My brides ask me all the time:
“Can I use my own foundation?”
And honestly… I get why you’re asking, especially as a brown girl.
Short answer? YES.
I know shade matching hasn’t always been kind to us.
Too orange. Too gray. Too light. Too dark.
So of course you’re nervous handing your face over to someone else.
But here’s what brides don’t always realize 👇🏽
✨Undertone matters just as much as shade
✨Flashback + oxidation matter
✨Mixing + custom matching is often the secret sauce
I’ve got you. I know skin, I know undertones, and I know how to make it look flawless in real life and in photos.
Bring your foundation if you love it.
Trust me to adjust, mix, or replace it if needed… always with you in mind.
Save this if you’re planning your bridal makeup 🤎

The results of my 1 on 1 Pro class with @livmua ! I first found her via insta back when I was getting married (before I was a makeup artist), and I always admired her work. Fast forward to now, I got the chance to learn her artistry techniques 🫶🏽 thank you for being an amazing teacher!
can’t wait to put these into use this year 🤍

Listen I always say, anyone can make you look beautiful in a ring light. My job is to make sure you still feel beautiful when you walk into that room in any lighting🕯️
This bride trusted me with her wedding welcome party look and she owned every single moment of that night. No touch ups. Just her, glowing. 🥹

I went to Mexico City for the food and the culture.
I did NOT expect to leave with the best hair of my entire life and I’m still thinking about it months later.
Got a blowout and I genuinely stood in the mirror for five minutes just flipping it back and forth like a shampoo commercial. The volume. The shine. The smoothness. IYKYK.
Now I’m back home looking at my own flat iron like a stranger. We’re doneeeeeee.

Your wedding morning sets the tone for everything.
And the last thing you need is someone quiet, rushed, or making you feel like just another appointment.
When you sit in my chair, you get more than flawless glam, you get someone in your corner. Hyping you up, calming your nerves, making sure you feel like the woman before you ever see yourself in the mirror.
My brides don’t leave feeling done up. They leave feeling like the most beautiful, confident version of themselves.
That’s the experience I’ve built, and it’s why my calendar fills up fast.

I leave money on the table. Every single weekend.
While other MUAs are double and triple booking wedding days, I’m turning down jobs to protect your morning.
Because here’s the truth…when your artist is rushing, you can feel it. And it shows up in your photos forever.
One bride. One day. That’s my promise.

This look was created with the amazing @carmellinabeautyco_
My favorite kind of challenge: taking a “no-makeup” person and making them feel like the most elevated version of themselves.
Soft, intentional, and still feels like skin. 💄 #mua #softglam #makeupgoals #bridalmua
My boudoir client thought photoshoot makeup had to be heavy to show up on camera… but that’s actually the biggest myth. The secret is intentional prep and strategic eye definition so the skin still looks like skin and the eyes photograph beautifully. When the base is prepped right and the eyes are defined correctly, the makeup reads polished on camera without ever looking thick in person.
