Personal Shopping (Starting at $150/1 Hour)


Fun fact: While I’ve always been amazed by the confidence building power of makeup, I originally got into this business because I could not. stop. shopping! Suffice to say after decade of enthusaiam and 13 years of professional experience, my shopping prowess and product discernment is impeccable. 
Let me shop with you so that you can benefit from my expertise, and avoid pushy salespeople who ma have quotas and not your best interest at heart.
Brides love to combine this with a lesson which provides a solid base for DIY wedding makeup for an out of town wedding.

Let me help you  select the best products for you, while having a ton of fun - because that’s what makeup should be!
