Introduction: I have years of experience as a makeup artist. I’ve had the blessing of working for a brand that was at the forefront during my time there. Working there gave me the opportunity to grow as an artist and do makeup for all walks of life and all occasions. I did makeup 5 days a week and on an average did 3 makeups a day. If you do the math it’s about 7,800 plus makeups I’ve done in my time there. That number excludes all the weddings I’ve done through my own freelance business. The experience I have is priceless and you definitely can’t buy anywhere. I can look at you and know instantly what foundation color you are. I’m HUGE on customizing colors and being what I like to call a mixologist. I know how to bring out everyone’s best features and can do anything from soft makeup to dramatic makeup. I promise you will not be disappointed with my work.

I had a photoshoot planned and I am soo incredibly happy that I found Sergio. Not only is Sergio a professional but he makes sure you are comfortable and is very accessible to you your needs and what fits best with your features. I love how passionate he is with his line of work and I am extremely grateful I got to meet and work with such an amazing makeup artist and person! I took one look in the mirror after he was done and that was it, I could not even believe how lucky I got to find Sergio!! I was stunned and again thank you Sergio for making me feel like a Queen for my special day!

I came to Sergio for my first ever makeup lesson and am so happy that I did! I had very little experience with makeup and was nervous coming in but Sergio did an amazing job making me feel comfortable right away and was very descriptive about products and brushes and letting me know which to use to achieve the look I wanted. He also provided a list of the products that we used (and some less expensive dupes) so that I could shop worry free. He was so very helpful and I would recommend him to anyone!

It was my first time getting my make up professionally done. It was a great experience. I don’t wear much make up on a daily basis and he made me look natural. It was amazing. Totally recommend Sergio 100%.

Sergio did a wonderful job on my makeup. He was helpful to someone like me who had zero clue when it came to matching make up with skin type and tone. He even found me a great hair style list that gave me the hairstyle I was looking for. I definitely recommend his services. You won’t be disappointed !
