About

Hi there! I am a native New Yorker who always knew she wanted to be a part of the cosmetic industry. I graduated from the Make-Up Designory in 2008 and have over 12 years of experience as a full time makeup artist working everything from fashion week, commercial, theater and red carpet make-up. Weddings have been a constant throughout my career and styling brides has forever been my favorite type of make-up. I love being apart of someone's special day and creating a look that makes them feel like the best version of themselves.

What sets me apart as a make-up artist is that I don't have an ego about my work. My job is to make you feel your most beautiful - whatever that means to you. If you are someone who loves all the make-up, great! Someone who only wears chapstick? That's fine! We will work together to make you feel great. Having been a bride myself, I know how stressful the process is and I aim to make it as relaxed and fun as possible. My goal is to bring a calm presence to your day so you can be confident that you and your party are going to leave on time and looking fabulous!

Loved working with Alexa!

I loved working with Alexa on my wedding day. She was kind, professional, and open to hearing my vision—exactly the kind of presence you want when planning a wedding.

During the trial, I felt completely comfortable sharing what I liked and didn’t like. Alexa listened carefully, made adjustments, and made me look and feel beautiful. On the wedding day, the results were even better than the trial.

She was wonderful with my family members and bridesmaids, making everyone look like the best version of themselves. Alexa is punctual, professional, thorough, and incredibly talented. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.

Talented, empathetic, warm, thoughtful artist

Alexa is an excellent makeup artist and I highly recommend her for your wedding day. She is a great listener and totally understood the look I wanted. I have full confidence she can adapt her style to any bride. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day and loved how everything turned out. Her prices are also reasonable. Thank you so much Alexa!!!!!!

Great experience!

Alexa was amazing to work with! I learned about her through another friend who had hired her for her wedding, and I would highly recommend her. She is professional, easy to communicate with and organized. Her personality just puts you at ease, which is definitely helpful on the big day. During the make-up trial she listened to what I was looking for. She helped me feel beautiful, playing up my strengths in a natural way, so I still looked like me. Everyone in my wedding party was super satisfied with how their make-up looked and made them feel. 10/10 would recommend!

Alex is the Best of the Best!!!

You 100% should hire Alexa as your makeup artist for your wedding, I cannot stress that enough! Alex is so lovely, knowledgeable, talented, reliable, and the type of calming presence you want on your wedding day (and leading up to). She was a dream to work with from the get-go—and that included when I had to change my wedding date due to Covid.

I found Alexa during a deep bridal dive on Instagram and after looking at her website and chatting with her on the phone, it was a done deal in my mind. And that's coming from someone who is very particular about who does her makeup (after having several subpar experiences as a bridesmaid). Then, of course, the makeup trial sealed the deal. (My mom, a makeup enthusiast, was present for my trial I'm pretty sure she fell in love with her.)

Alexa made me feel like the best version of myself on my NYC wedding day. What's more, she did a beautiful job on the other ladies--my sister, mother and mother-in-law. And our glam lasted the whole day/night. Needless to say, she knows how to make up women of all ages, skin types and tones. Girl's got range!

Go with Alexa—she's exactly who you want on your wedding dream team!

Amazing experience with Alexa!

Alexa made me feel stunning on my wedding day! Not only did she listen to what I wanted but also stayed for touchups throughout the day. She kept me calm and feeling at ease throughout the day and night. My bridal party and I looked like our best selves thanks to Alexa! Can't give a higher recommendation! Truly wonderful!!

Best makeup artist

Alexa made me and my whole group of friends and family look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She’s so calm and listens to feedback while still lending her expertise to what will photograph well and make you shine. She’s an absolute pro and the best person to have by your side to make you look your best on your wedding day!

Best makeup team!

I would not trust anyone but Alexa to do my wedding day makeup (and really all other special occasions too)! She is not only a complete expert at makeup artistry, she brings a calming presence to any bridal suite. I trust her with myself (I'm a wedding planner) and all of my clients. She's on point with trends but also really classic in her approach. She is great at keeping things natural looking - which I love and helped me to figure out what I was looking for when I really had no idea. Alexa is the best!

Look No Further Than Alexa

Alexa is AMAZING! Not only is she an amazing artist, she is super kind and has great energy and vibes - just what you need while getting ready on your wedding day. I hired Alexa after a trial appointment in 2019 for my wedding in 2020. After we postponed our wedding until summer of 2021, I used her for an engagement photo shoot. Every time she did my makeup, it was absolutely flawless, picture perfect without looking too overdone, a beautiful and natural glow. And at the wedding, lasted an entire hot and humid August day in NYC. Everyone in my bridal party (including my mother and MIL) looked gorgeous and was so thrilled with their makeup as well. I would highly recommend Alexa to anyone! And hope I have an excuse to get my makeup by her again soon!

Best of the Best

Everyone always talks about how amazing their wedding was. But if you have been looking for a makeup artist, look no further. Alexa is EVERYTHING. She made me plus 12 other women look effortless and feel the most beautiful i have ever felt. I was a 2020 bride and had my first consultation with her back in 2019! I moved my wedding twice and on the second re-schedule Alexa wasn't available. I did another trial with another vendor, and it confirmed how much I loved Alexa. When we had to schedule for the third time she was available ( thanks to having 1.5 to wait!) I am extremely picky, and with SO many people to choose from, seriously, stop looking- she's it!
