Samantha Feld Holmes Hair and Makeup

What sets me apart as a makeup artist and hairstylist is my editorial background and creative vision, honed through years of working with renowned publications and designers. Here’s how that translates into my work:

1. Custom-Tailored Artistry: I approach every bride or client as a unique canvas, ensuring their look is not just beautiful, but entirely personalized. My goal is to craft a style that reflects their personality, rather than just following trends.
2. Editorial Expertise: Having worked in high-pressure, fast-paced environments, I know how to create looks that photograph beautifully while standing the test of time. From runway-ready boldness to soft bridal elegance, I bring editorial precision to every detail.
3. Visionary Creations: My work isn’t just about making someone look good—it’s about telling a story through hair and makeup. Whether on the set of a fashion shoot or in the moments before a wedding, I combine artistry with technique to elevate each look to something extraordinary.
4. Calm & Professionalism: On a wedding day, emotions can run high, and I pride myself on being a calming, reassuring presence. My goal is to ensure my clients feel pampered, confident, and at ease, while delivering stunning results.

Making people look good is an art, but helping them feel good is what truly sets the experience apart. Here’s how I approach both:

1. Listening and Understanding:

• I start by getting to know my clients—their preferences, insecurities, and vision for their look. Listening carefully helps me craft a style that reflects their personality and makes them feel authentically themselves.

2. Personalized Approach:

• No two clients are the same. I tailor every makeup and hairstyle to enhance their unique features. Whether it's playing up their eyes, creating the perfect complexion, or crafting a hairstyle that frames their face just right, my goal is to highlight what makes them feel most confident.

3. Comfort and Confidence:

• Beyond just the final look, I create an experience where clients feel pampered and relaxed. From the moment they sit in my chair, it’s about creating a calm environment. This boosts confidence and ensures they not only look their best but feel amazing from the inside out.

4. Empowering Through Beauty:

• Beauty is not about transformation, but enhancement. I focus on bringing out my clients’ natural beauty so that when they look in the mirror, they see themselves—just the most radiant, empowered version.

5. Positive Energy:

• I bring warmth, positivity, and professionalism into every session. When clients feel cared for and supported, it shows in their confidence, and that’s what truly makes them shine.

Looking good is great, but feeling good? That’s where the magic happens!

Editorial hair and makeup bring a level of artistry, attention to detail, and creative direction that ensures each look is not only beautiful but also timeless and unique. Just like in a fashion shoot, an editorial approach to bridal styling ensures every element is cohesive and elevated—perfectly tailored to the bride’s vision.

Editorial skills also allow a makeup artist or hairstylist to think outside the box, blending trends with personal touches, ensuring that brides don’t just look like themselves, but the best version of themselves on their most important day.
