ABOUT SARA

I believe the true you shines brightest when makeup amplifies your best features and highlights your individual charm.

Welcome to my world of brushes, beauty, and a bit of baking! I'm Sara Ahmed, a Houston-based makeup artist with over a decade of experience, transforming clients into their most radiant selves. My journey began with a passion for teaching, where I earned my bachelor’s in elementary education. However, my love for makeup and helping others feel confident led me to swap the chalkboard for a makeup palette. Now, I blend my educational background with artistry, ensuring every client not only looks but feels their best. My goal? To bring out the True You—enhancing your natural beauty with a touch of glam and a lot of heart.

When I’m not perfecting bridal looks or creating content, you’ll find me whipping up new recipes, exploring the world with my family, or playing with my two lovely daughters, Sameera and Sakeena. My work ethic is driven by my commitment to making sure every client feels like the star of their special day, whether it's through a flawless makeup application or a friendly chat. Let's create some magic together—because beauty, much like life, is best when shared!

"I got the opportunity to get my makeup done from the very talented Sara Ahmed for a couple of events and there's not one look that I regret! From heavy makeup to soft glam, she dolled me up exactly the way I wanted. From the products she applied to the techniques she used, everything was on point and the best part was that she remained true to my skin tone which I feel is the most important part. I also got the opportunity to take a few learning classes from her where she showed me how to really get the perfect look for my features. She guided me really well as to what products I need for a day to day look and for full glam. I would highly recommend everyone to give her a shot if not for her experience but definitely for the accommodating and wonderful person that she is!"
