The Artist

“Makeup is the one art form that disappears at the end of the day — which means every application is its own original.”

Trained at the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, Maya Lindqvist has spent 12 years working across editorial, film, and bridal. Her considered approach has shaped faces for Minnesota Bride, Twin Cities Live, and North Shore brides seeking something quietly extraordinary.

A few details

Do you travel for bookings?

Yes. Maya regularly travels for bookings across the Twin Cities, Greater Minnesota, and the surrounding Midwest. Travel details are confirmed when you book.

How far in advance should I book for my wedding?

For weddings, booking three to six months ahead is recommended. Peak summer dates can fill earlier, so booking early is always wise.

What’s included in a bridal trial?

A bridal trial includes a relaxed consultation, skin preparation, a complete makeup look, and time to refine the details before the wedding day.

Do you travel outside Minnesota?

Yes. Maya is available for destination weddings, editorials, campaigns, and film projects across the Midwest and beyond.
