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 went above and beyond all expectations on my wedding day. She made my closest friends and family look absolutely beautiful! She brought such a fun positive vibe to my wedding morning, and wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Hannah has a such an eye for all things beauty. 1000000/10 recommend to all! Wish I could have her do my makeup everyday.

I could not be happier with the makeup Hannah did for my engagement pictures & wedding day! Her makeup application lasted all day and night, and my bridal party received so many compliments on their makeup. Hannah made myself and the girls feel beautiful and comfortable. I highly recommend booking with her for any of your makeup needs!

When crafting my professional kit, I always keep two things in mind: quality and longevity. I understand the importance of having your makeup last throughout the entire day. I carefully select products for my kit based on performance to help you achieve your desired look. As a result, I use both prestige and drugstore options. Some of my favorite brands in my kit include Patrick Ta, Makeup by Mario, Charlotte Tilbury, MAC Cosmetics, L'Oréal, Rare Beauty, and E.L.F Cosmetics.
