5 Best Makeup Artists in Los Angeles (2026)

Ruth B Medrano runs a mobile hair and makeup studio out of North Hollywood, traveling to hotels, homes, and sets across Los Angeles. Her site lists 14 years behind the chair across every skin tone, age, and texture, plus cosmetology training and time assisting celebrity artists. The work spans weddings, red carpet, editorial shoots, and on-camera segments, and she stays the one artist you book rather than handing you to a rotating team. Clean, camera-ready technique and looks that survive a full day come up over and over in the reviews.

Emily Lynn & Co. is a Southern California bridal hair and makeup team founded by Emily Wright and based in Los Angeles. The house style leans natural: soft, glowing airbrush makeup and modern styling built to read well in person and on camera. The team travels on the wedding morning across LA, Orange County, Malibu, Santa Barbara, and Palm Springs, and its portfolio has run in Vogue, ELLE, Martha Stewart Weddings, and BRIDES. Each look is priced through a custom consultation rather than a fixed menu.

Angeleno Beauty is a bridal and event glam team that builds its whole approach around a calm getting-ready room. The artists describe the morning like a spa visit, taking extra time and asking plenty of questions so each look is customized rather than pulled off a template. Beyond the bride, they regularly do mothers, bridesmaids, and full parties, matching you with an artist whose style fits what you want. Reviews name Stephanie, Michelle, Magdalena, and Carina, which points to a real roster rather than one person.

Kimberley Bosso is a Beverly Hills makeup artist who also runs a makeup school and a product store. Her site points to editorial work across Madrid, Milan, London, and New York, plus red carpet and high-end bridal, with press mentions from CBS and FOX. The listing covers a wide menu: airbrush and traditional makeup, wedding looks, tattoo coverage, brow shaping, and multi-day certification courses. It is as much a training academy and shop as a booking for your own face.

Beauty Affair is the studio of Agne Skaringa, a Los Angeles makeup artist and hairstylist who came to beauty from a background in fine arts and architecture. That training shows in how the work reads: structured, detail-driven looks for red carpet, bridal, events, and photoshoots. Many clients are in town for film festivals or industry nights and want hair and makeup that photographs well and lasts through a long evening. Agne also teaches contouring and technique in one-on-one sessions.
