Great makeup artist

Grace is amazing at what she does. I originally got to know Grace in 2020 when I hired her to do makeup for my coworkers and myself. She was great and gave us all fresh and natural looks. My wedding was coming up and thankfully she was available. Months prior to my wedding I started breaking out in cystic acne (prior to this I had clear skin my whole life). Grace covered it ALL!! Honestly. One of my good friends kept saying my skin looked flawless. Grace is also so lovely to talk to - you can tell she really loves what she does, and genuinely wants clients to be happy. I would recommend her to anyone!

Grace was absolutely amazing. She came with an experienced outlook and still listened to my concerns. She is so lovely and accommodating. 100%

I can’t say enough good things about Grace and my experience with her. We did a trial run of makeup and a separate trial run of hair and she was spot on. Absolutely sweet, professional, experienced and willing to please. Highly recommend.

Fantastic and Fun

Grace put it a lot of work to do my whole bridal party on time and she was super fun to spend the morning with. Trial was easy and fun, and the quality of her work was exceptional - I don't think I've ever been happier. She nailed the simple glam, and she also nailed a more natural toned-down but gorgeous style for my bridesmaids who were less comfortable with wearing makeup. Loved working with her and feel very lucky to have had her on my big day!

Last minute gem!

I happen to find Grace by fluke earlier this year when my makeup artist pulled out for unknown reasons. I was looking online and messaging anyone I could find for quotes and availability for 3 months from then. Grace was the only artist that replied with professionalism and empathy for my situation. Grace made my date work with her schedule and that’s not to be forgotten. Her makeup skill was phenomenal, I was incredibly impressed just by the trial. She blew it out of the park on the day of my wedding, she meshed so well with my bridesmaids, mom, and photographer - it felt like she was part of the group - like another friends or family member just meant to be there. Her assistant was also magnificent, I was happy to have someone just as good as Grace doing the other half of my bridal party. Grace even helped with my hair before I went to my ceremony, which I am so beyond thankful for. If I could go back in time and book her at the beginning, I would. Grace’s skill with her outstanding personality can not be beat - I’m so happy to have had her with me on my wedding day and for all my next major events. HIGHLY recommend.

Achieved the perfect look

Grace is a master at what she does. She gave me a makeup trial a few days before my wedding and knew exactly which colours and products would suit me. Her fun and easy manner put me at ease and helped to keep me calm on my wedding morning. She was able to do make up for our two mothers and my maid of honour as well and didn't miss a beat. Highly recommended.

Amazing Makeup Artist

From my first inquiry with Grace, I knew she was going to be amazing! She was very responsive and even asked for some photos to get an idea of my vision. Grace was punctual, if not a little early. She made me look natural and feel like the best version of myself. My makeup looked great all night long with no touchups needed. I can’t recommend Grace enough, she is so talented at her craft and truly loves what she does!

Grace was a wonderful makeup artist & I highly recommend her work. She definitely made me feel beautiful on my special day and even my mother (MOB). She does a great job ensuring your happy with your look and ensured to do touch up’s for everyone before leaving. Would definitely book Grace for any future events if needed.

Grace Marie Porco
Grace Marie Porco
Owner & Lead Makeup Artist

Grace Marie Porco was born and raised in Vaughan, Ontario and began doing makeup as a teenager; countless hours in front of the mirror practicing. Her first makeup inspiration was her mother. She would sit in front of the washroom mirror and watch in awe as her mother put makeup on each morning before work. It was at that young of an age Grace knew she was in love with makeup! As a teen, she started playing and experimenting with different looks and colour combinations.

It was not until 2016 when she obtained her Makeup Certificate through the Canadian Beauty College and decided that this passion was something that she wanted to pursue in her life. Through her art and love of makeup, Grace brings positive energy and a feeling of beauty and confidence to everyone that she works with. She also invests in only the best products for her kit, so that her clients will look their best.

Within the comfort of your own home, Grace can create a very natural to a very dramatic look depending on the client’s personal style. She always listens to her clients visions, and offers her input to help create a look that will look best on them.
