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.

Julie was amazing! She did hair/makeup for a group of four friends for a wedding we were attending. She was professional, friendly, had great insight, knowledge and did a fantastic job at both our hair and makeup. I have never had so many compliments! Would highly recommend her for any event. We so enjoyed working with her and would definitely use her again!

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, was absolutely wonderful! We did not even do a test-run sesh due to Brides Schedule but she was beyond excellent! I had never done the airbrush makeup and so that was also a treat!

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.
