I've been doing makeup professionally for over 8 years now having first worked for a prestigious cosmetics company as a regional market artist before choosing to work independently.  I have a strong knowledge of and experience with makeup for photography and television, including HD. Also included in my experience is makeup for live events, film and theatrical performances.  Aside from my commercial and corporate work, I was humbled to have won a Brides Choice Awards in 2010 and 2011!

I currently hold professional memberships with Make Up For Ever, MAC cosmetics, Bobbi Brown, Smashbox, FACE Atelier, Yaby cosmetics and OCC makeup as well as maintain a freelance relationship with Chanel cosmetics. I am continually improving upon my techniques by constantly learning and also using the newest and best products in the industry.

Makeup is my passion and I cater to each client on an individual basis. I welcome new challenges and opportunities and love meeting (and making up) new faces. Though I am located in west Michigan, I am available for travel.
