"I had high expectations for my wedding makeup and Sam exceeded every one of them"
"As a wedding planner and makeup enthusiast, I had high expectations for my wedding makeup and Sam exceeded every one of them. She took the time to truly understand me, my preferences, and even incorporated my everyday comfort products, which made me feel completely at ease.
Having Sam with me throughout my wedding journey - from my bridal shower to the entire wedding weekend - was incredibly special.
On the morning itself, her calm presence and expertise made me feel like the very best version of myself, with flawless, glowing makeup that lasted all day. I couldn’t recommend Sam more highly and can’t wait to work with her again!"

The makeup you created felt unmistakably like me - just elevated in the most glamorous, refined way. I couldn’t have wished for a more thoughtful or wonderful experience!”

"SAM WAS WONDERFUL!"
"Samantha did mine and my family’s makeup for my 4 day wedding of events in Lake Como and she was wonderful! She showed up early and prepared with everything she needed every single day. She is very kind, talented and has a calm presence about her which is very important with the stress of multiple destination events!"
FREYA
"MY MAKEUP LOOKED FLAWLESS"
"Choosing Sam as my makeup artist was just as important as choosing my wedding dress. Her work is elegant, beautifully applied and always true to the person wearing it - polished yet completely natural. My makeup looked flawless, never heavy and lasted seamlessly from day to night, with so many compliments throughout.
From our first conversations to the trial and the wedding day itself, I felt completely supported and in the safest hands. Sam’s attention to detail, thoughtful approach and genuine warmth put both me and my bridal party at ease and I’ll always remember not just how beautiful I looked, but how calm and confident I felt."
