Signature Wedding Makeup investment
My signature bridal glam embodies the elevated look you’ve always envisioned: think skin-like complexions, beautiful neutral and earth tones, punctuated by romantic pops of color for the cheeks and lips. This look translates onto camera with incredible elegance and longevity.
Experience Meets Calm on Your Wedding Day

My background working with celebrities, C-Suite executives, and hundreds of brides isn't just a resume—it's why I’m prepared for your big day. I thrive in high-stakes environments, ensuring I bring calm and confidence to every beautiful moment. If your wedding morning has many moving parts, I'd love to be your dedicated partner on-site.
Your Comprehensive Bridal Investment can Include:

Day-of Bridal Application: Expert application on your wedding day.
Final Touch-Up Hour: Up to one hour of on-site touch-ups applied once you are fully dressed.
TMA’s point of view
minimalist makeup for all skintones & complexions
For this radiant bride you shown here, #Temptu Airbrush formula was used to enhance her natural glow. I believe starting with a clean and organized space and a pampering skincare routine before the glam even begins. I created a soft, glowing timeless look with long lasting foundation, subtle contouring and a touch of highlight to accent her beauty. Neutral eye-shadows are used to never overpower; leaving you feeling radiant and confident just like Nikki.
I believe: “Makeup should project a romantic you, not a different you!”
airbrush formulation
Airbrush makeup is a real favorite among the TMA Brides (around 80% choose it!)
WHAT IS IT: this technique applies a liquid foundation with an air gun, creating an even coverage.
VALUE ADD: This formula is so sheer that its’ almost undetectable. It’s for the MINIMALIST BRIDE. Feels incredibly light and breathable, designed to enhance your natural beauty without feeling heavy or cakey on your skin.
LONGEVITY: Average wear time is up to 10 hours,

Why is derma-plane": Facial peach fuzz can trap dirt, oil, and makeup, leading to a less smooth application. By removing it with facial shaving, you create a perfect canvas that allows your makeup to glide on evenly and look cleaner.
Requires: specialized equipment and a skilled artist.
