About Glam by Duaa

Hi, I’m Duaa — the artist behind the glam! I’ve always believed makeup is more than just products on a face; it’s a feeling. It’s that moment you look in the mirror and feel confident, beautiful, and truly seen. Whether it’s for your wedding, engagement, or any special event, my goal is to create a look that feels like you, just elevated.

I specialize in both soft and full glam, always tailoring the look to your features, skin tone, and vibe. My clients come from all walks of life, and I take pride in making everyone feel welcome, celebrated, and flawless — no matter the occasion. I use high-end, long-lasting products and skin prep tailored to each person, so you glow all day and photograph beautifully.

I’m based in Virginia but travel across Maryland and DC for weddings, parties, and group bookings. When you book with me, you’re not just getting a service — you’re getting an experience. I bring calm energy, attention to detail, and a deep love for what I do.

Thank you for considering me to be part of your special moments. I can’t wait to glam you up!

Whether you’re walking down the aisle, attending a special event, or celebrating something big, my goal is to create a look that makes you feel confident, radiant, and truly seen.

My services include full bridal glam, engagement makeup, party glam, dupatta and jewelry setting, and hairstyling. I specialize in both soft and full glam, always tailoring each look to your features, outfit, event, and personal style. I never do “one size fits all” — everything is custom to you.

I prep every client’s skin based on their skin type to ensure a long-lasting, flawless finish. I use top-quality, professional products that photograph beautifully, feel lightweight, and hold up through tears, hugs, dancing, and long wedding days.

For my brides, I bring a calm energy and professional experience to help your day feel smooth and special. I’ll be your hype girl, your makeup artist, and your beauty perfectionist all in one. From setting your jewelry to adjusting your dupatta or veil — I’m there to help you look and feel your best.

I offer group packages for moms, bridesmaids, and friends as well, and I travel across the DMV area for weddings and events. If you’d prefer to save on travel fees, you’re always welcome at my home studio in Stafford.

Our Gallery

Welcome to the Glam by Duaa bridal makeup gallery! Here you’ll find real client transformations—from soft, glowy looks to bold, full glam. Every look is created with love, care, and a deep understanding of how to enhance natural beauty while matching each client’s personal style.

My gallery includes a wide range of skin tones, face shapes, and wedding vibes—because I believe beauty has no one look or background. Whether you’re getting ready for your big wedding day, an engagement shoot, or a pre-wedding celebration, I tailor every detail to make sure your glam feels like you.

Each face you see here represents trust, confidence, and connection. I use only high-quality, long-lasting products to make sure your makeup not only photographs beautifully but also wears comfortably all day. From perfectly prepped skin to seamless foundation blends and softly defined eyes or bold bridal glam—you’ll find it all here.

Many of my brides ask for a signature glow, and that’s something I take pride in delivering. I prep every client’s skin based on their skin type and apply makeup with techniques that are meant to last through hugs, tears, dancing, and flash photography.

If any of these looks inspire you, feel free to screenshot and bring them to your trial or consultation. And if you’re not sure what you want yet—don’t worry. That’s what I’m here for. Together, we’ll design a look that fits your personality, your dress, and your day.

Let this gallery be a glimpse into the passion and professionalism behind every glam session I do. Thank you for visiting—and I can’t wait to add your photo next.
