Hi beautiful,
Nice to meet you!
First and foremost, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to visit my work! I'm sure that you have many questions on how it all works, so I've put together some helpful information in hopes that it will make things a little easier for you.
Being able to be part of someones special day, like their wedding, is such an amazing feeling. I'm proud to say that in the last 11 years, I've applied makeup on over 350 brides and fortunate enough to have worked on an array of skin tones, from the lightest porcelains to the deepest ebonies. Setting a trial run prior to your wedding date helps alleviate any uncertainties and helps you envision what you will look like on your big day, making your day run a lot smoother.
A Bridal Trial
"Would you buy a wedding dress without trying it on? The same principle applies when choosing a makeup artist. A trial run is a must for all of my potential brides. It’s an opportunity to build a connection, ensure your makeup ideas complement your unique facial features, and, most importantly, confirm that none of the products cause any allergies. It’s always better to be safe than sorry—especially when you’re just moments away from walking down the aisle!
While I love hearing 'I trust you, you're the artist,' a little direction is still needed, as this is no ordinary night-out look. I always recommend bringing a few images of makeup styles you’re drawn to. Together, we’ll discuss what you love about each look and adapt them to fit your vision and features.
I also suggest scheduling your bridal trial for an engagement photo shoot or save-the-date session. This way, you’ll not only get to see how your makeup looks in photos, but you’ll also have a chance to experience how it wears throughout the day.
Bridal trials are typically scheduled 3-4 months before the big day to ensure we have plenty of time to perfect your look.
To help me craft a look that works best for you, it’s helpful to choose photos of individuals with similar features and skin tones. This allows us to adapt the makeup to suit your face and vision, so we can highlight your natural beauty in the most authentic way possible. After all, makeup should work with what you already have, not against it."
Your Bridal Squad
"Yes, it’s your big day, and it should absolutely be all about you—but let’s not forget the important people standing by your side, aside from your lucky husband-to-be. From the dress and shoes to hair and makeup, it can add up for your bridesmaids. While some brides offer their bridesmaids the option to do their own makeup or just show up ready, it's important to remember that consistency in your wedding day photos should be a priority.
In today’s beauty industry, there are plenty of "makeup artists" out there, but not all artists are created equal. If a bridesmaid shows up with mismatched foundation, an over-the-top highlighter, or a bright lip that doesn’t fit with your aesthetic, it can throw off the entire look of your wedding party. The last thing you want is to look back on your photos and notice that the looks of your bridal party don't complement yours. Let me help ensure that everyone looks polished and cohesive, so your photos will be as beautiful as the memories."
My Wedding is Out of the Area
"Whether your wedding is in Downtown Sacramento, Guanajuato, Mexico, or the South of France, I’ve got you covered. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working on several destination weddings and have the expertise to ensure you look your best, no matter the location. From beachside ceremonies to desert weddings, I know the right combination of products to keep your makeup flawless. We’ll discuss all the details ahead of your bridal trial to ensure everything is perfectly tailored to your unique wedding day."
Will My Makeup Last
"Nobody wants to see streaks of mascara or eyeliner running down their face on film, which is why I take extra care to ensure your lashes are reinforced and your mascara and eyeliner are waterproof. I also tailor my skin prep to your unique skin type and use a strategic layering technique to keep your makeup looking flawless all day long.
While your lipstick may need a quick touch-up and you might experience a little shine, your makeup will stay put from the ceremony to the last dance. Naturally, makeup can block pores and lead to some oil production, but don’t worry—blotting sheets can easily handle that!
For those who want complete peace of mind, I also offer the option to stay with you throughout the wedding to ensure you look picture-perfect every moment of the day. If this sounds like the ideal option for you, let’s discuss the details!"
Bridal Hair
"My specialty is makeup, and while many assume I also offer bridal hair services, I focus exclusively on makeup. Although I’m familiar with a variety of hairstyles, I prefer to leave hair to the experts. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible bridal hairstylists, and I’d be happy to recommend trusted professionals to complement your look."
Expectations vs Reality
"Makeup is an art, and while we can get close to perfection, it's important to ask—what is perfection, really? In a world where AI-generated makeup photos can give us flawless, smooth, and "perfect" looks, it’s easy to get caught up in the idea of chasing an unattainable standard. But true beauty isn't about flawless skin or symmetry. It’s about embracing what makes you unique—your features, your personality, your individuality.
Fine lines, minor imperfections, and small variations in your skin are all part of what makes you, you. These are the qualities that give you character, that set you apart from anyone else, and that are worth celebrating. We can aim for a polished, glowing look that enhances your natural beauty, but in doing so, we’ll embrace the real, unfiltered you."
My Purpose
"The most rewarding part of my work is seeing the joy on my client's face when they see their final look. My goal is to create a timeless, beautiful makeup application that not only enhances your features but also leaves you feeling confident and radiant. Most importantly, I aim to ensure you still look like you—just the best version of yourself."
