Marie Bogaert

the profile

Marie Bogaert is a wedding and fashion makeup artist and hairstylist who works between France and Marrakech, and she brings an unusually deep resume to a bridal chair. She has been working since 2006, roughly 20 years in hair and makeup, and she splits her base between La Rochelle, where part of her team sits, and Marrakech, where she takes on major weddings. Twenty years is a long time in this trade, long enough to have seen every skin type, every humidity level, and every last-minute panic a wedding morning can produce. She is also, and this is not a small detail, the head of one of Morocco's largest modelling agencies, so her eye is trained on fashion and camera-ready faces, not only on brides. She is requested well beyond Morocco too, with work in Paris, Cannes and Saudi Arabia. She speaks French, English and Arabic, which is a real practical advantage at a mixed Marrakech wedding. The useful thing about Marie for a couple is that she is not a solo artist stretched thin. She runs a team of about 12 artists, which means she can cover the bride and the full guest party, up to around 150 people, without the day collapsing into a queue. That is genuinely hard to find, and it is the reason to consider her for a big celebration where mothers, sisters and a dozen friends all want their hair and makeup done before the ceremony. The 2026 Marrakech wedding makeup guide placed her in its mid-range tier and read her style as fashion-forward and modern, with a nod to runway-inspired looks and, crucially, cohesive hair and makeup from one house rather than two vendors who never spoke. In our directory her range runs from 450 to 1,200, and the 8.5 rating reflects a strong, experienced professional at a fair price rather than the very top luxury bracket. What a couple gets is coordinated hair and makeup for the whole wedding party from a single team, with a trial, delivered by someone who has painted thousands of faces and knows what holds up under a lens and Marrakech heat. That coordination is the whole point of hiring one house for both hair and makeup: the looks match, the timing runs on one schedule, and one person is accountable for the entire party being ready, rather than two suppliers blaming each other when the clock runs late. Real bride feedback describes her as attentive and quick to adapt to what each person actually wants, which is the mark of a professional who listens rather than stamps the same face on everyone. You can see her work and reach her through marie-bogaert.com, where the wedding section and her portfolio live, and you enquire directly to build a quote around your date and party size. Here is the honest caveat, and it comes in two parts. First, because Marie runs a team of 12 and moves between France and Marrakech, confirm in writing who is actually doing the bride's own hair and makeup. If you are booking her because you want Marie herself, say so and get her name on the trial and the wedding morning, because a big-party booking can quietly become an assistant's job unless you pin it down. Second, her core is fashion and editorial, modern and camera-led, so if your dream is a heavy traditional Moroccan bridal look with full neggafa styling, confirm that is squarely in her wheelhouse before you assume it. Do a paid trial, ideally in Marrakech, so the 8.5 is tested on your face, your skin tone and your dress rather than on a lookbook. Handle those two questions, and Marie Bogaert is a rare thing in this city, one experienced house that can style an entire wedding party to a consistent, modern standard.
