As a professional makeup artist, I am skilled in all aspects of makeup application. Whether it is luxury makeup for a bride's wedding day or a special event, or a casual look for weekend activities, I can adapt my skills to meet your needs and preferences. I take into consideration what you are wearing, your setting and the lighting for any photographs being taken. I am capable of working to a tight schedule and presenting my expert opinion on what can often be an emotionally charged day.

Wedding dates are secured once a signed contract and retainer fee have both been submitted. I don’t offer soft holds due to high inquiry demand. To get more information or to receive a quote, please fill out the inquiry button at the end of this page.

I offer bridal preview (formally known as trials) appointments exclusively for my brides who have already booked.

A Bridal Preview is a chance for you to preview your wedding makeup before the big day. Previews are important for ensuring that you and your wedding makeup artist are on the same page regarding your desired look. A preview enables me to get to know you and your personal style, as well as provide an opportunity for us to go over all of the details of your wedding day look. At the end of a preview, I encourage clients to evaluate their final look so that we can make any necessary changes before the big day arrives.
Bridal previews are reserved for my booked brides only. These are schedule 2-3 months prior to your wedding. They are scheduled during the week during normal business hours only. I do not travel for previews, they are exclusively done at a studio in Saginaw, Michigan.

Absolutely! I invest in high end, long wearing professional products that are meant to last for 12 hours or more. I utilize techniques to maximize wear time. Minimal touch ups may be needed but I leave all my clients with a touch up kit and explain what to do in case you need it. I’m also available to stay for additional on-site bridal touch ups if needed as an add on service! Inquire for a quote.

I hear this a lot so you are definitely not along in feeling this way. A lot of my clients are not use to wearing a lot of makeup. I work with your natural features to accentuate your natural beauty. To make sure your makeup lasts the long hours and show up in your professional photos, more makeup than you are used too may be needed. However I am always listening to your wants and wishes to adapt and design a look to suit exactly what you desire that will last you all day and night!

The start time for wedding day makeup services is usually determined by when you will need your party ready for pictures. I work backwards from that time to decide when I should start makeup to be finished before your photographer is set to arrive.
Please note: I determine my start time and not the venue/bridal suite. If your venue has time restrictions it’s best to get ready off site at a near by hotel or airbnb to avoid time restraints that can cause delays in your wedding day.

Your retainer fee is non-refundable because it retains (reserves) your wedding date and I commit my schedule to only you on that day! This means I turn down incoming brides who inquire my services for the same date. But not only that, behind the scenes I invest much time planning for your event, on top of working your actual event date as well! So, the retainer fee also covers my time and resources working prior to your event including, but not limited to, responding to client emails, answering questions, discussing personal makeup preferences/concerns, issuing contracts, processing bookings, product inventory management, restocking specific products catered for you and your ladies, client scheduling, event timeline coordination with you and your other vendors, thoroughly sanitizing products prior to your services... the list continues on! If you have to change your date, I totally understand, however I do this process all over again, which is why the retainer fee is also non-transferrable.
