"I am so glad I invested in Markeisha! She truly was amazing from inquiry til she packed her kit. I loved that she listened to me and helped calm me when I couldn't express what I wanted or needed."
Brittany

The process

Simple as one, two, three.

From your first inquiry to your last touch-up, here's what working together actually looks like.

01

Reserve

A short conversation about your date, your vision, and how you want to feel on your wedding day. Once your package is confirmed, your date is officially yours.

02

Refine

An optional bridal preview, booked separately, where we build your look together ahead of the wedding. We assess your skin, make thoughtful adjustments, and refine the details until it feels unmistakably you.

03

Relax

On the wedding day, you don't have to think about the details. Your beauty plan is already in place, and I handle the rest — so you can settle in, be present, and enjoy your morning.

Bridal packages

 

Signature

The essential bridal experience

$500

For the bride who wants expert, skin-first artistry without the fuss. On your wedding day, your complexion is cleansed, prepped, sculpted, and finished to hold through photos, tears, and dancing, with a signature lash and a soft glow across your shoulders and décolleté. You leave with a small touch-up kit, just in case, and one less thing to think about. Want to test your look ahead of time? Previews are available as a separate booking.

Luxe

The elevated bridal experience

$1,100

Everything in Signature, plus the space to slow down. It starts with a consultation, virtual or by phone, to talk through your vision and what your day will look like. Skin prep is extended — lymphatic massage, sculpting, and layers of hydration — so your complexion holds its glow long after the ceremony. Markeisha stays for three hours on the day, coordinating with your planner or photographer and on hand for touch-ups or a full second look before the reception. Travel is complimentary,* because the ease should start before you even sit down in the chair.

Premium

The complete bridal journey

$1,500

Everything in Luxe, for the bride who wants nothing left to chance. Priority booking and a personalized consultation secure your vision early, and rehearsal dinner makeup means you're camera-ready before the wedding even begins. Skin and lip treatment masks are layered into your prep, so your complexion photographs just as beautifully hours later. A mini beauty concierge keeps you covered through the day's key moments, and you leave with a premium touch-up kit built for a full day of celebration.

"I got married on the beach in Laguna and my biggest fear was my makeup melting or looking heavy in the sun. I hate wearing makeup. Markeisha delivered — my skin looked like my skin, just smoother and glowier, even with the humidity."

"My wedding was outdoors by the ocean, so I needed someone who really understood how makeup performs in natural light, wind, and humidity. My skin looked flawless at golden hour."

Frequently asked questions

Most brides book 6–12 months in advance to secure their date. Here's what to know before you inquire.

Is there a minimum?
Monday through Thursday: no minimums. Friday through Sunday: a total booking minimum of 3 people or $1,000.
How do I secure my date?
A non-refundable, non-transferable 30% retainer is required along with a signed contract.
How far in advance should I book?
It's always best to secure your date early. Most brides reserve their date 12–18 months in advance to ensure availability, especially for peak seasons.
Are you available for travel?
Yes. If you're a destination bride, ask about destination packages.
I already love your work — do I need a preview?
A preview isn't required, but it's recommended. It gives us the chance to perfect your look in advance so you feel confident and at ease on your wedding day. Previews are booked separately, à la carte — I suggest scheduling yours 3–4 months before your wedding.
What's your cancellation policy?
All retainers are non-refundable and non-transferable. Cancellations made less than 30 days prior to the event result in the full balance being due, under all circumstances, including illness or acts of God. Late arrivals of more than 30 minutes incur a $50 fee due before services are rendered; arrivals beyond 30 minutes may not be serviced, though payment in full is still required.
Do you stay for touch-ups?
A complimentary touch-up is included at the end of your application. For continued support throughout the day, I offer a concierge service — on-site availability for touch-ups, look changes, and a calm, effortless experience from ceremony to reception.
I'm eloping or having a courthouse wedding — do I still need a package?
No, you can book makeup à la carte. Please refer to the minimums above to see if they apply to your date.
Do you offer bridal trials?
I don't offer trials in the traditional sense, but previews are available as a separate, à la carte booking — schedule one anytime once your wedding date is secured.
"I wasn't super convinced about having a makeup artist for my wedding day, as I don't like to wear much makeup — but Markeisha enhances your natural beauty, which is exactly what I wanted."
