Where

Riviera Maya is home

Based in the Riviera Maya, Zoë provides luxury bridal makeup for destination weddings across Playa del Carmen, Cancún, Tulum, Akumal, Playa Mujeres, Mexico City and Cabo, and takes select weddings abroad.

The approach

A refined approach to bridal makeup.

Bridal makeup here is approached with intention and restraint, and a deep understanding of how makeup has to perform on a wedding day. The focus is skin that looks like skin: natural in person, beautiful in every light.

Every look is built to last from ceremony to celebration in warm climates and long days, without ever feeling heavy or overworked. Brides who book Zoë value quiet professionalism and an editorial eye.

The morning

Zoë and her team arrive with a timeline built around your photographer and planner. Calm room, no running back and forth.

“Zoe is the definition of a true professional. Even if you're not getting married in Mexico, she is absolutely worth flying out to your destination wedding.”
Alex G. · Wedding in the South of France
“My makeup was absolutely flawless and lasted perfectly, even in the Tulum jungle humidity!”
Catherine T. · Wedding in Tulum
“Having a darker complexion and almond shaped eyes, I've worked with MUAs who just made me look horrid. But Zoe made me feel like a goddess. The colors she chose complemented my skin tones.”
MJ G. · Bridal party
“It stayed flawless in the heat, held up through all the dancing, and still looked incredible by the end of the night.”
Hana R. · Destination wedding
“Her calm presence and positive energy in the room were exactly what every bride needs.”
Ellie G. · Outdoor wedding
“She knows what looks good in front of the camera but also doesn't look scary in person.”
Lindy C. · Wedding in Cancún
Questions

Good to know

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. Zoë is based in the Riviera Maya and takes select weddings worldwide, with past brides in Lake Como, Ravello, the South of France, Napa Valley and Scotland. For weddings abroad, travel is quoted as Zoë’s rates plus flights, accommodation and associated expenses.

How far in advance should I book?

Nine to twelve months ahead is ideal. Peak season dates go early, especially for Zoë herself, so it’s best to enquire as soon as you have your date and venue.

Can Zoë do my whole bridal party?

Zoë personally takes care of the bride plus three others for makeup. For larger parties, her team of master artists covers everyone else, so your whole group is looked after on the same timeline.

Do I need a trial?

It’s your choice. Many brides book a preview session to build the look together, often around the welcome party or rehearsal dinner.

How do I secure my date?

Send the bridal enquiry form. We’ll come back with your proposal, and your date is secured with a signed contract and a $350 USD non-refundable retainer.
