Elevating Your Natural Beauty for Life’s Most Special Moments
Professional makeup artist based in Minneapolis, MN—specializing in soft, timeless glam that lets you shine!
Let’s Get Glam—A Peek Into My Journey!
Hello, gorgeous! I’m Hannah, the founder of Beauty by Mae and a freelance makeup artist specializing in bridal makeup, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My journey in the beauty industry started in 2016 at a bareMinerals boutique, where I worked for 3.5 years. In 2022, I teamed up with a former coworker and close friend to venture into the wedding industry as a freelance makeup artist. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working around 20 weddings each year across the Twin Cities and surrounding areas.
Outside of Beauty by Mae, I work full-time as a Sourcing Manager at Target Corporation. I’m passionate about traveling—Barcelona, Spain, is my favorite destination—and I’m a proud dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Finn (who occasionally models on the side). I’ve also been happily dating my boyfriend, Tommy, for three wonderful years.
At Beauty by Mae, my philosophy is simple: enhance your natural beauty. I specialize in soft, natural glam looks designed to help you feel radiant, confident, and completely comfortable in your own skin. It would be an honor to be apart of your special day!
xoxo,
Hannah
Love letters from some stunning brides
Hannah was an absolute joy to work with! When I first met her during my trial I knew she would be the perfect addition to my wedding day. She was so fun to chat with, a makeup genius, and a fabulous energy for the big day! I knew I wanted a more natural look (I don’t tend to wear much makeup) and she did the perfect job at giving me a bridal glow while still feeling just like myself. She was able to mix some of my own products to help make me feel more like myself. She also did a fabulous job with my bridesmaids - they all spoke very highly of her work throughout the whole day! She was such a fun energy to have while we all got ready. To be honest, I was sad to see her leave once her job was done! I absolutely loved getting to know her and would recommend to any bride-to-be!

“Hannah was AMAZING to work with from planning to the actual wedding day!! I was planning a wedding from out of state, and every step of the way she was so accommodating and worked with me to schedule all trials and details for the actual big day. She was so sweet at the trial and executed exactly what I showed her. She was extremely receptive to any changes I wanted to make and again, executed those perfectly for the day of. She was super punctual and prepared (even with such an early start!) and had the best attitude throughout the entire morning. Myself and every single one of my bridesmaids LOVED how our makeup turned out. She pulled off 9 different looks on different skin types and tones in a timely manner and did exactly what we asked. She made us feel so beautiful and comfortable! She made me feel so so beautiful in my own skin, I looked like an elevated and elegant version of myself. I was getting compliments all night!! I truly couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s communicative, detail-oriented, so personable and sweet, and great at what she does. ♥️”

Hannah was the absolute BEST choice of makeup artist for my wedding day. She is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and thorough. My wedding makeup trial was so easy and fun as she is wonderful to chat with and was able to answer all of my questions about colors/shades as well as how long lasting the makeup would be. She was super receptive to feedback and had immediate ideas when there were aspects of my makeup I was unsure about/didn't know what to choose. On the wedding day she was punctual, organized, and brought GREAT vibes and energy to the getting ready space. All of my friends and family who got their makeup done by her absolutely loved her too and I felt so glad I chose someone that is so easy to get along with, along with being incredibly talented! My makeup looked AMAZING all day long, even though the day was a bit humid, there are even late night dance floor photos where I was shocked at how great my makeup still looked! Look no further and hire Hannah for any of your professional makeup needs. :)
