Mendoza Makeup · New York City
Your wedding day should feel effortless.
Your makeup should feel like it was handled by someone who has done this many times before.
At Mendoza Makeup, the bridal experience is designed around clarity, calm, and trust—from your first inquiry to your final touch-up.
Every bride’s face, style, and comfort level is different. Jorge approaches bridal makeup with intention, focusing on:
Skin that looks natural, polished, and luminous
Structure that photographs beautifully from every angle
Makeup that lasts through ceremony, celebration, and dancing
A calm presence on a busy, emotional day
The goal is not transformation for its own sake—it is confidence.
Jorge’s background as a premier drag artist brings a rare technical advantage to bridal makeup. Years of working under intense lighting and high-definition cameras mean every choice is made with longevity and photography in mind.
Techniques such as:
Strategic contour and balance
Long-wear complexion design
Lighting and flash considerations
Optional, subtle face taping for lift and structure
are used only when appropriate, and always with transparency and consent. The result is makeup that feels refined, not theatrical—beautiful in person and flawless in photos.
Makeup trials are a collaborative process designed to remove uncertainty.
During your trial, you can expect:
A detailed discussion of your wedding style, attire, and timeline
Skin prep tailored to your needs
Exploration of finishes, tones, and structure
Time to refine the look without pressure
Trials are strongly recommended for all bridal clients.
On your wedding day, Jorge brings professionalism, organization, and composure.
