Philosophy
First,
listening.
It always starts with getting to know you. What you like, how you dress day to day, the kind of wedding you're having, what your dress is like.
We build from there. At the trial we try things, adjust and decide — no rush, no pressure. Once you're happy with something, that's when I start suggesting. Never before.
And on the wedding day, we'll have everything ready so you can enjoy it and we can have a good time.
About me
I'm Mar.
An observer first,
an artist second.
My interest in makeup began early, shaped by my grandmother Montse. From her I learned that makeup isn't about hiding — it's about accompanying. About respecting who someone actually is.
Over the years I've learned that it doesn't matter how much technique you have if you don't listen to the person in front of you. I've worked across very different worlds — Fashion Week, editorials, Vanity Fair — and they've all taught me the same thing: for the result to be a ten, you have to listen first.
I believe in calm processes. I'm not in a rush. And on a wedding day, that makes all the difference.
Born in Barcelona, 1987. Lived in Madrid and London. Now happily settled in the south of Spain.

Google reviews
"Trusting Mar with my wedding hair and makeup was absolutely the right call. At the trial and on the day itself she was incredibly caring. I felt like myself — confident and calm. Everything held up perfectly through the nerves, the tears and the dancing. I would choose her again without hesitation."
"I don't usually wear much makeup and wanted something very subtle. She always listened without judgement, while still sharing her professional point of view. Her warmth is incredible — we connected from the very first appointment. Absolutely wonderful."
"Mar is professionalism, talent and warmth all in one. She made me feel at ease the whole time and brought real calm to the morning. We tried different looks until we landed on the one that was truly mine."
Destination weddings

Frequently asked questions
Things brides
often ask me.
Is a trial included?
Yes, always — it's part of the service. The trial lasts around four hours and can take place at my studio or wherever you're staying.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can. Spring and autumn dates go quickly — it's not unusual for brides to book twelve to eighteen months ahead.
Do you travel for destination weddings?
Yes. I travel regularly for destination weddings across Spain and internationally. Travel is costed separately depending on where you are.
Can you also do the bridesmaids and guests?
Yes — bridesmaids and guests can be added once you've confirmed your booking, subject to availability.
What if I don't know what style I want?
Completely normal — most brides don't. We start from your everyday style and build from there. You don't need a mood board. That's my job.
How does the booking process work?
Get in touch and I'll send you a full information pack covering everything — service, pricing, how it all works. The date is then secured with a deposit.
