Gabby

Quick Facts: Gabby currently lives in Montgomery County, MD with her husband, daughter and two cats. When she’s not beautifying clients, you can catch Gabby grabbing an iced coffee, traveling, going to concerts and spending as much time with her family as possible.

Beauty Background: From Gabby’s earliest memories of receiving her first kids makeup kit with glitter eyeshadow and strawberry-flavored lip gloss, she was captivated by the power of cosmetics. That childhood fascination ignited her passion that has blossomed into a fulfilling career as a makeup artist. She attended a leading makeup school and earned an international certification in 2017. For the next decade she balanced her freelance work in the DC/Maryland area with a full time job in client satisfaction and retention. For her, there’s nothing more rewarding than using her skills to help women feel their best. In 2020 her talents caught the attention of a prestigious bridal makeup and hair services group in Northern Virginia, leading her to participate in over 150 weddings in 2023 and almost 400 weddings since 2020.

From the artist:Makeup is not a tool meant to make an ugly thing beautiful. It is meant to only magnify the beauty that already exists.

  • "MAB Studio made my hair and make-up vision come to life! When I had my trial sessions, both artists made recommendations that I would not have considered myself that truly brought my vision to life. This means a lot especially as someone who is not always comfortable in full make-up. I am so grateful to have worked with such experts in their craft! "

  • "They tackled a wide range of hair types (from short to long, super straight to curly) and age ranges from 20 to 61 in about 5 hours. No one had had a trial, and yet everyone was thrilled with the outcome. We loved the results and every minute of the process. Thank you for making us look terrific!"

  • "We got married in May 2023 and I would high recommend Makeup by Ana B. I found them in summer of 2022 and they were available for my date needed. It was difficult looking for other hair/makeup vendors and trying to piece together the cost and if they were available, that is why I recommend makeup by Ana B! It is one stop shop for all of your hair and makeup needs. They will provide you with the best hair and makeup artists and it was a great experience start to finish!"
