Makeup by Cynthia XO

more than just makeup 🤍

Hi, I‘m Cynthia, the face behind makeupbycynthiaxo 💄I’ve been a self-taught makeup artist since 2015 & over the years this has become so much more than just doing makeup for me 🥹

it’s about the connections, the conversations, the quiet moments before your big ones & it’s about helping you feel the most confident, beautiful version of yourself 🫶🏼

my kids are my world, my clients mean everything to me & I truly feel honored every time I’m trusted to be a part of someone’s special day 🥰

if you’ve ever supported me, booked with me or even just liked a post, thank you 🤍

I’m so grateful you’re here 💄
