Ms. Painted Lady

Ms. Painted Lady runs two brands, Ms. Painted Lady and MPL Artists, and is also called MPL Makeup & Hair. The studio is at 7511 Main St in Frisco, Texas. Alexandria Angel founded Ms. Painted Lady in 2008, and the MPL team came together in 2021 under her direction.

Alexandria began training makeup artists in workshops in 2011 and, from 2012, ran a nationwide search for makeup artists to build a team. The business says it has served more than 1,293 Desi brides, marked its one thousandth Desi wedding in June 2022, and provided services for the Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez in 2019.

Bridal work is built around a 12 month Desi Bride package. It covers makeup, hair and draping, custom moodboards and a curated skin care plan. A lead artist works with each client on a personalized beauty plan, skin care treatments are provided through a partnership with a Desi-owned dermatology spa, and stylists advise on wardrobe and accessories. For each wedding, the team creates a custom beauty map with guidance on hair extensions, florals and accessories.

Wedding party packages bring the studio to the client's location for makeup and hair styling. The business also offers a 12 month artist workshop, one-on-one or in groups and as one-day or multi-day sessions, along with corporate events and private parties. It has published a Desi Bridal ebook as a wedding planning guide.

The business describes its team as Texas's top rated bridal makeup team and as the nation's top team of South Asian makeup and hair artists. It says both brands have been critically acclaimed and have received international acknowledgments and awards. Package pricing is published on the site.

Artists blend traditional and modern elements in bridal looks, and the business publishes its package pricing on its site.
