I started this company to fulfill my passion for makeup artistry and to offer an affordable option to everyday women who require services of a makeup professional. So many artists in this area charge hundreds of dollars for a single application and I believe you should not have to break your budget to get beautiful makeup application. I have done thousands of makeup applications over the past 12 years in a retail and professional setting. Most of my work has been makeup application for bridal or special events (proms, formals, etc) as well as teaching women of all ages how to apply everyday makeup, enhance their best features, cover acne or discolorations, or even how to care for their skin. My kit has a wide variety of products from Urban Decay, Clinique, Benefit, Lancôme, Anastasia, and more. I use Graftobian HD creme makeup which offers amazing coverage but looks incredibly natural and photographs beautifully. Please contact me for more information on rates and availability!
