Congratulations for your Upcoming Wedding!

Do you want to be relaxed and stress free on your Special Day? Well....look no further...

My Professional Team of On-Location Makeup Artists and I are dedicated to making your wedding day as beautiful and glamorous as you imagine. We ensure that you and everyone in your Bridal party will look their very best. Whether you're the all out glam girl or the girl next door, you will get a customized, beautifully blended and precisely applied Makeup look with the right foundation and colors for your skin tone. I will travel to the location of your preference as early or as late in the day as you need. Your wedding makeup will be applied as discussed in your Trial Run and once you're ready, you'll have plenty of time to get dressed and ready for your big day!

I am currently licensed as an Aesthetician, in other words… a skin care therapist. My 16+ years in cosmetics means that I am highly trained in makeup artistry and I am completely comfortable working with all ages and on any ethnicity. Most importantly, I am professional, on time and I will do everything possible to ensure that you have the best experience! The only thing you have to do is Relax...

On-Site Bridal Makeup Services

Bridal Makeup with MAC Pro Airbrush Foundation - $175 (includes complementary Full Size MAC Lipstick and Gloss)

Trial Run • We spend about an hour together creating a look that will leave no surprises for the big day. Test shots are taken to ensure the application is picture perfect. A virtual road map is drawn out detailing every last product and its placement. Trials allow your wedding day to go as smoothly as possible. Doing day of the ceremony makeup is much easier and faster when you know exactly what your look is going to be! The Wedding Day • The agreed look is recreated. All those without a trial are still more than welcome to have an application. Please contact me for rates.
