Special Event FAQ’s
Do you do weddings? I do a select number of weddings per year, so please contact me regarding availability.
Do you offer airbrush makeup? I no longer offer airbrush makeup because using silicone-based foundations via airbrush can be toxic while airborne. I use a beautifully clean and luxe HD-ready foundation that looks as flawless in person as it does in HD...because HD captures how you look in person. HD photography and film picks up exactly what you put in front of it. Depending on your skin type, airbrush foundations can look cakey, magnify skin imperfections, fine lines, and all the things that you don't want.

​
With decades of experience in the beauty industry along with being a self-proclaimed skincare junkie, I know my way around skin. I am not a licensed esthetician, but during my years of working with clients of all skin types and issues, I understand skin very well. I stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest with skincare products, treatments and procedures and can suggest products and skincare routines accordingly.
Remember, I believe in the "80/20 rule - moderation" with treatments, products, and procedures. You do you!
My job is to empower you to make informed decisions, no matter which way you decide and without any judgment from me.

PERSONAL SHOPPING
I take the guesswork and salespeople out of the cosmetic shopping experience! Since clean beauty is my jam, that is the direction I will naturally guide you toward, but I am still very up-to-date on conventional brands and their products. There will never be any judging or shaming if you want to use your favorite mascara or lipstick even when it’s not the “cleanest. “ I’m here to give you my best professional advice. I will still most likely share the safest options of them all with you!
