"What if I don't like my makeup?"
You want to look stunning but still recognizably YOU in all your photos - not like every other bride.
"I'm already doing so much"
You're exhausted from directing your event. The thought of having to tell someone else what to do sounds awful.
"Maybe I should just do it myself"
At least then you'd know it gets done right... but honestly, you just want someone to take care of YOU for once.

No babe, I got you
What you really want is to feel like your favorite version of yourself while someone else handles everything - so you can actually relax before walking down the aisle.
What if someone just...got you?
Imagine: cortisol levels dropping, shoulders relaxing, and for once - someone else has it all handled. The stress just melts away.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Monica is a fabulous makeup artist. She knows the ins and outs of the products she used on my face. She asked a lot of questions seeking clarity about the look I was going for. She listened to Amber T (Bride) what I wanted and added her own twist. She was gentle and made me feel comfortable throughout my wedding day experience. She also kept in contact with me leading up to the wedding and stayed within our timeline. I would highly recommend her for your makeup needs. Love her! "
