Discover key responsibilities of makeup artists, from enhancing beauty to personalized client service & detail-oriented artistry.

On a Typical Day: Mixing Palettes and Serving Glam!

The sun rises, and so do I (after a highly necessary cup of coffee, of course). A true artist begins their day prepping kits—clean brushes, organized palettes, moisturized everything. Essential, beloved tools lined up like soldiers. This is our war paint, and we’re ready to create beauty magic, be it a bride's dream day glow-up or specializing on prepping models for an NYC rooftop photoshoot. No two faces are the same, so no two jobs ever are. That’s what I love!

Oh, the fabulous responsibility! You think precision-cut contour lines draw themselves? Nuh-uh! We orchestrate every stroke whilst entertaining the delightful chaos of what the beautiful day holds. Conversation here, contour there—always listening to your vision. We’re not just paddling down the river, darlings—we’re guiding the entire fabulous cruise. Meeting the dynamic desires of clients​​, mothers, influencers, you name it. A personal beauty confidant concocting individual magic? Yes, that's me.

Attention to Detail: From Brow to Lip—We Don't Skip!

Listening might just be my superpower. I adore hearing about your lives, the laughs, the stories. Why? Because that helps me tailor the artwork to fit your personality. Got freckles? I cherish every single one. High cheekbones? Darling, let's show those babies to the world!

But hold up—glossy editorial vibes aren't the only thing I vibe with. There’s still high-pressure precision! Whether it’s the perfection of a bridal glow or the seamless transition of hues for a mega fashion shoot, attention to detail isn’t just important—it’s crucial. My mission? Bring out everybody's inner icon.

The Flair, The Zest, The Kid-in-a-Candy-Store Wonder!

When did I know I wanted to do this for life? From those child-like days, my mom’s makeup collection was my playground. The instant I could hold a brush, I started blending paints—just, you know, on my canvas (faces) now. The sheer thrill as soon as imagination meets technique? YOU get to see somebody lighten up, downright dazzle right in front of you—that’s golden!

Fancy true glamour experiences or feel the rise of your own Phoenix, right from Brooklyn to Astoria? My passion sways on colorful glee and must-have’s warmed with personal touch—at the heart of vibrant city life. From intimate one-on-ones to bustling award ceremonies—if you can dream it, I can brush up on it.

Your Creative Charisma Needs Its Shimmer—Ready to Roll?
