IN MY PRO KIT
My beloved pro kit is a carefully curated rotating collection of my favorite tried & true professional & prestige makeup, tools and skincare products I love and trust for their beauty, and performance. Working long days on set and for hot California weddings has helped me hone my craft and identify the specific needs of the work I do, and what I need to create it, and make it last. As an artist who works with real people for real life situations-not just actors and models- I know that my clients needs vary, and I love having access to multiple solutions and brands depending on your needs and desired result.
PREP | Because of the diverse needs of my clientele, my skin prep product choices are always fragrance free and free of harmful chemicals, and they are all designed with cruelty free and vegan formulas. Beautycounter, Tatcha, Herbivore Botanicals, and Andrelles Natural Skincare are a few of the safer skincare brands I reach for most, trust, and love. I'm a pro makeup artist-not an esthetician. My prep work is designed for my best makeup application results and is not intended to replace or correct your regular daily skin care regimen.
COMPLEXION | I custom blend each foundation look I create across multiple brands depending on the needs of my client's skin, and their desired finish. From Laura Mercier to Face Atelier, to RCMA, TEMPTU PRO and Becca, I use a combination of textures and tones with both traditional brushes and my airbrush, often in combination, for my complexion work. I keep a global range of shades in my kit so that I can service anyone, any time.
TOOLS | I use a collection of my favorite professional natural bristled and synthetic blends in my brush kit, and each one is cleaned and sanitized between each service I provide.
LIPS | I usually leave lips to the discretion of my client. I know that we all have our favorite and what makes us feel our best. Some of us are lip balm or gloss wearers, some of us like a full lip look. I keep lots of great colors and options in my pro kit from several brands to be able to create any look or finish you prefer.
COLOR | I primarily reach for prestige and pro artistry brands like NARS, Danessa Myricks, Cozzette, Bobbi Brown, MAC, Charlotte Tilbury, and Viseart. I love color, and I own a lot, so color palettes & products tend to rotate in and out of my kit depending on the season, my mood, and my clients needs.
LASHES | I love what an enhanced lash brings to most beauty looks, so I keep a variety of styles of vegan faux lash strips and multiple lengths of individual clusters in my kit to customize the lash looks you see in my portfolios. My signature lash application service is always included with every makeup application, if desired.
MY ESTHETIC
My beauty esthetic can be best described as clean, chic, and classic with a modern twist. I love traditional beauty makeup, and I create clean, natural looks that are beautiful, comfortable, and timeless-for the camera, and up close and personal.
YOUR SERVICE
My service to you comes with a deep respect and understanding for how personal and unique an experience it is for you and each person that sits in my chair. As an artist I have a vision, however it's your comfort and peace of mind that's most important to my process, and your result. I know from experience that you'll feel the most beautiful and confident when you look and feel like the best version of yourself for any occasion. Our communication and personal connection is key to my performance, and your best experience.
OUR SAFETY
I hold the highest professional standard for safety and sanitation in my kit and workspace, and each service I provide includes its own clean set of tools and all necessary disposables and PPE. I've continued my career education with trainings and certifications during COVID and most recently certified on 8/6/2020 with Angie Di Battista's Pro Makeup Academy's Certification for Infection Prevention and Control for Professional Makeup Artists.
