About
I’m a professional makeup artist with over 25 years of experience in commercial, photo, and video work. I’ve worked with celebrities, pro athletes, executives, and everyday clients, and I truly believe there is beauty in everyone.
My specialty is enhancing your best features so you look flawless in person and on camera—whether it’s for your wedding, a special event, or a photoshoot. I’m skilled with all skin tones, ages, and personalities, and I bring a calm, friendly presence to every appointment.
While I don’t provide hair services, I collaborate with excellent professional hairstylists and can offer referrals.
If you’re looking for an experienced, dependable makeup artist who genuinely loves this work, I’d be honored to be part of your day.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Julie not only did we have a great time. She did an amazing job on our Makeup and hair. She managed 4 of us all on her own and listened to everything my girls wanted. Julie will make a special occasion that much better!

Julie was absolutely charming!
She was very accommodating when we asked for an extra day. Her array of tools and makeup is incredible. We loved that she could listen to what we wanted. It’s rare to find a a professional, who is able to travel to your location and do such great work. You won’t be disappointed by going with Julie.

Julie came to me for a preview day for makeup and hair and on my actual wedding day. She takes her work seriously, and listens to me feedback about my makeup, and hair.
She takes notes and make adjustments as needed based on customer preferences about their makeup and hair. She has a professional way of doing job. Also, if you like any styles she can try to match that style for you. I would recommend Julie to anyone who needs a hair updos and or a makeup day to brighten up their day. You can’t go wrong with hiring Julie.

My friends and I had the pleasure of working with Julie as she helped the three of us get ready for a wedding. After our original stylist cancelled on us last minute, Julie was quick to respond to our inquiry and we booked right away. In the end we’re glad it worked out this way because Julie was amazing! She’s professional and sweet, and made the three of us feel and look beautiful. We definitely recommend Julie!

Julie is very personable and professional! We had fun chatting and talking with my family and friends while I was getting all glammed up. Along with my family, I was amazed at the transformation. I felt like a movie star. She brought chair for me and lights, I felt like I was in a studio at a movie set! I gave Julie a a few pictures for reference and my hair and make up were flawless!!! Thank you Julie for such a fun time! I will definitely call on Julie again for the next special event! XO Julienne

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $125ea. for Makeup. I specialize in Airbrush but can use a regular foundation if you prefer. The rate is the same.
I prefer booking parties with a minimum of 4 and can take as many as 10
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First is understanding their needs for my service. Once that is established I go over my process for accomplishing that. It's really important for me to understand exactly what style of makeup and hair my clients are looking for. I have them view my web site and profile page so they can see my work and we go from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My career started in retail as a Cosmetic Dept. Manager, then I moved in to direct sales. From there I entered the world of Freelance makeup artistry. I have had constant training on product knowledge and application throughout my entire career and continue to train.
I was professionally trained at The Makeup Institut of San Diego and was trained in airbrush by Dinair of Hollywood.
