Megan orozco

For over 12 years, makeup artistry has been more than my career. It's been a way to help women feel confident, beautiful, and celebrated during some of the most meaningful moments of their lives.

The early days of my career were spent working with some of the most respected names in the beauty industry, including Ulta Beauty, Estée Lauder, L'Oréal, YSL Beauty, and Armani Beauty. These experiences provided me with a strong foundation in luxury beauty, advanced artistry techniques, and exceptional client care.

In 2021 I launched Glam Luxe Artistry. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of brides and clients feel their most confident and beautiful. My work has been recognized with awards from WeddingWire, The Knot, and Google, and Glam Luxe Artistry has been featured in Chicago Style Weddings Magazine.

“There’s something truly magical about helping a bride feel like her most confident, radiant self on one of the most meaningful days of her life. That moment when she sees herself in the mirror and lights up? That’s what I live for.”
