Bridal and Editorial Makeup Artistry Rooted in Florence

Hassan did my trial six weeks before the wedding and adjusted the look based on my dress fabric swatch I brought. On the day, the makeup held through tears at the ceremony and hours of dancing at Villa Le Corti. It looked like me, just sharper.

We booked the studio for an editorial shoot for a fashion magazine spread and needed three different looks in one afternoon. Each transition was fast and the skin work photographed clean under hard studio lights, no shine issues at all.

I flew in from Madrid for my Florence elopement and was nervous about finding someone reliable long distance. Hassan replied to my messages quickly, understood my reference photos, and the final look matched what I'd imagined for the ceremony at Palazzo Vecchio.

Our agency hired the studio for a lookbook shoot with five models back to back. Every look stayed consistent with the mood board and touch-ups between outfit changes were quick, which kept the whole shoot on schedule.

My daughter's confirmation photos needed something soft, not overdone. Hassan listened to what we wanted and kept it age-appropriate while still looking polished in the pictures we now have framed at home.

I run a small bridal boutique and now recommend Hassan to nearly every client asking about makeup artists. The trial sessions are unhurried and brides come back telling me exactly how good the final look held up all night.
