About

Greetings, Gorgeous Bride-To-Be!

I am a Makeup Artist, Natural Beauty Expert and Wellness Coach. My mission is to enhance your natural beauty and help you feel like the Goddess you are. My mom taught me at a young age that, "When you look good, you feel good!" I later learned that the reverse is also true - that when you feel good, you look even better. These powerful ideas have shaped my lifestyle, my self-esteem, and my professional philosophy.

For over 16 years, I have worked as a celebrity and fashion makeup artist to help hundreds of models and clients look their best. My entry into the fashion world, however, coincided with my own beauty concerns. I had been suffering with cystic acne for years and found little relief from conventional treatments. Rather than settling for medications with possible side effects, I decided to take a holistic approach. I transitioned to a whole-foods, plant-based diet and embraced natural healing modalities such as acupuncture, herbs, cleansing, yoga and meditation. I gradually found that my skin began to heal. In addition, I improved my overall wellness and felt proud of adopting a conscious, environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

In the next phase of my transformation, I began to examine the ingredients in beauty products. I was surprised to find that most commercial brands contained chemicals that were toxic to our bodies as well as the environment. Yet, I was not convinced that we have to sacrifice our health to achieve beauty, so I spent years researching and testing cosmetics that are free of harmful ingredients. I was excited to find safe and healthy products that still delivered the beautiful results we all desire.

After several years of sharing my story with family and friends, I realized a deep, genuine desire to help empower others to make healthy choices their diet and lifestyle. I decided to attend the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and became a Certified Wellness Coach. I had the opportunity to train with visionary leaders in mind-body medicine such as Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil, Marianne Nestle, and David Wolfe. My time at IIN was transformative and it deepened my commitment to help women discover the natural connection between our inner health and outer beauty.

As a makeup artist, I am dedicated to using products that are safe, sustainable and effective. And as a Green Beauty Wellness Coach, I am passionate about educating women on the benefits of a nourishing, plant-based lifestyle and beauty routine.

"My mother, bridesmaids and I cannot thank Rebecca enough for making us all look absolutely amazing for my wedding. Her work is incredible and her calm, sweet demeanor also made the whole morning and afternoon go smoothly." - Suzie

The only real “natural” wedding makeup artist

I use mostly organic makeup products (I’m especially particular about what goes directly onto my skin). When it came to finding a makeup artist for my wedding, I searched and searched and couldn’t find anyone who uses — even as part of their arsenal — non-toxic products. I even had a trial with someone whose aesthetic is “clean” and “natural” but her products were not — my eyes teared the whole time and I couldn’t wait to get home to wash off the heavy-feeling, smelly foundation. I was so close to doing my own makeup for the big day until the brilliant Jenette Serrins (of Being in LA and Jennette All Natural Skincare) asked her celeb makeup artist client and friend for a rec. That’s where the amazing Katey Denno comes in — she recommended her new-to-LA friend Rebecca. We met for a trial where Rebecca quickly won me over with her intelligence, bright smile, zen energy and amazing makeup artistry! (Her makeup kit is 100 percent organic/non-toxic; she introduced me to so many new and fun lipsticks, eye shadows, foundations, etc!) Over the course of many emails and two in-person trials, Rebecca and I chatted through/ tried a few ideas including a super glam look and a natural look (she is versatile!). She dealt with my indecision/pre-wedding nerves/fatigue with patience and kindness — two traits that are absolutely essential on the day-of. Rebecca’s grounding energy and sweetness made the chaotic “getting ready” portion of the day that much more seamless. My bridesmaids loved her and looked absolutely gorgeous. She even gave me a wedding gift of amazing products. There is literally no one else like Rebecca for wedding makeup — book her ASAP.

Loved rebecca!

Rebecca was fantastic! She is responsive, timely, and really puts you at ease. I loved her focus on natural beauty and she really did a great job on my makeup. During my makeup trial and on my wedding day, Rebecca showed me both her skill at what she does and was open to listening to what I wanted for my look. I felt like she was one of the few makeup artists I met who really wanted to work with me and make sure I felt good going into my wedding. She was truly a comfort during the wedding prep and I felt incredibly confident going into my wedding.

She even provided a recommendation for my hair vendor, Julia Rose, who turned out great as well. One of the best choices I made for my wedding vendors!

Absolutely Amazing

I found Rebecca via one of my favorite eco bloggers (EcoCult) and decided to reach out when I couldn't find any other clean makeup artists near us (Upstate NY). Our first phone conversation was so natural - we were able to solidify the details without being overly formal or stiff.

My first trial was before my engagement shoot, and I LOVED the results. We had our photos taken in December and the look fit perfectly. A few months later I realized I wanted something a bit more toned down for an October wedding, and Rebecca worked with me to schedule another trial (at a discounted rate) and we got to catch up again before the big day!

Rebecca helped make our lives easier for the wedding weekend by volunteering to ride the bus all the way from New York City to Oneonta, and then was beyond flexible allowing my father to pick her up the morning of and our hairstylist to drive her back to catch the bus home.

Rebecca instantly feels like a part of your family, and she makes every woman feel like the radiant goddess that she is. She does a phenomenal job of balancing how much makeup you need to show up in photos while still making everyone look like an elevated version of themselves. Regardless of your wedding location, I highly recommend working with Rebecca for your big day.
