Your Destination for Special Event & Bridal Glam
Elevating your look in my Glendale studio or on-location throughout the Phoenix Metro area.
About Sabina
Hi, I'm Sabina.
I've been doing makeup since 2009, long before ring lights and viral GRWMs. I'm a self-taught artist who went on to refine my skills at MAC Cosmetics, where I spent years working with every skin tone, age, and comfort level you can imagine.
Today, I'm a freelance makeup artist based in Glendale, AZ, serving Glendale, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the greater Phoenix area. I work part-time on weekends with some weekday flexibility, because yes, I'm also a single mom and an elder millennial living real life between weddings, events, and iced coffee runs.
Whether you're walking down the aisle, stepping in front of a camera, or just wanting to finally understand what to do with your makeup over 40, my job is simple: help you feel like the most confident version of yourself, not a stranger in the mirror.
How I Work With You
Makeup is never "one size fits all," and I'm not here to cookie-cutter your face.
- I listen first, your comfort level, your photos, what you absolutely love and what you're terrified of.
- I balance what photographs well with what actually feels good on your skin, especially for mature skin and all-day events.
- I'm big on skin prep, strategic coverage, and placement that respects your features instead of hiding them.
Think: you, but elevated, with makeup that looks good in person and in photos.

Service 2: Special Event Makeup
For parties, proms, date nights, and everything in between. Soft glam to full glam, depending on your comfort level.
Service 3: Photoshoot & Creative Looks
