Maggie got married in Playa Tamarindo in January. Even though January is our dry season (meaning no rain), it was still very hot! Well into the 90's.
We met the day prior to the wedding for her trial session. She was very clear on her vision and was great at articulating exactly how she envisioned her wedding day look. She's a wedding photographer and so she understood really well how makeup translates on photos. Even if she wanted a super natural barely there look in person, that would still mean a little extra in person.
On wedding, we nailed it! Look at this beautiful bride!!
Maggie left the following 5-star review for our work together on Google:
"Tricia from Maravilla Make-Up was absolutely exceptional, and I am so grateful she was part of our wedding day. From the start, she was communicative, organized, and so easy to work with!
At my trial, Tricia really took the time to understand how I normally wear my makeup and how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. She asked thoughtful questions, explained her product choices, and made subtle adjustments until everything felt completely “me”, just elevated. I left my trial feeling confident and excited, which is exactly how you want to feel.
On the wedding day, she brought the same calming, steady presence. The getting-ready space felt relaxed and joyful, and Tricia played such a big role in that energy. My makeup looked flawless in person and in photos, and it held beautifully through happy tears, hugs, heat, and hours of dancing. I never once felt like I needed touch-ups beyond what’s normal.
Beyond just my experience, every single friend and family member who sat in her chair felt beautiful and well taken care of. She enhanced everyone’s natural features without making anyone feel overdone or unlike themselves, which is such a talent.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is professional, talented, calming, and deeply attentive to detail, Tricia is someone you absolutely want on your wedding day team."
Thank you Maggie for entrusting me on your wedding day!
