About

Makeup should always be about accentuating the natural beauty of every client. Not about masking it! Together we will explore the endless possibilities that makeup has to offer. Can't wait to bring your dream looks to life. My mission is to enhance each individual's natural beauty. Bringing out the best features in everyone who sits in my chair.

With experience in makeup application ranging from weddings to evening, photo shoots to makeup education and production. My goal is not only to make each client feel beautiful but to educate them as well. I have learned that the one cardinal rule we all live by as women is that we want to look timeless, elegant, and beautiful. It is this rule that drives my signature makeup application. Offering classic looks with a modern twist that never go out of style. Recently published in the 2020 Edition of Mariage Québec.

Natural beauty

I met Mary for my friend’s wedding, and if ever I get married, I will be sure to hire her!
She understood what I wanted right away and made me feel beautiful and absolutely ME! Natural make up that made me glow. She was efficient, on time, and a great time all around! I felt beautiful and so at ease the whole time! Highly recommend! she’s an absolute legend.

thanks Mary!!!

Sam and Marc - August 1st 2026

I cannot recommend Mary enough! She absolutely nailed the vision I had for the day. Every single one of us looked stunning while still looking like ourselves—our makeup was so natural, fresh, and beautifully enhanced. She listened to exactly what I wanted and brought it to life perfectly.

Beyond her incredible talent, she was such a joy to have around. Her positive, calming energy was contagious, and everyone commented on how wonderful she was to be around. She worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, helping everything run smoothly and making the morning feel relaxed and fun.

If you're looking for someone who is not only exceptionally talented but also brings amazing energy and professionalism to your special day, look no further. I'm so grateful she was part of ours!

Glam au naturel

Je recommande fortement Mary pour son maquillage. Je ne me maquille pas beaucoup mais je voulais pour jour de mon mariage avoir tout de même un maquillage glam. J’avais l’impression d’être au plus beau de moi même sans aucunement être dénaturée. Merci énormément pour encore !

The BEST there is

Can’t say enough good things about her! Mary is seriously THE BEST. I researched extensively before picking her and the reviews were bang on. Very responsive, squeezed me in for a trial despite her vacation plans, and did amazing work. I got so many compliments on my makeup, as did MOB, MOG, and bridesmaids. Not only that, she cares deeply about her brides and does everything she can to make sure they’re happy!

Testaments to how much she cares:
1) At the trial, she asked what makeup style I’d envisioned for my bridesmaids (I said natural). I learned this week that on wedding day, one of the ladies asked her for blue eye shadow. Having remembered what I’d asked for, she kindly but firmly said no because she needed to honour what her bride asked for. I didn’t even catch this happening, but was so touched when I learned of it.

2) Mary is also very respectful of clients’ preferences RE: whether they’re comfortable being on her social media pages. I personally was fine with it, but she made a point of asking + made it clear there was absolutely no obligation. In my experiences, a lot of vendors don’t even ask! Some even stipulate in their contract that you must agree to be on their social media pages. A true testament to how much she cares.

All in all, I would absolutely recommend Mary—1000x over! You will be so glad you chose her ❤️

The absolute BEST make up artist!

I truly had the most amazing experience with Mary as my make up artist for my wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented with make up, but she is so kind and patient and flexible with handling so many different people and personalities in a room.

As someone who never wears make up, she made me feel so comfortable and I trusted her completely to make me look not only my best, but also looking like myself for the biggest day of my life. I have never felt so amazing as I did on that day and I really have to thank Mary so much for being such a big part of that.

Hire her. She’s the absolute best.

10/10 experience!

I had such a wonderful experience! I was part of a friend's wedding, and from the moment I sat in the chair, I felt completely at ease. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also so kind, funny, and made the whole morning such a fun and relaxing experience.

Her knowledge of makeup is amazing—she really knows what works for different skin types, features, and styles. She listened to exactly what I wanted and created a look that felt like the best version of me. My makeup stayed flawless all day and night!

I couldn't recommend her more highly. If you're looking for someone who is both exceptionally skilled and an absolute joy to be around, she's the one!

The Greatest of All Time MUA

Mary was absolutely incredible. Not only did she do my make up for my wedding and for my bridal shower AND make me feel absolutely gorgeous, she also made my mom and my bridesmaids feel amazing too. Do yourself a favour and hire her. She listens to exactly what you want and knows exactly how to make your natural beauty shine. I will absolutely be going back to her for all my events as she is not only incredible at what she does, she is also an amazing human being. Thank you for everything, Mary!

Incredible

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mary did my makeup for my sister’s wedding and she was absolutely incredible. I was honestly nervous because I’m usually very particular and often worried when someone else does my makeup, but she completely exceeded my expectations. It was flawless, lasted all night, and made me feel so glamorous and confident. Her recommendations were spot on and she really understood what would suit me best. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Do yourself a favor, hire Mary

Mary made our beautiful wedding day come to life. She provided an excellent and professional makeup service for my bridal party (4 people + the bride). Not only does she give a great professional service, she personalizes and tailors it to the needs of the people she works with. Organizing with her felt like a breeze. She was easy to contact and very responsive. The day of the wedding, she came all the way to Beloeil (45 mins outside of Mtl) to do our makeup, was there on time and ready to rumble. In terms of the quality of the makeup, her look held for 16hours during a 27 degrees October day! All the women in the bridal party got compliments on their looks. I cannot emphasize how great working with Mary was. Everything went seamlessly.

Fantastic make up lesson with Mary

I am getting married at my remote family cottage and unfortunately will not be able to bring in any vendors, so I reached out to Mary with a request to do a makeup lesson where we could work on a bridal look together that I could recreate myself for my wedding. It was a great collaborative experience where she worked with makeup I already have while recommending a few new products that would add to my look. We filmed little segments while she gave clear instructions that I will be able to look back on the day. Highly recommend for any brides doing destination weddings or anyone just looking to learn a bit more about makeup. Loved the natural look we put together, felt elevated but still 100% me.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
