Wedding and bridal makeup with an editorial tone.
I like to focus on fresh, radiant, glowing, healthy skin. Juicy, stained lips. Clean lines, smokey eyes, and full yet soft, natural brows. I want you to look fresh and full of love, naturally sultry, sweet, confident.
My job is more than just to "make you pretty." A huge part of my job is to bring all that inner beauty to the very surface in order to empower you. I want my services to get you to fully embody those feelings of love and confidence so you can bring your true and best self to the altar, so to speak!
I really enjoy the connection that I make with my clients ... Everyone comes with their own story, their history, their joys and losses, their humor. They come with a huge amount of love on their wedding day; sometimes some worry, and, my favorite part is the role I play in relaxing my clients and putting them at ease during their makeup application. It makes everything feel so real and solid when the whole look is put together, and I really love being a part of that transformation.
My training came from quite a few years of experience (started working with makeup professionally in 1998) with Sebastian Trucco, MAC, and Benefit. Cosmetology at SFIEC in San Francisco, 2008. Internationally Certified Makeup Artist. TRUE Certified makeup artist.
Background in: Lifestyle makeup (editorial), makeup and hairstyling for the performing arts (SF Ballet, SF Opera, West Edge Opera), and in Bridal. Some music video cred, some commercial video credit ... The majority of my professional work has been for makeup meant for the camera. I love editorial work and I find the meticulousness of photoshoot styling to be incredibly enjoyable. This has rolled into my work as a bridal MUA.
