The Cosmo Beauty Truck

A private glam suite, parked at your resort.

Most resorts charge a hefty vendor fee to bring in outside beauty teams. So we built our own salon on wheels — the only bridal beauty truck in the Riviera Maya. It rolls up steps from your suite, and your whole morning happens inside: music, mimosas, and a team of artists working in perfect light.

Bride, bridesmaids, moms — everyone gets ready together. The getting-ready photos take themselves.

$375

flat, champagne included

Rented for your whole morning with champagne and light snacks. Paid with your deposit — then it's booked for your day. 🎉

$0

resort vendor fee

Because glam happens in our space — not the resort's — most brides skip the external-vendor fee entirely.

Your stress-free morning

✦

We arrive 45 min early

Set up, lights on, playlist ready — we start exactly on time.

✦

Bride: hair 1.5–2h · makeup 1.5h

Unhurried, trial-perfected, champagne in hand.

✦

Guests: ~45 min each

Multiple artists work at once — no one waits long.

✦

Done 2–2.5h before "I do"

Time to breathe, slip into the dress, and enjoy the photos.

We build your full detailed timeline together 3–4 weeks before the wedding, once your photographer confirms arrival. Everything is handled — you just show up and glow.

Meet your artist

Hi, I'm Cristela.

Raised in San Antonio, Texas — where my makeup career started — I made my way to Texas A&M for my bachelor's degree (whoop!), and spent all four years of college behind the counter at MAC Cosmetics, learning the craft the long way.

After graduation I did the thing everyone said was crazy: I moved to Cancún to become a full-time destination-wedding makeup artist. Today I lead a hand-picked team of 15+ artists and hairstylists, I'm a proud mama to a precious baby girl (and a sweet dog), and I've had the honor of glamming more than 500 brides on the most beautiful coastline in the world.

My philosophy is simple: forget soft and subtle if that's not you. You should turn heads, own the aisle, and feel like the best version of yourself — whatever that looks like on you.

Brides always ask…

How do I avoid the resort vendor fee?

Most resorts charge a fee for outside vendors. Our Beauty Truck — a private mobile salon that parks steps from your resort — is how brides skip it: $375 flat, fits 12, champagne included.

How far in advance should I book?

We're already booking 2027. Most brides reserve 9–14 months out. Your deposit locks the date — bridesmaids and guests can be added later as your headcount confirms.

Do you work with my skin tone?

Yes — every skin tone, age, and skin type. The kit runs deep-to-fair, and every product is chosen to photograph beautifully in tropical light.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes — Afterpay and Klarna. As Cristela says: when your fiancé asks how much the makeup was, you can just say "like $13/mo babe." 😉

Can I do a trial?

Absolutely — trials are recommended if you'll be in the area before the wedding. Traveling in ahead of time? Tell us your dates in the form and we'll fit you in.

I texted / DMed and haven't heard back…
