Wedding Makeup

Zaniffa is a absolute delight to work with! From the makeup trial, to the wedding day, she helped me feel confident and beautiful! My mother, and bridesmaids also commented how much they appreciated her calm and uplifting personality the morning of the wedding. She expertly enhanced our range of skin types, and also took care to consider our personal preferences. Her makeup application was flawless, and the photos turned out beautifully! It lasted throughout a hot sunny day, full of kisses, happy tears, and dancing away the night. More...

I had a wonderful experience working with Zaniffa for my wedding day! She did an amazing job with my makeup and was kind, professional, and easy to work with. She was always open to feedback and made sure I was happy with every detail. Her setup was very clean and organized, and she took her time to ensure everything looked perfect. What I appreciated most was that she stayed to help put on my veil and even assisted with lacing up my corset.My only note is that her hairstylist used a lot of hairspray and yet the curls didn't last as long on either me or my bridesmaids' hair. Aside from that, everything else was great. More...

Wedding Makeup

Zanifa was very professional, has a warm personality and has a gentle approach in suggesting or implementing what is good makeup for one’s skin complexion and what is age appropriate makeup. The age range between myself and the girls are senior to preteen. The makeup looks natural , does not feel heavy and lasted through the night of dancing . I highly recommend Zaniffa, it was a great experience for me and the girls. More...

I got married a couple of months ago in October and found it really difficult to find a hair and makeup artist until I found Zaniffa. As someone with a lot of allergies and someone that does not wear a lot of makeup it was hard for me to explain exactly what I wanted but talking to Zaniffa made it simple as she was very communicative and understanding. She matched me perfectly with Dana who did mine and my bridal party's hair and with Raquel who was our makeup artist. They did such a fantastic job and were really accommodating. I was really happy with the results and was very pleased with the service we received. Thank you! More...

I had the pleasure of working with Zaniffa and her hair stylist Livia a couple weekends ago for hair and makeup for a wedding I was attending in Canada. Both exceeded mine and my groups expectations. I’ve never really been able to color match foundation and have felt other artists have done it either too dark or too light but Zaniffa nailed it perfectly. Zaniffa is incredibly easy to talk to and made everything easy. Our makeup and hair were flawless and we received compliments all night! Both Zaniffa and Livia were able to come up with looks that complimented our outfits. I can’t recommend their services enough, Zaniffa will definitely be my first call the next time I have an event in Canada. More...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Zaniffa! From the start, she was professional and took her time to consult with me and my bridesmaids. She asked thoughtful questions, listened to the looks we wanted, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident with their choices. I felt so reassured knowing she understood my vision for a natural and beautiful bridal look.

On the wedding day, Zaniffa was a dream to work with—kind, patient, and calm, which made such a difference. She worked carefully but efficiently, enhancing everyone’s features beautifully. The end result was exactly what I had hoped for: my makeup looked natural and flawless, lasted all day and night, and stayed perfect through the ceremony, photos, and hours of dancing. I received so many compliments, and it was all thanks to her skill.

I truly can’t thank her enough for making me feel so confident on one of the most important days of my life. If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is talented, caring, and professional, I wholeheartedly recommend Zaniffa.

Aww! Thank you so much Mitchell. 💕 It truly meant the world to me to be part of your special day. Seeing you and your wedding party glowing with happiness was the highlight of my work. I’m so grateful you trusted me and so glad everything held up beautifully, even on the hottest day of the year! Wishing you a lifetime of love and joy in this new chapter. ✨💍 Zaniffa

Z is a lovely person who genuinely cares for her clients. I was looking for someone with experience who could execute a classic and natural look. I don't wear a lot of makeup and she created the perfect look for me without going over the top. We got married in +30 degrees and I still looked amazing. My make up was flawless, without shine or sweat on my face for pictures and my makeup was still great at the end of the night. I would recommend Zaniffa for your wedding day, you won't regret it. A true professional who listens to her clients and knows her product inside and out. 10/10 for professionalism, time management and execution. More...

Zaniffa was wonderful! She was so friendly, responsive and helpful in planning. She offered a lot of tips to prepare for hair and makeup for my wedding day and was crystal clear on each step along the way. Though she didn't do my hair and makeup herself (her super talented colleague Jas did who has a very similar style to Zaniffa), Zaniffa guided me through everything else. Her advice and guidance really showed her level of expertise in the field. I highly recommend her - you won't regret it!

Thank you for everything Zaniffa! :)

Oh my goodness, Tania — thank you so much for this beautiful review! 💕 Reading your kind words truly made my day. I may not have done your hair and makeup personally, but it meant the world to me to support you through the planning and prep, and to ensure you felt confident every step of the way. I’m so glad Jas was able to deliver the look you envisioned — she’s incredibly talented, and it was important to me that you were in great hands. Thank you again for trusting me for your special day. It’s reviews like this that remind me why I love what I do. Wishing you all the happiness in this new chapter! 💍✨ Zaniffa

I had the pleasure of working with Zaniffa for my wedding makeup, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was so attentive and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. I appreciated how open she was to making adjustments and making sure I was 100% happy with the final look. Not only is she talented, but she’s also such a lovely, easy person to talk to — she helped keep the morning calm and enjoyable. Livy, my hair stylist, was equally fantastic. She brought my vision to life beautifully and made sure every detail was perfect. My hair held up all day and night, and I received so many compliments. Together, they made me feel like the best version of myself on such a special day. I can’t recommend them enough! More...

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Zaniffa for my wedding, and she was nothing short of amazing. She did my makeup, as well as my sister’s and niece’s—and we all felt so beautiful and confident the entire day.

She has such a calming, professional presence, which made the whole getting-ready experience stress-free and actually enjoyable (which, as a bride, I appreciated so much!). She really listened to what we each wanted and brought it to life perfectly. My makeup lasted all night, my hair held through hugs, happy tears, and a photoshoot in the cold!, and I still looked like myself—just the most radiant version.

Thank you for being such an important part of our day. 5/5 without hesitation—I’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Oh Wafa, your message truly touched my heart. Thank you so much for your beautiful words—they honestly brought tears to my eyes. It was such a joy to be a part of your 2 big days. You were the sweetest, calmest bride, and your warmth and kindness made the whole morning feel so special. Seeing you, your sister, and your niece light up after getting ready truly reminded me why I love what I do. Knowing you all felt beautiful and confident makes me feel incredibly fulfilled and grateful. Thank you for trusting me with such an important part of your 2 day event. I’ll always remember the love in the room, the laughter, and how stunning you looked—inside and out.

Dear Zaniffa. Thank you so very much for helping me with my makeup and hair for my son's multiple wedding celebrations. You truly are gifted with a special talent to see inside and really help your clients enhance their own individual beauty and uniqueness. You put me at ease right away on day one and I really felt sooooo much more confident in my own skin at all the events over the course of the three days. Especially the final big reception night. Your expertise and skill was awesome and you truly went above and beyond with all the extra tips and suggestions that really personalized it for me and showed me how much you truly care about your clients and want them to be happy in their own skin. I would highly recommend you to anyone. Your professionalism and gentle nature are truly unique and a rare quality. Thank you again for making me feel so beautiful!!!🤗 More...

Wedding Makeup

Zaniffa, where do I start?
First, I’m beyond happy and satisfied with Zaniffa’s work. She did my makeup for my wedding, and oh my god, she was so accommodating, reassuring and uplifting.
I don’t have my family with me here and don’t have a lot of connections, so going into finding a professional to do my makeup for me was nerve-wracking. I never had someone do my makeup without regretting the decision in the past, but not even a slight regret that I chose Zaniffa.
On top of her fantastic service, she was so willing to help me, knowing my circumstances that my wedding was planned in less than a month and my health wasn’t that great. She went out of her way to find me hair extensions, which is usually something that the customers themselves would do, but she is just a fantastic person.
She also recommended/connected me with a fantastic hair stylist who did my hair for the wedding, and I’m also so happy and satisfied.
Again, if you want someone who respects your wishes regarding what is more comfortable for you, go for Zaniffa. The client's happiness and satisfaction are her number one goal; no pushing something on you or convincing you to keep or remove whatever. She makes you feel pretty and, most importantly comfortable.
I’m dark-skinned, so it's always a struggle for me who will not make me look grey or pick weird colours; she did a fantastic job doing my makeup.
She still checks up on my health, and I’m thankful that I had a fantastic person prepare me for my special day.
Thank you Zaniffa
♥️

Q&As

What I love most about my job is that moment when my client looks in the mirror and lights up, not because they look different, but because they feel like the best version of themselves.
I love creating soft, flawless looks that enhance their natural beauty while still feeling light and comfortable on the skin.
Being part of such special moments and helping someone feel confident, beautiful, and completely like themselves is what makes me love what I do.

My journey as a beauty professional began at the age of 20, while balancing university and a part-time job. What started as a passion quickly grew into something much bigger.
From a young age, I’ve always been drawn to beauty — not just for how it looks, but for how it makes women feel. I fell in love with the way makeup can enhance natural features and bring out a sense of confidence.
What began as a side hustle soon turned into a full-time career, leading me to invest deeply in my craft through advanced training, certifications, and ongoing education with some of the industry’s top professionals.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to be part of hundreds of weddings and special events, as well as editorial and creative photoshoots. I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside respected artists and traveling for destination weddings.
Working with women of all ages, backgrounds, and skin types has shaped my approach — creating customized looks that enhance rather than change, so every client still feels like herself, just elevated.
At the heart of it all, what inspires me most is helping women feel confident, beautiful, and completely themselves during some of the most important moments of their lives.

Clients choose me because I specialize in soft, natural glam that enhances your features — never changing the way you look.

My approach is calm, professional, and easy going. I take the time to truly listen to what you’re looking for, so you feel comfortable, understood, and confident every step of the way.

Along with creating a flawless, radiant look, I also bring a positive, friendly energy that helps make your experience feel relaxed and enjoyable — especially on such an important day.

Yes, If needed. I provide remote makeup and hair lesson's remotely. My students come to me to learn how to apply foundation properly, also enhancing their natural beauty.
