If you’re trying to decide on a makeup artist for your wedding, this is your sign to hire The Impossible Beauty! Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with and made me feel so beautiful for my wedding. She is truly an artist! I did not have a specific idea in mind for what I wanted (I didn’t even have a reference picture!) and was worried that my requests were too vague, but she took my general description of what I liked and ran with it. I showed her a picture of my lavender dress and told her that I wanted something whimsical with a half-up half-down hairstyle. I also handed her a box of traditional Panamanian hair combs and asked if she could try to incorporate it into my hairstyle. She took those vague requests and made me look and feel like a fairy princess! She also made me feel so at ease while working on my hair and makeup. I had been really nervous about getting my hair and makeup done (since I’ve never had it done professionally before) but Michelle made me feel so relaxed throughout the whole process. A super common question I got from guests throughout the night was “who did your hair and makeup?!” I have been recommending Michelle to everyone I know because she is just so fantastic and talented!

First of all if the magic what she is, start with the facts: extremely responsive, was here in time ( even a bit earlier), extremly professional and her talent leaves no doubts at all. So do you know that last nerves, worrying about everything, being in the edge??!! Well , I don’t…..this lady made me feel so relaxed with her kindness and chatting the time away, that I totally forgot to be a bridzilla! I spent my time getting ready in an amazing calm atmosphere, enjoying every last minute! She was so kind words can’t describe, she followed every suggestion and idea and made my dreams come true! Michelle, you are simply amazing and thank you for being a huge part of my big day!

Michelle is awesome! She was a joy to work with and she did an amazing job on my hair (I’m still obsessed 😍) . She was on time, very responsive, and was flexible when we had to change our date due to the fires! I highly recommend working with her for your event needs!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices start at $95 for just eye makeup application and go to $350 for both hair styling and full makeup services. I do have some a la cart options. I also have a travel fee depending on the area.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to do a consultation and trial run with a client 1-2 months before the event so that we can both be on the same page in creating a look that the client loves!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got started with makeup and hair as a competitive cheerleader in HS and fell in love hard! I progressed on to events like dances for all of my friends. Then I transitioned in to theater and stage makeup where I leaned the art of special effect makeup. I continued doing makeup for people causally until a lady whom hired me for then 3rd time to do her makeup and hair for a fitness show said to me, “how is this NOT a business for you?!” So I told her she was absolutely right and The Impossible Beauty was born!
