About Maria Glamella

Well first off.. Maria is a true jersey girl & dog mom of 2 precious lil fur babies named Coco & Pebbles... yes that is their names. But Glamella? She is a professional makeup artist with over 10 years of experience bringing beauty to life. My journey began back in high school, when I discovered how much joy a little sparkle could bring while adding glitter to my cheer team’s looks. What started as a passion grew quickly into a career.

In 2015, I graduated from Artist Makeup Academy, which launched me into the world of professional artistry. Shortly after, I began my career at MAC Cosmetics, where I sharpened my skills and fell in love with the art of transformation. By 2023, I expanded my expertise even further, obtaining my NJ State Esthetician's License. Go me!

Over the years, my work has taken me behind the scenes at some of the most exciting stages in beauty and entertainment. I’ve worked with networks like Bravo and MTV, glammed stars from Netflix reality shows such as Love is Blind and Lifetime's Dance Moms, created looks for book covers with award winning photographers and even had the honor of working on the Emmy Awards and behind the scenes at the Met Gala.

While I love every creative opportunity, my heart lies in bridal and special event makeup—helping my clients look and feel their most confident on their biggest days. Whether it’s a wedding, a milestone celebration, or even just a new profile picture, I bring the same level of passion and artistry to every look.

For me, makeup isn’t just about beauty—it’s about creating moments of confidence, because life's greatest luxury? Yourself.
