Hi! I'm a freelance makeup artist based in San Diego California. I've always been passionate about makeup and the transformative power it has. I believe that makeup should be fun and empowering. My goal is that my clients always feel confident and the best version of themselves, whether they're going to an important event or need to be camera ready.
I began my career in the beauty industry over 20 years ago in Miami Beach, Florida. Working with high end cosmetic brands including MAC, Chanel, Lancome, Laura Mercier, Estee Lauder, Helena Rubinstein and Bobbi Brown, allowed me to learn through hands on experience and formal training, a wide range of skills from natural, no-makeup looks to bold and dramatic styles on a variety of skin tones and types. I continue to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and techniques through ongoing education and attending industry events.
I am grateful to have been part of some incredible fashion events including Funkshion in Miami Beach, Magic fashion events in Las Vegas and local charity events throughout San Diego. My work has been featured on Fox 5 news San Diego, Spike TV, San Diego 6 the CW, and also published in local magazines such as Ocean Drive, GADA, San Diego Magazine, Discover Magazine and Exquisite Weddings. I currently freelance in San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles working on live events, headshots, lifestyle, corporate events, and fashion/branding photo shoots.
After many years living on the east coast, my husband and I made the choice to return to our roots in sunny California. Outside of work, you'll likely find me at the beach with my family or close friends. I have a passion for art festivals, discovering vintage treasures and immersing myself in nature.
I am grateful to have a career that enables me to assist others in looking and feeling their best.
Live Beautifully...
