Makeup for All Occasions in Redwood City, CA

At Waxxx & Glow, we’re more than just a beauty destination — we’re your go-to spot for moments that matter. Founded and rooted right here in Redwood City, CA, our mission is simple: to make professional-grade makeup services accessible, consistent, and built for real people with real events. We don’t follow cookie-cutter routines or rush clients in and out. Every appointment is an opportunity to listen, guide, and create something that fits the occasion. Whether it’s an engagement party, a networking event, a birthday dinner, or a styled shoot, we treat each session like it counts — because it does.

Our team consists of seasoned artists who’ve spent years perfecting the details, not just technique, but people skills. We know that getting your makeup done isn’t about vanity — it’s about showing up with clarity and confidence. It’s about knowing your face won’t melt off after two hours, that your lip color won’t transfer the moment you take a sip, and that the makeup enhances who you are without masking it. We’ve worked with every skin tone, every face shape, every age group, and every kind of event lighting you can imagine. From quiet backyard elopements to red carpet events, from soft-focus maternity shoots to full-glam birthday transformations — we’ve done it all, and we’ve learned from every face we’ve touched.

How Waxxx & Glow Creates Looks That Don’t Quit

Creating the right makeup look isn’t just about product choices — it’s about how those products are applied, layered, and locked in. We focus on performance-based techniques that hold up under lights, time, and real-life conditions.

Here’s how we make sure your makeup works as hard as you do:

Airbrushing :
Delivers smooth, even coverage that feels weightless while standing up to heat and humidity.
Color Correcting :
Balances undertones without piling on product, using targeted shades for redness, dullness, and discoloration.
Baking & Setting :
Locks in foundation and concealer through controlled heat absorption, giving you crease-free wear that lasts.
Face Framing :
Shapes and defines brows and lips to structure the face without harsh lines or overdrawn features naturally.

These aren’t shortcuts — they’re the difference between makeup that fades fast and makeup that lasts through it all. Every technique we use is selected with intention, adjusted to your skin, your event, and your comfort level.

Why Choose Waxxx & Glow?

Lasts Through It All

Tired of makeup that fades before the event ends? We use product layering and oil-control steps that hold steady, even if you’re dancing, sweating, or wearing it for hours on end.

Works with Your Features

Ever had makeup that felt too heavy or looked nothing like you? We build each look to work with your natural shape, not cover it. The result feels like you, only better.

No Guesswork on Style

Not sure what suits a daylight brunch versus an evening party? We know exactly which tones, textures, and finishes work best for different settings, so you’re never out of place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the makeup feel heavy or uncomfortable?

No. We avoid thick layers. We use feather-light formulas and air application to give full coverage that lets your skin breathe — you won’t feel like you’re wearing a mask.

What if I have dry or textured skin?

Do I have to explain everything I want?

No pressure. You don’t have to come up with exact ideas. Whether you’re unsure or overwhelmed by choices, we ask the right questions and show reference looks so you feel confident.
