MAGGIE S

Maggie grew up with a paintbrush in her hand. Originally from Chicago, she came to makeup artistry through a genuine love of painting and drawing, the kind of foundation that shows up in how she works, how she sees a face, how she approaches color and precision. The canvas just changed.

She's been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. Her career started with freelance work in bridal, short films, and special effects makeup before she spent eight years with MAC Cosmetics, where she developed the technical depth that defines her work today. Eight years at MAC means an education that most artists don't get: thousands of clients, every skin tone, every skin type, every age, every concern. That experience is why she's known for working with a diverse range of people and making it look effortless.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then creates. Every look she does is built around the individual in the chair, their features, their preferences, their comfort level. She's not imposing a signature aesthetic. She's figuring out what the best version of this particular person looks like, and then doing that.

When she's not working, Maggie hikes, paddle boards, does Pilates, and spends quality time with her cat, B.B. The outdoor-active-cat-owner energy is very consistent with someone who approaches everything with that same mix of precision and ease.
