Bridal makeup and hair in Riviera Maya and destination weddings. I stay with you through your photos so you recognize yourself in every one.

On your day, you’re still you.

Who is it for?

Many brides hardly wear makeup and are afraid of looking overdone. My job is that you look in the mirror and recognize yourself: you, ready for the camera and for the most photographed day of your life.

I stay with you until the last photo

  1. Getting to know you

    Before we talk about colors, I want to know how you see yourself and how you want to feel. You tell me about you, your wedding and what you don’t want that day.

  2. Makeup and hair trial

    We design your look together and try it calmly. Nothing is improvised on the wedding day.

  3. Your wedding morning

    I arrive on time, with my kit in order and a schedule agreed with your planner. Your suite stays calm.

  4. During your photos

    I stay next to the photographer, check how the camera sees you and touch up whatever is needed. You just enjoy it.

Brides

Luminous skin, eyes that show up in photos and hair that lasts the whole party.

Destination weddings

I live in Riviera Maya and travel wherever your wedding is. There’s no travel fee in Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos and Cancún.

For wedding planners

I know your day depends on every vendor showing up on time. With me, you don’t have to chase anyone: the bride is ready, calm and on time for photos.

I have special terms for wedding planners who work with me.

“Paulina took care of a big part of my family. The makeup and hair timing was right on schedule. Very well organized.”
Claudia, mother of the groom

For camera, take after take.

Television dressing rooms, hotel commercials, editorials and photo shoots in Cancún, Riviera Maya and Mexico City. I know how makeup reads on an HD camera and how to keep it identical from the first take to the last.

Actresses like Carmen Villalobos have trusted my work.

Hi, I’m Paulina

I studied law, but where I feel I belong is in front of a mirror, helping other women look and feel like themselves.

Today I live in Riviera Maya and do makeup for brides, productions and events. I work calmly and in detail, because I prefer quality over quantity: every makeup starts with a conversation and ends when you look in the mirror and smile.

What I enjoy most is that moment when the person in my chair sees herself and gets emotional. She’s happy with how she looks; I’m happy to see her at her best.

When I’m not doing makeup, I rescue dogs with my foundation, Patitas Gigantes.

Frequently asked questions

I hardly wear makeup. Will I look overdone?

No. That’s exactly who I love working with. We use only what the camera needs to see you well with flash and natural light, without losing your face. If we use lashes, they’re so subtle no one will notice.

How far in advance should I book?

As soon as you have a date. Wedding season in Riviera Maya runs from November to April, and those dates fill first. A deposit holds your date.

Is a makeup trial included?

The trial is part of my bridal packages. That’s where we decide your makeup and hair together, calmly and before the wedding.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes. I live in Riviera Maya and travel to Tulum, Cancún, Los Cabos, San Miguel de Allende, Querétaro and wherever your wedding is. There’s no travel fee in Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos and Cancún; anywhere else, I include it in your quote.

Do you also do hair, and makeup for the mother, bridesmaids and guests?

Yes. I do makeup and hair, and I can take care of your mother, bridesmaids and guests on the same day, with a schedule so everyone is ready on time.

Do you stay during the wedding?

I stay through the photo session to touch up and make sure you look like yourself in every shot. If you’d like me with you for more moments, we build it into your quote.

Do you speak English?

Yes. I work in English and Spanish with couples who come from abroad to get married in Mexico.

Do you do makeup for other events?

Yes, for events, interviews and photo shoots in Riviera Maya and Querétaro. Send me the date and the place.
