Mischa’s makeup work is truly exceptional. She’s a skin perfectionist—my skin looked flawless, radiant, and completely natural, never overdone. She truly cares about her work and how we, her client, feels about it. And she is all about skin perfection!!! Mine was smooth and glowy, and it lasted all day and night—the touch-up kit she provided honestly wasn’t even needed! She asked for inspo images ahead of time and instinctively got it. She understood exactly what I was going for without me having to over-explain. She was also incredibly responsive, communicative, and flexible throughout the process, which made everything feel easy. She is super collaborative —when I wanted to pivot, she pivoted, and she has SUCH a strong eye. The end result was WELL beyond my expectations…and I’m picky! Mischa had this calm “we’ve got this” energy that put me at such ease 🤍. And she was professional, on time, and completely in tune with where I was emotionally (so amazing on my wedding day). She gave me space to just BE. Calm, grounded, and supported-and created such a safe, easy environment that I found myself wanting to read and rehearse my vows with her (pausing mid-eye makeup, haha). I genuinely just loved her as a human and being around her :) She’s one of those people who creates such a peaceful and safe space on a character level and makes you feel better just having in the room. Which meant so much , esp on a day that can be so overwhelming . But all in all, I hired Mischa for makeup! And she’s the last makeup artist I’ll ever hire, cuz she’s who I’m sticking with!

I hired Samara for my 40th birthday party and could not be happier with the experience! She was punctual, professional, and truly listened to what I wanted. She perfectly captured the sophisticated yet natural look I was going for — I felt like the best version of myself. If you're looking for someone reliable, talented, and easy to work with, look no further. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a make up artist in Portsmouth, NH for a studio portrait. I could not find one looking in Portsmouth, but fortunately,Takeesha, who lives in Boston, drove up to start at 8 am for three women. All were very happy with her work.
