How did you get started?
I have always loved art. Being around art. Being around color.
I was always fascinated by the visage and stylization since I was a teenager. It is my passion, my love, and my life.
Tell me about your favorite wedding last season.
I don’t have my favorite one simply because I enjoy every single one I am involved. The whole process of preparations, consultations always brings me closer to my clients.
I feel very emotional with all of my brides and their bridal parties, kind of like part of their family.
How far out should a bride pay a deposit to secure your services for her wedding day?
Actually, deposit it’s a very important part of the booking. Deposit secure wedding day and should be paid as soon as the bride is 100% sure to book our services. Days not secured with deposit are open to anyone who is interested in booking our services.
What is included when a couple books your services for their wedding?
I offer different packages to personalize clients needs, the best is to contact me to discuss everything.
How do you help couples customize their wedding?
I offer a free consultation which allows me to meet my clients and understand their needs and personalized they services.
What is one interesting fact about your services?
I find nothing more inspiring or challenging than to be a part of a creative team where all our ideas collectively make the beautiful work.
However, if you add a little bit of heart and hard work, you are able to create a true masterpiece. The piece, of the most beautiful art on a human face.
This is exactly what I am doing, I enhance the real beauty, which resides in every woman.
What do you have planned for the future?
I would love to focus on the growth of my company and in the near future to be able to do all services in my own studio.
How many people can you accommodate? (i.e bridal party makeup)
up to 8, when the timing is limited I have artists who help me with bigger bridal parties if necessary.
What makes your services unique?
My ability to adapt to various different looks.
Whether I am working backstage on a parade, on location for a fashion shoot or in a studio, being flexible and easy-going to bring out the best in any subject. Having regular exposure to production give me an understanding of the entire team workflow and adjust to the circumstances required in not only meeting but exceeding creative briefs.
