I am from Calgary and work as a Calgary mobile makeup artist for weddings, events, photo shoots etc. I am also available for travel to Canmore, Banff and the surrounding area.
2. What do you love about your art? How did you get into makeup/hair?
I love making women feel beautiful. It's the passion that drives me as a makeup artist to always do my best and how I approach each and every client.
I got into makeup at a young age and have been working as a professional makeup artist for over 10 years. My Aunt worked for M.A.C when I was 12, and ever since then I loved makeup and wanted to be a makeup artist.
3. What do you love about weddings?
I specialize in bridal makeup because I love the romance. It's always such an honor to be apart of one of the most important days of someones life.
4. Where did you train/study?
I trained at Blanche Macdonald in Vancouver
5. What lines of makeup do you use? Why?
I use a lot Stila, Armani, Bobbi Brown, and Cargo. I work with these brands because they are prestigous, and luxurious; these brands also have amazing quality products.

I love a soft smokey eye, with a classic nude lip.

My dream wedding location would probably be Paris!!
