makeup services
As a professional Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist, I specialize in diverse verticals including: commercial advertising, high-fashion editorial, luxury bridal beauty, and red carpet event glam.
"From creating an authentic look for major campaigns to ensuring the perfect bridal glow, my dedication is ensuring you look and, most importantly, feel your absolute best. I am known for my signature natural minimalist makeup look—I intentionally avoid the heavy, cakey, or traditional application. My curated professional kit and light-handed technique offers a stunning, smashing look where you still feel completely like your most radiant self."
The first step with TMA is scheduling a focused Zoom consult where we can chat about your aesthetic and ensure we're on the same page before your actual appointment.

A Warm & Collaborative Bridal Beauty Experience
The heart of my wedding makeup work is fostering a warm and collaborative connection. I believe in building meaningful client relationships that extend far beyond your wedding day.
Over 300 brides have trusted me, not just for achieving a stunning, authentic wedding look, but for providing an intimate beauty experience where they felt truly heard, seen and celebrated. Sharing those tender, private moments and witnessing your radiant, genuine happiness on your wedding morning is one of the best moments of my career.
Booking Your Dream Wedding Artist
To secure your date and ensure I have ample time for planning, I recommend reaching out 6 to 12 months ahead of your wedding. I look forward to being the calming, creative, and professional presence you need as you prepare for your BIG day!

Reimagined: Authentic Headshot & Portrait Makeup
Your headshot isn't just a picture; it's your authentic professional face card. My focus is crafting camera-ready makeup that shines under any light—whether you're in a studio or on-location—to showcase your natural features with genuine depth and clarity in every photo.
"My professional kit is packed with high-definition (HD) products, rich creams, and shades that are carefully chosen to look incredible on all skin tones.”
This whole process is designed to be a customized, stress-free session that delivers results. We kick things off with a in-depth Zoom conversation to get on the same page. That focused approach ensures you walk away feeling completely ‘beautifully ready.’"

Derma-planing helps achieve this by creating a smooth and even surface to your makeup. It’s a caring step that removes those tiny peach fuzz hairs that can dull your complexion on time. By revealing the brighter skin underneath, your radiance can truly shine thru.
