Hi, I’m Marissa a makeup and hair artist based in Reno, Nevada, serving the Lake Tahoe area and beyond.
I’ve been doing makeup and hair for over 15 years, and focusing on bridal since 2019. My journey started back in high school, when I first fell in love with the way makeup could transform not just how someone looks, but how they feel. That passion eventually led me to Toronto, where I studied makeup/hair-styling professionally and built a strong foundation in artistry and technique. I went on to work for MAC Cosmetics for 6 years, and slowly made my way into the bridal space.
After working with a well-known bridal team in Reno, I decided to branch out on my own to offer a more personalized, one-on-one experience. I value connection, and I want every client to feel taken care of, comfortable, and confident from the first message to the final touch-up.
When I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with friends or exploring new places. I bring that same sense of ease and curiosity into each appointment, aiming to make every client feel like the best version of themselves.
I look forward to meeting you, and making you feel beautiful!
xoxo Marissa
My approach to makeup is all about enhancing natural features with a clean, fresh finish. I believe makeup should never feel heavy or overdone—just a polished version of your best self. I'm known for creating soft, radiant looks that let the skin breathe, specializing in effortless beauty that still makes an impact. Whether you're after a barely-there glow or full glam for a big event, I know how to strike the perfect balance between natural and elevated.
