Use the “Book Now” button to share your event details—type of event, date, getting-ready location, party size, and any helpful notes.

Bridal makeup typically takes 60–75 minutes. Bridal party members are usually 40–50 minutes each. We can run hair and makeup simultaneously to stay on schedule—the total time needed remains the same.

Individual or strip lashes are included with every makeup service. I don’t work with airbrush makeup, but my complexion techniques deliver the same flawless, long-wearing finish.
