What to expect

Whether you’re booking me for your wedding day, a special event, or professional photos, my goal is to make the experience seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to finish.

1. Initial Consultation

We’ll start with a quick call or email exchange to discuss your event, vision, and any specific needs. For weddings and larger events, I recommend scheduling a trial to fine-tune your look in advance.

2. Customized Look

Every client is unique. I’ll create a personalized makeup look based on your features, preferences, outfit, and the tone of your event. I specialize in natural, glowing beauty—but I love creating bold and glam looks too, if that’s your vibe!

3. Day-of Experience

On the day of your event, I’ll arrive on time (or early), fully equipped and ready to work. I use high-quality, camera-ready products designed to last through the day and into the night. I bring a calm, organized energy to help keep your schedule on track and your nerves at ease.

4. Touch-ups & Final Details

Before I leave, I make sure everything is set—lips perfect, skin glowing, lashes flawless. For brides or those on camera, I’ll guide you through any touch-up tips or offer a small kit for later in the day, if needed.

5. Professionalism You Can Count On

With over 16 years of experience working behind the scenes on TV, live events, and editorial shoots, I understand the importance of being reliable, discreet, and detail-oriented. You can trust me to deliver results that look amazing in person and on camera.
