“Maria's skill & attention to detail was impeccable”
It was a pleasure to have Maria as my bridal hair and makeup artist in Portugal. I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I met her, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Starting from my hair and makeup trial, she came all the way to my hotel room which made the process so easy! She took the time to understand my vision but also took inspiration from my dress & wedding colour scheme. We spent around 4 hours perfecting my hair & makeup and she was able to create the look that I exactly wanted. Maria’s skill & attention to detail was impeccable. She only uses high-quality products that felt light but still lasted all day. My makeup & hair looked natural and flawless in person and in photos. Not only is Maria incredibly talented, but she is also professional, punctual, fun & easy going.
Maria and her lovely assistant Tatiana pampered me, my bridesmaids, my mother and mother-in-law on the day of the wedding. We really had a blast getting ready We received countless compliments and we are incredibly grateful to Maria and Tatiana for making us look and feel so beautiful. I highly recommend Maria to any bride looking for a top-notch makeup artist and hair stylist in Portugal. Thank you again for your amazing work!

“I would recommend Maria a thousand times”
Maria was an absolute dream and truly the best hair and makeup artist I had throughout my wedding journey. Planning a wedding from the U.S. came with its challenges, and I leaned on my planner to recommend HMUAs I could connect with virtually. From the beginning, Maria made me feel truly heard, and that care and attention carried through to both my Welcome Party and Wedding Day.
Since I didn’t have a traditional trial, we used my Welcome Party as a test run, and Maria absolutely delivered. She is incredibly skilled with extensions, and knowing she could flawlessly create any style — whether up or down — gave me so much confidence. But what truly set her apart was her intuition. After the Welcome Party, she knew exactly how I was feeling about my look and made subtle adjustments on my wedding day without me even having to say a word.
My wedding morning was such a special, intimate time — it was just my mom, my sister, and me in the bridal suite, soaking in those precious moments together. Maria fit into our little trio so effortlessly, bringing the perfect energy: fun, calming, and just so full of love. She made me feel beautiful, confident, and completely myself, which is all I could have ever asked for on the most important day of my life. Maria’s not just insanely talented, she’s a beautiful soul, and any bride would be so lucky to have her by their side.

“Maria was the best! She's so sweet & easy to work with!”
Maria was the best! She’s so sweet & easy to work with. Having her there on my big day felt like I was just working with one of my friends and my hair & makeup turned out to be absolutely beautiful. She even stayed to help me get in my dress & do last minute touch ups before I walked down the aisle. I can’t recommend her enough!!
— Allie
“She created a stunningly beautiful and natural look for me”
I had the absolute pleasure of having Maria do my makeup and hairstyle for my wedding at Quinta de Conceicao, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we started planning, Maria was an invaluable advisor, offering thoughtful suggestions and guidance on my wedding style and choices. She was always available and responsive, making me feel supported every step of the way.
Maria is the epitome of professionalism — punctual, organized, and incredibly skilled. On the day of the wedding, she not only created a stunningly beautiful and natural look for me but also coordinated two other makeup stylists for my guests with seamless efficiency. Her tools and cosmetics were impeccably clean and of the highest quality, which added an extra layer of comfort and trust.
What truly impressed me was her ability to understand my vision and execute it flawlessly. Despite the heat, both my hair and makeup lasted all day and night, looking perfect in every photo. Maria's dedication and talent made me feel confident and radiant on my big day. I highly recommend Maria for any special occasion and look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

“Maria was an absolute dream to work with!”
Maria was an absolute dream to work with! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to get in touch with — responsive, flexible, and so kind throughout the entire process. On the big day, she brought such a calm and professional energy, which was exactly what I needed. She did a phenomenal job with both my hair and makeup — not only did I feel confident and beautiful, but everything held up perfectly all night long. I truly couldn't have asked for more. Maria and her team were amazing, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and lovely glam squad for their big day!

“Maria is the best person to hire for your wedding day — without a doubt!”
Maria is the best person to hire for your wedding day — without a doubt! She listens to your ideas, is incredibly calm and funny, and will make you look stunning! She made sure I felt comfortable with the look during the trial and was so helpful leading up to the wedding day. On the big day, Maria was so helpful, kind, and reassuring. She made my mom and my sister look beautiful and I truly felt more lovely than I ever have before! I received so many compliments on my hair and make up! I cannot recommend Maria enough — she really is the best.
— Mary
“I felt like a princess while she completed my beautiful glam”
Maria did such an amazing job to achieve my desired wedding hair and makeup!! Not only is she so naturally beautiful herself, she is caring and also makes you feel comfortable and calm throughout the whole process. I felt like a princess while she completed my beautiful glam. She is incredibly nice, personable, and knows exactly what she is doing; a true professional. She worked on myself, mother, and mother in law and we were all so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you Maria, from the bottom of my heart!!! ♥️♥️♥️

“I've never felt more confident or beautiful in my life”
I cannot recommend Maria highly enough! From the moment I sat in her chair, I knew I was in the hands of a true professional. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and created a look that was even better than I imagined. The makeup was flawless, enhancing my features in the most natural and beautiful way. My hair was styled to perfection and not only did the makeup last all day, but it looked as fresh at the end of the evening as it did when I first put it on. I’ve never felt more confident or beautiful in my life. Maria truly made me feel like the best version of myself!

“Maria did a fantastic job with my makeup and hair for my wedding”
Maria did a fantastic job with my makeup and hair for my wedding — literally elevated my natural beauty and made me feel as good as I looked! She was easy to work with and loved talking skin care for pre-wedding prep with her! She truly knows her stuff and could not recommend her more for anyone looking to enhance their natural beauty for their wedding or special event.
— Abbey
“She is the absolute sweetest lady and does a phenomenal job”
If you’re needing your hair or makeup done, Maria is the person to go to!! She is the absolute sweetest lady and does a phenomenal job. I never do my own makeup so I knew I didn’t want something that would look too crazy for me and she did just the right amount and made me feel so beautiful on the day of my wedding. We weren’t able to do a trial run for hair/makeup due to distance but she nailed it perfectly even without seeing me beforehand!
— Trinity
“She made my vision come to life — definitely recommend her”
Maria was an amazing makeup and hair artist for the day of my wedding. She was able to do multiple people in a short amount of time. She made everyone look beautiful and was very calm even with everyone in my family being around us. She made my vision come to life, would definitely recommend her!
— Margarida
“I knew I wouldn't have to worry about my hair and makeup”
Maria was the best makeup and hair artist I could have asked for at my wedding. At the trial, she took my inspiration pictures and translated them perfectly to match my complexion and skin type. She gave me advice on how to improve my skin before my wedding, which made a huge difference. She was so helpful and patient. I felt totally at ease on my wedding day and knew I wouldn't have to worry about my hair and makeup. She also did 5 of my guests' makeup and hair (including my groomsmen) all of them looked beautiful. We all got so many compliments. I would recommend her to anybody!
— Stacey
“Maria was PERFECT! The soothing energy I needed on my wedding day”
Maria was PERFECT! The soothing energy I needed on my wedding day. She made me look stunning (so many compliments!). Hair and makeup — amazing. She also stayed for the day to take lots of iPhone video and photo content for me (a side request I had for her which she took on!). So I had tons of gorgeous content to look over the next day.
I’d done a trial with her as well for the hair and makeup — she took on the feedback and achieved exactly what I envisioned (despite my very fine hair which really struggled to hold a curl). She’s a perfectionist which is exactly what you need on your wedding day. Thank you!!
— Brid
“Maria did AMAZING and I felt so so so beautiful!”
Maria was an absolute dream to work with! I was a bit nervous initially especially with having Asian, hooded eyes, but she did AMAZING and I felt so so so beautiful. Maria was so attentive to detail and was with me every step of the day — from retouching my makeup due to the hot weather to retouching up my hair. I couldn’t have imagined my day without her! 🥰
