My makeup journey started at Ulta Cosmetics where I then moved to into management for Laura Mercier and MAC Cosmetics. I’m currently working with Stila Cosmetics and doing make up from my home studio. While my modeling career started in 2024, a friend of mine invited me to a princess themed photoshoot; from that day, I fell in love with seeing myself on camera and dressing up - basically a dream for any kid that grew up with a wild imagination like myself.

In 2024, my modeling career began. A friend of mine invited me to a princess themed photoshoot – from that day, I fell in love with seeing myself on camera and dressing up. A dream for any kid that grew up with a wild imagination like myself. The highlight of my modeling career would have to be modeling in The Seattle Wedding Show 2025, and don't get me started on all the amazing and talented people I am able to meet through these shoots.

Marissa is the kind of person who turns heads and keeps minds engaged. She's not just stunning, she's sharp, quick-witted, and totally in her element wherever she goes. Marissa is a blend of brilliance and beauty who is highly sought after for modeling. I would highly recommend hiring her!

Marissa was a pleasure to work with. She had a great attitude and was a go getter when it came to helping out. She jumped at the chance to play the character however we asked, worked hard and would do her lines over and over again until everyone felt it was just right. She wasn't afraid to embody the character that was asked of her or to put in the hard work to not only memorize her lines, but also her mannerisms. Along with acting, she also helped with make-up whenever needed and was there for filming to help even if she wasn't in the scene. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future projects

Marissa has a warm, genuine personality, and it was an absolute joy to photograph with her. She arrived makeup-ready and beautifully styled, bringing both professionalism and creativity to the shoot. Her great sense of style, natural ability to express a range of emotions, and appreciation for the creative process made collaborating with her effortless and inspiring. It was truly a pleasure to create something beautiful and meaningful together.

I would like to give a shout-out to Marissa Garnett. I’ve been honored to have done a number of photoshoots with Marissa. Two sessions resulted in publications. Marissa is professional and confident. Even better, she has a wonderfully positive personality and a great sense of humor. Collaboration with her is a delight.
