With almost a decade of experience in makeup artistry, I specialize in what my clients refer to as “wearable art”. Whether you’re a photographer looking for a specific editorial look, or a bride wanting to look (& feel!) their best on their wedding day- I’m here to help bring your vision to life. 

PASS

Backstage

As a professional makeup artist, I believe in the power of using the right products to achieve flawless results. Over the years, I’ve experimented with numerous brands and products, always seeking the perfect balance between luxury and pro-grade performance. Today, I’d like to share some of my current go-to products that have earned a permanent spot in my makeup kit.

Here are some of my top picks:

RCMA: Known for its professional-grade foundations and setting powders, RCMA never fails to deliver a flawless finish. Why I love it: its versatility, most brands only have a foundation with a pigment to wax ration of 20 pigment/ 80 wax, RCMA has a 50/50 ration… meaning that you can sheer this cream foundation out and still be left with a pretty full coverage base. They also don’t formulate their products with ingredients known to be irritating to the skin and clog pores.

A staple in the beauty industry, MAC offers a wide range of products that cater to every skin tone and type. MAC has always been one of my top brands and thats because they effortlessly combine a pro-products and consumer grade products into one thing. They’re always reinventing the wheel and coming out with something new and innovate thats marketed towards pros and everyday makeup wearers.

Charlotte Tilbury: This brand is synonymous with luxury. From her iconic Magic Cream to the beautiful eyeshadow palettes, Charlotte Tilbury products are luxurious but also bring the heat in terms of performance. All of her products have been formulated with the best ingredients but also the most long lasting ingredients, so much so that I whenever I want a product I know will last- I’m reaching for Charlotte.

Viseart: Renowned for its high-pigment eyeshadow palettes, Viseart is a must-have for creating bold, vibrant looks. These are the most pigmented, highest quality eyeshadows on the market and almost exclusively what I use on all of my clients. When I use these eyeshadows I’m confident I’m using only the best ingredients on my clients.

Your Turn!

I encourage you to explore these products and see how they can elevate your makeup routine. Remember, the key to great makeup is not just in the products themselves but in how you use them. So, don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you.
