in time for the ceremony. I received so many compliments on my eyeshadow, which Steph executed to perfection. Makeup by Steph truly helped make our special day even more wonderful! I’ve already recommended to her other brides and would love to work with her again.
Response from vendor•Mar 27, 2026Thank you Jackie!! It was a pleasure being apart of your wedding! Had so much fun with you and your family. So glad you loved your makeup look this is why I do makeup to make everyone feel there most beautiful and confident on their special day🤍✨Wedding makeup
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steph! She did my makeup as well as my mother-in-law’s for my wedding day, and we were both beyond happy with the results. We don’t typically wear much makeup, but she made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. She created a look that felt completely natural while still providing beautiful full coverage. We truly felt like ourselves; just elevated and glowing. She listened carefully to what we wanted and made sure we were confident and happy with every detail. After we were finished, she even provided us with a touch-up kit to use throughout the night, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. She is incredibly talented, professional, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup artist who enhances your natural beauty while making you feel at ease!

Lasted all day!
Working with Makeup by Steph was an absolute pleasure. Her communication style is professional yet relaxed, and she was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly amazing - the soft glam look she created for me on my wedding day was worth every penny and lasted beautifully all night long. Steph also helped me figure out the best makeup routine for my combination skin, and even gave me a small amount of lipstick for touch-ups, which came in so handy! She was extremely nice and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. The photos are from our trial, the ones taken in the bathroom were hours later after I had ran around doing wedding errands and ate! I couldn't have asked for a better beauty professional to be part of our special day.
