Let’s bring your bridal vision to life.
Makeup is more than just a beauty routine for me. It is an art form and a way to express creativity. My love for makeup began with a desire to enhance natural beauty and help others feel confident in their own skin. Over time, that love evolved into a deep passion for bridal makeup, where I have the honor of being part of one of the most special and meaningful days in my bride's life.
Bridal makeup holds a unique place in my heart. It's about creating a soft, timeless, and flawless look that reflects each bride’s personality and makes her feel like the best version of herself. I specialize in soft neutral, romantic and timeless glam that enhances features without overpowering them.
I focus heavily on details because I want to perfect my craft. Every face is different, and I take the time to understand skin tones, face shapes, and personal preferences to create a look that feels both elevated and effortless.
Doing makeup is not just what I do. It is a part of who I am. It brings me joy to transform a vision into reality and to help every client feel beautiful, polished, and unforgettable.
With over seven years of professional experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, skin tones, textures and face shapes. I’ve refined my techniques through countless bridal and parties, special events, and photoshoot. Whether I’m creating a clean soft glam or something more dramatic, I approach every face with intention, precision, and care.
I understand the importance of long wearing, camera ready makeup, especially for brides. My goal is to create looks that not only feel lightweight and comfortable in person, but also photograph beautifully from every angle and under every light.
I offer luxury on-location makeup services for brides and clients seeking elevated, soft glam for their most important moments. Whether it’s your wedding day, engagement shoot, bridal shower, or any special occasion, my goal is to create a flawless, long-lasting look that enhances your natural beauty while still feeling like you.
Each bridal service includes a skin prep guide tailored to your skin type, a personalized makeup application designed to photograph beautifully, and high quality, professional products to ensure a seamless finish from start to finish.

I take pride in offering a calm, detail oriented, and professional experience from the moment we connect to the final setting spray.
Please reach us at makeupbylaylam@outlook.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes! I am happy to travel out-of-state for a wedding if my travel is covered (round trip flight, 1- to 2-night hotel stay, any transportation including to and from venue, etc). I do prefer to arrive the day before the wedding, as opposed to the day of.
Ideally you should book at least 6-12 months before your wedding day. Especially if you're getting married peak wedding season. This ensures I'm available.
Yes, I offer makeup trial sessions! A trial can be booked once you've secured your bridal booking with me. I highly recommend scheduling your trial at least 2-3 months prior to your wedding. This allows us plenty of time to perfect your look and make adjustments as needed. The trial can also be used for any other special events leading up to the wedding, such as your bridal shower, engagement session, or other milestone moments. I suggest booking your trial well in advance because skin can change with the seasons, and makeup trends evolve. This ensures we have enough time to tailor your makeup to your skin’s needs and the latest styles, so you feel confident and beautiful on your wedding day.
Choosing the right makeup look is a collaborative process, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way! During our consultation or trial session, I’ll work closely with you to understand your personal style, preferences, and the overall vibe of your event. I’ll also consider your skin tone, texture, and features to create a look that enhances your natural beauty and makes you feel confident. We’ll discuss your vision for the day — whether you’re looking for something bold and dramatic or soft and natural — and I’ll suggest options that complement your look and personality. You’ll have the opportunity to see and adjust the look during the trial, ensuring we achieve the perfect result. Ultimately, my goal is to create a makeup look that not only suits you but also makes you feel amazing and matches the theme of your special occasion.
To ensure we get the best results, please come to your makeup appointment with a clean, makeup-free face. This includes having clean brows, as this helps us start fresh and gives me a clear canvas to work with. If you have any inspiration photos or specific looks in mind, please bring them along! This will help me understand your vision and ensure we create a makeup look that matches your style and preferences.
First and foremost, please avoid picking at or squeezing any pimples before your appointment. Picking can irritate the skin, cause redness, and make the blemish harder to cover. Rest assured, I’ll use high-quality products designed to cover any imperfections and create a smooth, flawless finish for your makeup. Additionally, I recommend avoiding new skincare products or treatments right before your appointment, as these can sometimes cause irritation or breakouts. Stick to your usual skincare routine in the days leading up to the appointment to keep your skin balanced.
No, I do not do hair. I only offer makeup services.
Please complete my inquiry form and provide all requested details, including date, time, location, and number of people needing makeup.
As long as I’m available for your date, I’ll send over my contract for you to sign and information to pay the deposit. Once those items are completed, the date is reserved for you!
Your trial will allow you to preview your desired look, ensuring satisfaction and confidence on your special day! I only do trials for my booked brides and recommend scheduling the trial 2-3 months before wedding day. You'll receive your Bridal Trial Prep Guide a week prior to ensure that you're fully prepared for your makeup application.
About 2-4 weeks before your wedding, I’ll reach out to check in with you and confirm all the details for your big day.
Your wedding is here! I’ll show up promptly to your getting-ready location, and then all you have to do is sit back and relax while I create your dream look.
I specialize in soft, timeless, romantic, and dramatic glam looks. Soft glam consists of moderate layers of makeup to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining elegance and sophistication. I don't focus on a completely natural or “no-makeup” look.
If you're inspired by ultra-minimal makeup styles like Sofia Richie or Hailey Bieber, I may not be the right artist for you. My approach is best suited for clients who love wearing makeup and want to feel confidently polished for their special day.
