I am a native Houstonian, grew up on 10 acres out in Magnolia, TX. I get asked all the time how I fell into the business. Truth is I wanted to be a writer but had no idea where I wanted to attend college. (Now I know you’re judging my writing skills.) Having no clue where this would take me, I began my career 17 years ago working at Clinique, sharpening my application skills and getting my feet wet in the wedding industry. (This is where my love & knowledge of skincare began.) After a few years, I was recruited to work for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in the Houston Galleria. After 5 years with Bobbi Brown, I gained a better understanding of skin tones/color matching which is often done wrong and you don't realize it until you get your photos back to find your face is a totally different color than your body.
In 2016, I took a leap of faith and branched out as a freelance makeup artist in Houston to focus on weddings and on location services. From there I worked as the National Makeup Artist/Trainer where I was able to teach others my knowledge of artistry, correct skin-tone matching, and perfecting the 'Makeup Lesson'. Today, I service clients on-location for all occasions and take joy in making others look and feel beautiful!
I feel like some may think hiring a makeup artist is over the top. Truth is, any occasion is a great reason to look like a polished yet natural version of yourself. Makeup doesn't have to be dramatic when done by a professional. Have a special dinner or hosting a party? No need to worry about one more thing. Relax, pop some champagne and let us do all the work in the comfort of your own home/hotel.
Let's be honest, each artist has their specialty and typically you can judge based on their personal makeup style. While I can recreate just about any look and give you full glam if you need it, I stay on the natural side. Don’t get me wrong, I love creating a bold and beautiful smokey eye. I think my biggest pet peeve is seeing heavy or cakey makeup. I like for skin to look like skin; there are ways to cover up problem areas without looking like it’s piled on. It’s also important to know when to wear what. There is a time and a place for winged eyeliner and heavy contouring and that time is not while you're grocery shopping or going to Grandma's 85th birthday party. Rest assured, I will guide you in the right direction for each occasion.
