Samantha Bates

Nothing makes Samantha happier than making people look and feel beautiful. As a teen, she along with her sisters and friends would spend entire weekends art directing, styling and doing the hair and makeup for their own “photo shoots.” She would sift through the pages of Harpers Bazzar and Vouge staring at every detail. So when she decided to enroll in makeup school, the fit seemed pretty natural.

Since then, Samantha has gained over 10 years of professional experience as a makeup artist and hair stylist. Her dedication to brining out the beauty in others shines through all of her work from film to television to print media, and has enhanced the glamor of such stars as Gigi Hadid, Nina Dobrev, Martha Hunt and Peyton List.

Samantha would love to bring this experience and passion to your most important day.
