5 Best Makeup Artists in Seattle (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 · 7 min read

Wedding-day makeup only gets one take, so the makeup artists you book in Seattle need a track record you can actually check, not just a nice portfolio. The names on this page carry over 1,600 Google reviews between them, and the gap is enormous: the top pick alone has nearly eight times the reviews of the smallest studio here.

Short answer: Vann Studio Salon leads on volume with a 4.8 average across 934 reviews, though it's primarily a hair salon that also offers makeup. For dedicated makeup artistry, Seattle Beauty Boss (5.0, 232 reviews) specializes in blowout, makeup and spray tan packages, and LiSun Goh Beauty (5.0, 136 reviews) is a bridal-makeup specialist with a strong reputation. Bridal and event makeup pricing is not published consistently here, so confirm the package rate directly with the artist when you book.

Our take: Its 934 reviews dwarf every other name on this page, and the 4.8 average holds up at that scale, but this is fundamentally a hair salon first. If you want hair and makeup done together in one appointment, it's the volume leader; if makeup is your only need, weigh the more specialized names below.

Glossier Seattle

4.7213 Google reviews

Glossier Seattle is a retail beauty store on 10th Avenue selling Glossier's own makeup and skincare line, not a booked makeup-artist service. Reviewers describe an in-store experience where staff help you test products and give personalized recommendations on skin type and shade, rather than performing a full makeup application.

What people praise

Staff are described as helpful with product recommendations without being pushy
Customers can test products in-store before buying
Clean, well-organized retail space with a distinctive look
Staff give guidance on how and where to apply specific products

Worth knowing

This is a product store, not a makeup-artist booking, so it's not a fit if you need someone to do your makeup for an event

How we score these artists

Every figure here comes from live public Google data, not anything an artist or studio pays for. Rating is the current Google average. Review volume measures how many clients actually left a rating, compared against other Seattle makeup artists and studios. Confidence weighs the rating by how many reviews back it up, so a 4.8 on 934 reviews counts for more than a 5.0 on 119. Recency tracks how fresh that feedback is. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a makeup artist cost in Seattle? (2026)

Makeup artist pricing in Seattle varies widely by occasion, whether it’s a single bridal application, a full wedding party, or an event lesson, and by whether the artist travels to you. General guidance below reflects typical ranges without a single cited local rate card.

Booking across Seattle

These artists and studios are spread across Belltown, downtown near 5th Avenue, West Seattle, the International District and Capitol Hill. Several offer mobile service, so if you’re searching for a makeup artist near me anywhere in the Seattle metro, from Ballard to the Eastside, a house call is often on the table, not just an in-studio appointment.

What to ask before you book a makeup artist

Do you travel to the client, or is it studio-only?
Can I see a trial before the wedding or event date?
What products and brands do you use, in case of allergies or sensitivities?
How far in advance do I need to book for a Saturday wedding?
What’s included in the price, false lashes, touch-up kit, group rates?
How long does the makeup typically last through a full day and night?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

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

How did you choose these names?

We looked at the most-reviewed makeup artists and beauty studios offering makeup services in Seattle, by live Google rating, how many customers rated them, and how recent that feedback is.

Should I book a hair salon or a dedicated makeup artist?

It depends on what you need. A salon like Vann Studio can handle hair and makeup in one visit, while a dedicated artist like LiSun Goh Beauty or Isaac Meyers focuses specifically on makeup technique and application.

How far ahead should I book for a wedding?

Popular artists, especially those specializing in bridal work, can book out months ahead for Saturdays during wedding season. Reach out as early as possible once you have a date.

How often is this page updated?

We last verified these ratings and review counts in July 2026 and refresh them as the underlying Google data changes.

The bottom line

If you want hair and makeup together, Vann Studio’s volume makes it the safe default. If makeup is the whole job, especially for a wedding, LiSun Goh Beauty or Seattle Beauty Boss both carry perfect scores built specifically on that work, so book whichever fits your date and budget.
