I don’t believe in rushed, one-size-fits-all makeup. We take our time to ensure flawless, buttery-soft skin, big romantic eyes, and the perfect pouty lip. Every detail is meticulously perfected to create a look that is both breathtaking and long-lasting.

Quality Over Quantity

I don’t cut corners, and I never settle for "good enough." Quick 30-minute bridal looks? Not here. I wont let my clients walk away from my chair untill I am 100% happy with the way they look 

Integrity

Hard work and an obsessive dedication to perfection are at the core of everything I do. This isn’t just a job for me; it’s a craft, an art form, and a responsibility I take seriously.

Hard work and good ethic

I want every bride to have that moment when she looks in the mirror and is shocked at how stunning she looks. 

Transformation

I believe in honesty, transparency, and a true desire to help every bride feel her absolute best. If my client ends up hating her makeup I will refund her all her deposits because I truly want to work with people who are 100% happy with my work and want me to be there on their special day. 

Authenticity & Genuine Care

believe that bridal makeup should be a work of art—never rushed, never generic, and never just "good enough." I don’t believe in quick 30-minute bridal looks—to me, that’s lazy and lacks integrity. A bride deserves a polished, full-glam transformation that still feels like her, just the most breathtaking version of herself. I accomplish this by always  prioritizing:

Devin Covitz

I like to think I’m pretty good at doing my makeup and getting dolled up, so it was really important for me to find an artist that could feel my very best on my wedding day.  I booked her for tw welcome party and wedding and she was worth EVERY penny. I have never felt more beautiful. She came up with two different looks, and both were perfect. I also cannot recommend a trial more. Both myself and my mother got one. We had a great time doing it together and it was great getting comfortable and talking through my vision.
