Intro

I never really thought I'd start doing this whole blog thing, but here I am. I'm starting to do makeup for weddings and other events, so this is a way for me to show everyone my work and communicate my point of view.

I'm a part-time makeup artist, among the many other things I do. I've done special-events makeup for myself (of course) and my friends for years. I realized, when I was planning my & the husband's wedding, that wedding makeup was something I could see myself doing. I worked at a department store cosmetics counter whose line had an emphasis on natural, but playful, beauty. My philosophy is to use makeup to bring out each woman's natural beauty.

Be warned, I may also occasionally post about makeup/beauty trends that I see, especially some of the crazy, almost nonsensical skin care claims out there. I'm also a skin care nut!


Over time, I'll be posting photos of my work. At first, they'll be photos of myself, but I'm working on building my portfolio. Pricing is $40 for special events, $60 for weddings (I am willing to work out discount pricing for groups). Please let me know if you are interested!
