FAQs
It’s in your best interest to find someone you trust and feel comfortable with to help create your bridal look. We specialize in creating a look personal to each bride. No two brides are ever the same! Our team wants to know all about your vision, from the style of the gown to the venue décor, so we can help make it a reality.
Brides typically book anywhere from a few months to a year in advance. It’s not unusual for us to book over a year in advance. If you’re sure you’d like to reserve MKUP for your wedding day, we highly recommend you book as soon as possible.
You can easily book online by clicking here. A nonrefundable $100 retainer and a signed contract are required to reserve your wedding date. Without both, your date is not booked. A 50% deposit of the total cost is required once you have a head count. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding day.
A makeup trial takes 1.5 hours and will be at our studio in York, PA. We’ll try out makeup looks and discuss your wedding theme, gown, and hair accessories. Please have a moisturized face. Before and after pictures will be taken.
Airbrush vs Traditional Makeup
We feel strongly about providing the best and longest-lasting makeup services. The longevity of airbrush foundation far surpasses traditional foundation. Once it’s applied correctly, you can trust it’ll last from early morning to well past your reception.
There are many formulas and brands out there. We proudly use Temptu Silicone Base. After trying many brands, we found it to be the most natural looking, as it mimics the movement of the skin when smiling, laughing, and eating. If anyone has a sensitivity to silicone, we offer a water-based vegan line as well.
If you had a bad airbrush experience in the past, don’t let this scare you. Many artists use a different formula than us. Really, it comes down to the expertise and application skills of the individual artist. We have many techniques to apply airbrush makeup that are different from the traditional techniques.
Lead artist, Lauren’s gorgeous glam. Seamless lashes, full coverage radiant skin.. we’re so here for this look. So perfect for bridal ✨

Give us all the sultry, romantic makeup vibes 💋
With the popularity of Wuthering Heights and the influence it’s bound to have on the wedding industry, we loved bringing that romantic feel to Alex’s engagement shoot glam. Wearing her Mom’s dress was such a vibe, too.

“MKUP was a dream to work with for my wedding! I absolutely LOVED my wedding hair and makeup! Ivana has such a talent for doing makeup on various skin types and perfecting your dream look! My mom never wears makeup and Ivana made her natural beauty shine! Tiff did a fabulous job on my hair the day of with blending extensions for a half up style. If you’re considering hiring the MKUP team, do it!”

MU by Maggie
From glam waves to traditional curls to soft waves, you can’t go wrong!
Reminder- when searching for inspiration pictures it’s so beneficial to look for photos of hair that’s the same type as yours (color, texture, length etc) This will help you be able to envision the style best.
