*contact me*

I believe that you are beautiful.  I believe that your makeup should be pretty, and that it should help you to feel your best.   It empowers us to emphasize that which we love about our appearance, and to shape how others perceive us.  maybe you line your eyes to embolden your direct, no-nonsense gaze, or add a touch of gloss to play up your half-smirking kisser.  Maybe you hi-light your heiress-shaped cheekbones, or add glow to your skin to communicate that peaceful, vibrant energy within.

In other words, I want you to work your makeup. I have been a makeup artist for over 12 years, more than 10 of those years have been in New York City.  I have an extensive private clientelle, and have worked many years with Bobbi Brown and Nars.  I started my career very early with the discovery of special effects and stage makeup.  As my dreams shifted north, I became more involved with the softer side of makeup, and have been honing my skills ever since.
