Beauty Background : I've been in the beauty industry for 7 years. I started as a beauty specialist and makeup artist at Sephora.

I now work as a full time hair and makeup artist. 

Highlight of my career : Working as a key makeup artist for the New Zealand bridal boutique, Rue De Seine, at their NY Bridal Fashion Week show in April.

Current favorite bridal beauty trends : Glowy skin and peachy cheeks!

Top three products/tools I can’t live without : Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, ABH Dewy Set Setting Spray, My 1 1/2 inch curler

Guilty pleasures : Splurging at Sephora buying things for myself when I'm supposed to only be getting stuff for my kit lol & The amount of time I spend on Pinterest looking at interior design. 

ABOUT

I used Samia back in 2021 for my engagement session because she did a phenomenal job - needless to say, she out did herself AGAIN! She also showed her amazing skills with working with my bridal party - I had a diverse group of ladies in my bridal party and she knew exactly what to do and how to work with different skin tones - something that is truly admired in a makeup artist! Plus her amazing energy and vibes for my wedding day was amazing, she truly made me feel so beautiful - something EVERY bride should feel on their special day! I will be using her for any other professional makeup I need! So please, look no further!!”

Samia was very sweet, professional and knowledgeable. She does make up with a passion, and cares about the client’s skin as well. It was a pleasure to have her do my make up! I felt safe and secure, and in expert hands! Will definitely recommend!” 


“Awesome experience!

I found Samia by chance during the final month before I got married, and I'm so happy that I did! Not only is she an incredibly talented artist, but her professionalism is above and beyond. She uses top quality makeup, primer and tools to create all of her looks, and she has been incredibly responsive and flexible throughout this entire experience, both with me and my bridal party. Not to mention my makeup did NOT MOVE the entire night through dinner, dancing and greeting inside of a packed venue. I cannot recommend Samia highly enough!” 


“AMAZING makeup artist!

xoxo DANIELLE

Cannot begin to explain the amazing experience I had with Samia! I booked her for my engagement session and I am NOT a makeup person. She made me feel comfortable, executed what I wanted to look like and boosted my confidence! She truly knows what she’s doing and keeps you in the process the whole time. I will be using her for my wedding!!!!” 


“Samia is amazing!
