I cannot say enough amazing things about Mindy and Shirley! They did an absolutely AMAZING job on…read moremy wedding day. I felt so stunning, confident, and completely like myself. They truly captured the full look and feel I had envisioned and somehow made it even better than I imagined! From the trial, I knew they were the perfect choice. Mindy absolutely nailed my hair, and Shirley made my makeup flawless. They were both so professional, calming, and SO much fun to be around--which is exactly the energy you want on your wedding morning! They made getting ready such a fun and special part of my wedding day. Not only did they make me feel incredible, but they also created the most beautiful looks for all of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked and felt amazing! I'm so grateful I had Mindy and Shirley there on such an important day. Their talent, energy, and personalities made the whole experience unforgettable. I would recommend them a million times over!!

My mom and I used them for both the rehearsal and the wedding day, and we were blown away by the results--we received so many compliments! They made us look like the best versions of ourselves: natural, radiant, and somehow glowing for 12+ hours straight. Beyond their talent, what really stood out was their energy and dedication. Lexi had a family emergency the night before the rehearsal and came off little sleep--but you would never have known. She showed up with such a positive attitude, was an absolute joy to be around, and still did the most incredible job. This team works together so seamlessly, creating not just a beautiful final look but a genuinely fun and calming experience. Shirley and Lexi even stayed late on our wedding day to make sure I had any final touch-ups before walking down the aisle. That kind of care and professionalism is rare and deeply appreciated. I can't recommend MAB highly enough. If you want to feel confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of on your wedding day, this is the team to book!

She doesn't mind questions and is always recommending the best products. This time I felt like the price I paid was well worth every penny.

I had never had my makeup done professionally before, and she took the time to really get to know me and what I wanted, helped coach me to find sample photos of makeup I liked online, and truly made the effort to make me feel comfortable with the whole process! Also not to be underrated is the great conversations we had while she did my makeup! Then on the big day, Tomara did the most incredible job and I felt amazing ALL day. Her makeup lasted and it felt like there was nothing on my face! Amazing! I will now be recommending her to everyone I know and calling her whenever I have an event! Wow.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this business to other brides-to-be in the DMV area and I…read moredisagree with other reviews. Monica was my makeup artist for my wedding, which happened on September 3, 2017. She was picked 10 months in advance and was paid in full before the wedding date (BIG MISTAKE...Brides, don't ever do this). I had a rather large wedding party with seven bridesmaids who needed make-up along with my mother, mother in law, and myself. The artist and I communicated a schedule and I even paid extra for her assistant. However, my biggest fear happened when Monica and her assistant showed up OVER 2 HOURS LATE! When Monica did show up, she told us she had another event that morning (who schedules another event on a Sunday morning before 8am when she is due for another wedding?) that ran late but she would call 2 other assistants to get us back on schedule. Needless to say, they never showed up. As a result, the entire wedding day was off schedule and we ended up having to rush through the photography and reception; vendors who were on time and paid to do a job within a scheduled amount of time. That meant less memories would be recorded, less dances and fellowship with my husband, family and friends, some of whom flew thousands of miles for this moment, and an overall feeling of rushing throughout the day (which ultimately brings out the bridezilla that no one, including you, wants to see). Afterwards, there was no follow up and there was NEVER AN APOLOGY. Lastly, I'll comment re: the makeup itself. The trial makeup was great. I loved it. I thought my bridesmaids looked great, too. However, the day of my makeup had a very yellow-ey tint to it, which I expressed to her and she said the makeup needed to set in...I have no idea what that means or how it would make it appear less yellow. In photos, my face looked a different color from my neck and under my eyes looked cakey, which I also hate. Also, her "makeup kit" that I was supposed to take with me for touch-ups throughout the day was some powder dumped in a plastic baggie with a couple small brushes. Tacky. I never followed up with her and I am only writing this now because I was asked by one of my vendors to provide information about my other vendors for an online feature. Even now, it makes me pretty angry and disappointed to recount how I was treated on one of the most important days of my life. I just don't understand how one woman could do that to another on their wedding day. Do yourself a favor, do not book this business for your wedding, especially if you have a larger wedding party. It's clear that she couldn't handle the task or adhere to a schedule.
