Introduction

My main goal is to make you feel confident when you enter the room. Whether you are looking for a clean bridal look, soft glam makeup or a fierce look for a photo shoot. I thrive to execute that individual and unique look that you want. I have been in the beauty industry for 11+ years and have a love for making others feel beautiful. I am a graduate of Blush School of Makeup in San Francisco and have had the privilege to be instructed by many talented and established makeup artists. At Blush is where I was able to fine tune my skills in HD Makeup, Stage makeup, Airbrushed makeup, Bridal makeup, Runway makeup and Special effects makeup. Before graduating Blush School of Makeup, I focused on strengthening my ability to work on all skin types by working for Bare Minerals for over 5 years. In these years I worked on hundreds of faces with different tones, textures and maturity levels. While working for BareMinerals I was able to learn more about sister companies like, NARS, Laura Mercier, Buxom, Shisheido, Burberry and how to use and apply their products. Currently I work as a Beauty advisor at Sephora and I'm constantly educating and applying new skills and techniques I learn to give my clients the best service. Above all the moments I share with my clients is what I cherish most and love making our time together something that you will cherish as well.

Q&A

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I in dance, so putting make up on for performances was something I was doing as a little girl. It wasn’t until I graduated high school that I found myself doing my friends graduation make up, and so on. Seeing my clients reactions to their transformation, and how makeup can truly improve. Someone’s confidence is what lead me to begin working the beauty industry.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently did a wedding party with another make up artist, the bridal party was cheerful and kind. I worked on for bridesmaids that day. It took about 4 1/2 hours to complete the make up looks.
