With nearly 400 weddings to date, Gabby is known for her soft glam aesthetic, flawless skin work, and calming, detail-driven approach that brings ease and elegance to every wedding morning.
Favorite Makeup product: MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation — the holy grail for creating a seamless, photo-ready complexion.

Favorite beauty hack: Bronzer in the crease — the quickest way to create definition and warmth with minimal effort.
From the artist: “Makeup should never mask who you are. It’s about amplifying what already makes you beautiful—and honoring the moments you want to remember forever.”

Testimonials
- "I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and my hair and makeup lasted perfectly through dancing and happy tears. All of my bridesmaids looked stunning and loved their hair and makeup too...the entire team were calming, kind, and unbelievably talented. I can’t recommend them enough!"

"I booked this vendor at the advice of a friend who manages weddings and has seen their work a lot. I was assigned Alina and Marina for my wedding and they were incredible. The trial was easy and straightforward and I walked out with exactly what I wanted. On the wedding day they nailed both my hair and makeup and everything held up perfectly. They also did hair and makeup for my two bridesmaids, my mom, and my stepmom. Everyone looked great and felt comfortable, and they handled their very specific preferences without any issues. The whole team was professional, organized, and the studio itself is really pretty and welcoming. Highly recommend this vendor."

"I cannot recommend MAB Artistry enough! From the very first email, their communication was top-notch — swift, detailed, and so reassuring. They had their own organized timeline for updates, which kept me stress-free and confident throughout the process. When I visited their gorgeous studio for my trial, Tanya (makeup), Stefani (hair), and Lucy (MUA) were incredibly communicative, making sure I got a look that suited my personal style and needs. They listened to my vision, gave helpful suggestions, and adapted everything perfectly. On my wedding day, they arrived on time, brought such a calm and friendly energy, and made everyone — from bridesmaids to flower girls — feel comfortable and beautiful. I was so impressed by their ability to adapt to different ages, skin tones, hair types, and personal preferences. They nailed every single look while making sure it truly suited the person wearing it. I felt so beautiful and confident walking down the aisle, and my bridal party could not stop raving about how good they felt. Tanya, Stefani, and Lucy are true professionals and artists. If you want a team who is organized, communicative, talented, and makes you feel like your best self, MAB Artistry is the one."
