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.

I found Denise through Thumbtack. I was a little hesitant at first, but she was more than willing to meet me in person to go over the details for a wedding. We met around February, even though the wedding wasn’t until September, and she immediately put me at ease. We met at a Starbucks, and I instantly felt comfortable—she was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to connect with. Leading up to the event, we touched base a few times, and two days before the wedding she reached out again to confirm the location and time. That gave me such peace of mind, knowing she was on top of everything and I didn’t have to worry about being left hanging. On the day of, Denise arrived right on time and did an amazing job on all of us. We had a mix of ages in our group, including mature women, and she made everyone look beautiful while keeping the makeup age-appropriate. I absolutely loved my makeup and felt confident all day. Denise speaks Spanish which definitely was a plus with my mother. I will definitely be keeping Denise’s contact information for future events. I’m so glad we found each other!

Denise did a trial for my hair and makeup for my wedding anniversary party. The trial went well so then I hired her for my actual event. I was nervous to work with a pro because I never wear makeup, the last time was at my wedding. She would check in with me and give me a mirror to ask does this feel like too much makeup or not. I got tons of compliments that I was "glowing" that night. She showed me some hair inspiration too and we agreed on a simple bun in the back, that looked natural. I'd definitely work with her again! Thank you, Denise!
