Candied YAMS Makeup Artistry

When you book Candied Y.A.M.S Beauty Consulting with Neci D., you can expect a professional, uplifting, and luxury-level experience that goes beyond makeup—it’s a full beauty encounter designed to restore confidence, elevate presence, and celebrate purpose.

Every session begins with a personalized consultation to understand your vision, comfort level, and unique features. From there, I curate a look that enhances your natural beauty, aligns with your event or image goals, and ensures you feel both radiant and relaxed throughout the process.

As a former beauty educator and account coordinator for luxury brands such as NEST New York, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Sephora, I bring over a decade of industry expertise, artistry precision, and insider tips to every booking. Clients can expect professional-grade products, sanitation, and artistry standards that reflect both creativity and excellence.

For virtual services, I provide one-on-one beauty coaching, faith-centered image consulting, and interactive sessions designed to empower clients with techniques they can master at home. My Shopping Buddy Service offers guided product selections tailored to your skin tone, style, and budget—ensuring you invest wisely in what truly works for you.

Corporate clients can expect dynamic, morale-boosting sessions that merge style education with motivational teaching—perfect for sales teams, executives, and public-facing professionals who want to refine their brand image while boosting confidence and team spirit.

Every client receives the YAMSGLAM™ experience—a blend of artistry, encouragement, and transformation that honors both inner strength and outer glow. Whether glam for the camera, an intimate bridal party, a stage performance, or a virtual masterclass, I create beauty moments that leave lasting impressions long after the event ends.

✨ Expect professionalism. Expect compassion. Expect transformation. Most of all, expect to see yourself in a new light.

I’m Neci D., professional makeup artist, beauty educator, and founder of Candied Y.A.M.S Makeup Artistry, now evolving into Candied Y.A.M.S Beauty Consulting—a renewed brand dedicated to inner beauty, outer radiance, and faith-centered confidence.

For over a decade, I’ve had the honor of helping clients look and feel their best across the beauty and luxury retail industries. My journey began behind the artistry counters of Sephora and evolved through partnerships with Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Esteé Lauder Brands, and NEST New York Fragrances, where I specialized in event hosting, education, and client styling for beauty enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Through the years, my philosophy has remained the same: true beauty begins within. Every brushstroke, color match, and confidence-boosting conversation is an opportunity to reveal the light that’s already in you. My signature YAMSGLAM™ approach combines expert technique, genuine encouragement, and personalized care for every client I serve—virtually or in person.

In addition to my artistry work, I am a public speaker and beauty consultant, offering virtual styling sessions, educational masterclasses, personal shopping guidance, and corporate image workshops designed to elevate both appearance and morale. My mission is to help clients, brands, and professionals alike rediscover their radiance through faith, creativity, and authentic self-expression.

Whether you’re preparing for a special event, building a professional image, or simply learning how to bring out your best glow every day, I’m here to help you shine—beautifully, confidently, and purposefully.
