Makiaj Beauty was started in 2009 with Pooja Mehta at the helm. Pooja brought her French training (Ooh la la!) from the renowned Beauty & Fashion School, J.P Fleurimon in Paris, France, to the desert of Phoenix and into the heart of Scottsdale, Arizona.
Makiaj Beauty quickly grew, having been recognized internationally for their work, and now has a tribe (Oh hey!) of several amazing artists. Beyond being best in the business, highly-educated, and with over 50 years of experience combined, Makiaj Beauty is as versatile as the women we serve.

let's get this started!
Born and raised in El Paso, Texas, my heart now lies in good ol' Arizona. 9 years of cactus loving, coffee drinking and makeup collecting! My journey started off in Texas after completing Cosmetology School, fast forward 6 years later I was invited to a Fashion Show where I met my Hair and Makeup bestie, Pooja. We have been inseparable ever since! It is so special to me that I am able to work alongside my bestest and do what I love all the while making a woman feel and look her best!

Hi! My name is Sandy Aguilar, I am hair and makeup artist From Yuma Az.I came to Scottsdale looking for a new adventure in my life and was blessed to have found that in beauty. As a passionate cosmetologist, I have fallen in love with making people happy. I have 6 years experience in makeup and in those 6 years it has never felt like a job! I always prioritize the experience I give my brides and clients, making them feel like a better version of themselves while feeling confident and beautiful! If I'm not traveling or working you'll find me on the couch watching my favorite Netflix movies (the more hopelessly romantic, the better!) with some coffee. Just like my favorite movie genre, there's nothing I love more than making my brides feel their best on such a special day. I cannot wait to meet you all!!

Born in the country of double double addictions and raised in the D, I’ve come running to Arizona to make it my new home! It’s safe to say I was one of the very few who didn’t have an interest in makeup as a young kid, but it eventually happened when I was once a 20 year old; who had no idea how to apply makeup. While picking up makeup artistry and trying to finish my undergraduate degree, I was able to gain this experience by my Southeast Asian clients. Since then, this journey has taken me on a roller coaster ride to finding how to make not only ethnic women feel their best but all colors. The opportunity of making women feel empowered, comfortable and beautiful in their own skin is a feeling I wouldn’t trade for the world. I strive to make this a moment for every women and that’s by starting with Makiaj Beauty.

anissa
I was born and raised in New Mexico, The Land of Enchantment! My love for beauty began at the age of three when I used to ruin my mom’s favorite lipsticks and paint my daddy‘s toenails. My passion for hair and makeup grew while on my high school dance team. I glammed up my teammates for competitions, proms, and weddings. After graduating high school I moved to Arizona to pursue my career in the beauty industry. I am now a Professional MUA/Esthetician. It is an honor to be a part of The Makiaj Beauty Team. I look forward to meeting new clients and amplifying true beauty with my special/magical touch! ✨

Brought to life by the amazing team of Bloom + Blueprint, this modern South Asian wedding was shot by Jane in the Woods in Sedona, AZ. The pops of teal and vibrant colors highlight the beautiful culture and surroundings. We paired the design with natural-bronzed makeup and bright pink lipstick that has this bride looking fresh and fierce!

Domenica Domenica is luxury clothing label offering the most gorgeous mix of robes for brides.
To highlight their collection, we gave the model a clean, simple hairstyle with classic makeup. Against the rough, textured brick, her bold red lips stand out (just like the robes do!)

You know that saying "a match made in heaven?"
That's how we felt when uber-talented photographer Ashley Rae captured the vision of bridal bombshell Ashley Preach.
Ashley P. is one of our many memorable bridal babes! Ashley herself envisioned a fresh and natural bridal look to compliment the organic elements in her spring-themed wedding. We gave her our signature skin-focused bridal glam, with a pop of earthy coral and peach tones to brighten her kissable lips. Her hair emulated the cool spring breeze in this whimsical and effortless side swept textured up-do. Congrats again, Ashley + Regan!

There is something about a pregnancy glow that you can't fake. This maternity shoot has been one of our favorites that we were able to partake in. To highlight this shoot we gave these beautiful mothers a bronzed effortless look. It was so important for us to bring their internal glow to life. Thanks to Brianna Anderson we were able to make this vision come to life with her creativity.

A semi-permanent two step process where we create hairlike strokes with a small blade. While numbing is taking place we go over different colors best suited for your skin tone, taking into account your natural brow and hair color. Microblading is best suited for people who want a more natural looking brow that lasts longer than everyday products. Say hello to your new browbies!
