Welcome to Kendra Bliss Beauty! I am a traveling makeup artist based in Lanham, MD. Feel free to exp Her passion for makeup artistry began in college.
Kendra Bliss is a self taught, freelance makeup artist from Lanham, MD. She loved to get her makeup done by professionals and friends and decided to educate herself. She learned immensely by observing and practicing on friends. In 2016, she started accepting clients and building her creative presence on social media. In such short time, her creativity has received recognition by celebrities, beauty bloggers and other makeup artists, and cosmetic companies, such as Iman and Black Opal. From 2017-2019, she continued to see clients but also trained under senior artists to refine her skills. In 2020, she launched her first virtual makeup masterclass to educate everyday women in makeup! Today, she is a traveling makeup artist based in Lanham, MD. She caters to her clients, ensuring they feel confident and beautiful for each and every occasion!
A good makeup artist comes with her makeup kit.
A bridal beauty director comes with a plan.
Whether you’re a quiet-morning bride or a turn-up bride, “Who’s next?” should NOT be the conversation on your wedding morning. 😂🤎
We handled that weeks ago.
Because a thoughtful beauty timeline isn’t about controlling your morning. It’s about protecting your ability to enjoy it.
Your only job is to enjoy being the bride. 🫶🏾
You do NOT need a full face to look put together. 🤎
Give me five minutes and a good starting lineup. 😂
Today, I started with two complexion products: my Danessa Myricks foundation + a little Face Atelier under my eyes and through the center of my face to brighten and lift.
Add mascara and a lip and…girl, we’re already outside. 😂
And because it’s getting cooler and I like my skin to GLOW, I didn’t even bother with powder today.
This is what I mean when I talk about my Glow Six.
Foundation.
Concealer/brightener.
Mascara.
Lip.
Blush.
Powder.
Six is the MAX — not the requirement.
Today? I only needed four.
Because the goal isn’t to own more makeup.
It’s to master the few products that actually work for you.
That’s exactly what I teach inside The GLOW Method Playbook — how to simplify your beauty routine, understand what actually earns a place in your starting lineup, and use your essentials with confidence.
Because glow doesn’t come from having more.
It comes from knowing what to do with what you have. 🤎

Kimera told me she’s pretty low-key.
And I think this photo says everything. 🤎
She didn’t need to become a different version of herself to become the bride.
The assignment wasn’t “more makeup because it’s a wedding.”
It was soft. polished. elevated. still HER.
Bridal makeup doesn’t have to announce itself for the artistry to be there.
And the funny part? She almost did all of this herself. 😂
About a week before the wedding, she decided to bring me and my hairstylist Brittney in—and afterward, she told us how happy she was that she did.
Sometimes luxury isn’t about having someone do something you couldn’t do.
Sometimes it’s being able to sit down, exhale, and know:
This is one thing I don’t have to think about.
Brittney handled the hair. I handled the makeup.
And Kimera got to be the bride. 🤎
Brides, THIS is why I don’t want you experimenting with random new skincare right before your wedding. 😩🤎
I introduced a new product into my routine…and my skin had something to say about it. 😂
And this is exactly why I’m always talking to my brides about having a plan for their skin BEFORE the wedding.
Imagine being a few weeks away from your wedding and deciding to completely overhaul your skincare routine because TikTok told you something would give you glass skin.
Please don’t. 😭
Your wedding skin preparation needs a timeline.
There are things we can work on months before your wedding—hydration, brightness, hyperpigmentation, texture, overall skin health—and there are things I absolutely do not want you experimenting with when we’re getting close.
Because the goal isn’t perfect skin.
The goal is skin that is balanced, bright, hydrated and glowing—and as predictable as possible when it’s time for your wedding-day makeup.
That’s exactly why I created my Bridal Glow Timeline. 🤎
It gives you a step-by-step framework for what to focus on and when, so you’re not trying to fix everything at the last minute.
If you’re getting married, grab your complimentary Bridal Glow Timeline at the link in my bio. 🫶🏾
And then…leave your skincare alone, girl. 😂 We have a wedding to prepare for.
My bride was late today. And guess what? We were still okay. 🤎
Not because everything went according to plan.
Because the plan accounted for the fact that everything might not go according to plan.
You cannot predict the exact moment someone will run late, a zipper will get stuck, breakfast will arrive late, someone will misplace an earring, the photographer will need five extra minutes, or a bride will simply need a moment to herself.
But you can plan for the possibility.
That’s why I believe in building intentional buffers into a wedding-day beauty timeline.
Because there are two very different ways to experience an unexpected 20-minute delay:
✨ “We’re okay. We have time.”
or
😩 “Everybody hurry! We’re behind!”
Same delay.
Completely different wedding morning.
And on a day that already moves incredibly fast, I’d much rather give my bride time she ends up not needing than have her desperately need time we never gave her.
A good timeline gets you there on time.
A thoughtful timeline gives you room to be human along the way. 🤎
Brides, when you’re reviewing your wedding-day timeline, don’t just ask: “Does everything fit?”
Ask: “Where is my buffer?”
Save this one for your wedding planning. 🫶🏾
If your wedding starts at 4 PM, that doesn’t mean your makeup artist just works backward from 4 and picks a start time.
We need to know:
Where are you getting dressed?
How far are you from the venue?
When does your photographer need you?
Are you doing a first look?
When will you eat?
When do guests begin arriving?
And most importantly… where is the breathing room?
Because I don’t want you jumping out of my chair and immediately being rushed into your dress.
I want you to eat. Use the bathroom. Read the letter. Take the photos. Have the moment with your mom. Sit on the edge of the bed for five minutes and realize, “I’m getting married today.” 🥹
A well-planned bridal beauty timeline doesn’t just get you ready on time.
It protects the way you get to experience your wedding morning.
So when a makeup artist asks, “What time is your ceremony?” — that should be the beginning of the conversation, not the end.
Save this while you’re building your wedding-day timeline. 🤎
Every wedding is different. First looks, travel, getting-ready locations, photography and other details will affect your actual timing.
Your makeup artist can’t “cover” everything — and that’s something you deserve to know before your wedding day. 🤎
Makeup is incredible at correcting color, evening the complexion, adding dimension, and enhancing your features.
But texture? Puffiness? Fine lines? Those require a different conversation.
If there’s something about your skin or features that you already know you’ll be concerned about in your wedding photos, don’t wait until wedding morning to address it.
Bring it up during your bridal preview.
Think about your skin prep in the weeks leading up to the wedding.
And if your desired result involves reducing visible texture in your final images, talk with your photographer about their approach to retouching and post-production.
Part of preparing for bridal beauty is understanding what makeup can do, what it can’t do, and having a plan for both.
The goal isn’t to sell you an impossible promise.
It’s to help you walk into your wedding day knowing exactly what to expect — and feeling beautiful when you do. 🤎
