Meet Duaa Your Professional Makeup and Hairstyling Artist
Hi, I’m Duaa, the heart and hands behind Glam by Duaa. For me, makeup and hairstyling go beyond beauty; they’re about creating a feeling. That moment when you look in the mirror and see yourself glowing with confidence, elegance, and joy, that’s what inspires me every single day. Whether it’s your wedding, engagement, or a special celebration, my passion is making you feel like the very best version of yourself.
My journey with beauty began early. I discovered my love for makeup at just 11 years old, and it quickly became more than a hobby, it became my passion. Over the years, I’ve explored many areas of the beauty industry, including brows, lashes, facials, and advanced beauty services, which gave me a strong foundation and a deep understanding of faces, skin, and detail. While I briefly explored a different career path, I ultimately chose to follow what truly fulfilled me turning my lifelong passion for makeup into a full-time career I genuinely love.
I specialize in soft glam, full glam, and flawless hairstyling, with every look thoughtfully customized to your features, skin tone, personal style, and cultural background. I believe beauty is not one-size-fits-all, and I take pride in creating looks that feel authentic, elevated, and timeless for each client. I’ve had the privilege of working with brides of every ethnicity, every skin tone, and every skin type, and it’s something I truly love and celebrate.
Using premium, long-lasting products and personalized skin prep, I ensure your glam looks fresh, feels lightweight, and photographs beautifully from start to finish. My goal is not only to enhance your natural beauty, but to create a calm, seamless, and stress-free experience on your special day.
Based in the DMV area, I travel across Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., and beyond, bringing luxury bridal glam right to your door. When you book with me, you’re not just booking a service, you’re booking a detail-obsessed artist who is genuinely invested in your experience and just as excited about your big day as you are.
Thank you for considering me to be part of your special moments. I can’t wait to glam you up and bring your dream look to life.

My Work
I believe that beauty is not one-size-fits-all, and makeup shouldn’t be either.
Every face, every culture, and every bride deserves a look that feels authentic to who they are.
As a makeup artist and hairstylist, I customize every look based on your features, skin type, personal style, and cultural background. I don’t recreate the same glam on every client, and I don’t apply one cultural style across all brides. South Asian bridal glam, Western bridal beauty, Middle Eastern elegance, and African American bridal makeup are all distinct, and I honor those differences in my work.
I’ve had the privilege of working with brides of every ethnicity, every skin tone, and every skin type, and it’s something I truly love. Whether you’re White, Black, Middle Eastern, Asian, or from a multicultural background, your glam is thoughtfully designed to complement you, not fit you into a mold.
That diversity, experience, and attention to detail is what defines my artistry.
