About
Hello my name is Denise! I have been a makeup artist for 15 years. I worked as an artist for M.A.C Cosmetics for 12 years and 1 year with Dior beauty. I specialize in luxury bridal makeup and my years of experience have taught me to work with every skin tone, face shape and eye shape. I am also a traveling artist that’s does hair and provides white glove service so I make things as convenient and stress free as possible. I do all types of occasions from bridal to just a night out where you want to look and feel beautiful.

If I could write just a one-word review for Denise, it would be - spectacular. From the get go, she was super responsive and provided so much patience as I asked a multitude of questions. I enjoyed our session so much because she was able to assist me with elevating my current makeup routine with her tips and tricks. She is super patient and encouraging - I had a looooot of questions during the session, and she is incredibly knowledgeable in her craft. I’d come back to Denise again and recommend her to anyone looking to learn how to do makeup or have their makeup done for an event!

Definitely recommend! Denise did such an amazing job on my makeup , that it lasted all night. I had some idea as to how I wanted to look for my wedding , but she was able to guide me into finding a look that met my needs. Denise also did my hair and when I say it was beautiful , it really was! I will reach out to her again in the future , 5/5.

Denise was amazing! She did my makeup for photos and then my hair and makeup for my baby shower. She was on time, very kind, and did my look exactly the way I wanted. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome! Thank you Denise, can't wait to work with you again!

Denise was amazing! I booked her to do my hair and makeup for a formal wedding I was attending and she was super responsive and flexible. She gave me the look I was wanting and even came to my hotel. She matched my energy and did a phenomenal quality job. I got a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup. 10/10 recommend! Thank you Denise!
