Meet the Artist

Hello, Mark’d Beauties.

My name is Mariela, but you can call me Miah. I’m a self-taught makeup artist who’s been in this field for over a decade. I offer makeup, body art and special effect services.

Before the brushes

Fifteen, and all in.

I’m a mom and a proud Hispanic woman. Like a lot of girls in our culture, I grew up waiting: no makeup, no dark colors, none of it until I turned fifteen, the year you go from niña to señorita.

So when fifteen finally came, I didn’t ease into it. I went all in, and I never looked back.

That’s why milestones mean so much to me. Whether it’s a quinceañera, a wedding day, or the first time you really see yourself in the mirror, I know how big that moment is, and I treat it that way.

Where it started

From my apartment to my own studio.

I started offering these services in the middle of my apartment, or traveling to clients’ homes — I was ready to do what was necessary to live out my dream of becoming a professional artist.

Now, I still travel to my clients, but I also have my own studio where clients can feel more comfortable in a professional setting.

Why “Mark’d”

A mark, left both ways.

My business name “Mark’d” came from the idea of my art leaving a mark on everyone who books an appointment with me, as well as my clients leaving their mark on me.

My goal with every service I perform is for you to feel just a bit more confident than when you first sat in my seat.

What keeps me going

Watching people see themselves.

Having the opportunity to see people look and feel beautiful is what keeps me going.

I absolutely love what I do — and if you feel the same way, book your next makeup or body art experience with me.
