5 Best Makeup Artists in Abu Dhabi (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Booking makeup artists in Abu Dhabi for a wedding or event usually means trusting someone else's Instagram feed and hoping the in-person result matches. These studios have logged 3,461 reviews between them, and the ratings sit close together, 4.6 to 4.9, with the busiest name here holding well over a thousand reviews on its own. That volume matters more than a single glowing post ever could.

Short answer: GLOW Beauty Center leads with 4.8 stars across 1,448 reviews, the deepest review base on this page, and is known for bridal packages that include a Moroccan bath and full glam. Eternity Beauty Studio rates highest overall at 4.9, on a smaller 370-review base, and is a strong pick for lash and brow work alongside makeup. Full glam sessions across these studios generally run into the hundreds of dirhams, based on reviewer-reported pricing.

How we score these studios

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers have actually rated the studio, weighed against the others on this page. Confidence blends the rating with that volume, so a strong score built on over a thousand reviews carries more weight than the same score on a few hundred. Recency checks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does professional makeup cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

None of these studios publish a fixed makeup price list, and pricing varies heavily by package, whether it’s a single event look or a full bridal day with hair and touch-ups included. Reviewer-reported spend on related salon services gives a general sense of the range.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These studios are spread across central Abu Dhabi, from Al Nahyan and Al Mohammed Bin Ali Al Rumaithi Street to Karamah Street, so a search for makeup artists near me from most parts of the city will put at least two or three of them within a short drive.

What to ask before you book

Can I see a portfolio of work similar to the look I want?
Do you offer a trial session before a wedding or major event?
What’s included in a full glam package versus a single service?
How far in advance do you need to book for a weekend or wedding date?
Do you travel to a venue, or is it studio-only?
What products do you use, and can you accommodate sensitive skin?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these makeup artists?

We pulled real Google Business Profile data for beauty studios offering makeup services in Abu Dhabi and ranked them on a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

Do these studios offer bridal packages?

Several do, including GLOW Beauty Center and Maiyas Beauty Salon, both of which combine hair, makeup, and spa treatments into single event bookings.

Should I book a trial before my wedding day?

It’s worth asking. Reviews show at least one studio needing touch-ups on an event day, so a trial session ahead of time reduces that risk.

How often is this updated?

This page was last verified in July 2026 against live Google ratings and review counts.

The bottom line

GLOW Beauty Center is the safe default, backed by the deepest review base on this page and consistent praise across hair, nails, and makeup. If lash and brow detail matters more to you than volume, Eternity Beauty Studio’s top rating makes it worth a closer look.
