I appreciate her desire to be sure we were pleased with the end result. We askd for Barbie & that's what was delivered. Would use her again for sure.

Empress was absolutely amazing! I chose her based on the outstanding reviews I read, and she exceeded every expectation. Too bad I can't give more stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
From the very beginning, she was prompt, professional, and accommodating when scheduling my makeup trial. Her energy is refreshing, positive, and welcoming. Since I don't normally wear makeup, I wanted a natural glam look, and she made sure to enhance my features without changing my appearance.
During my makeup trial, I felt completely comfortable and relaxed as she worked. On my wedding day, she arrived early and was simply incredible. Her talent as a makeup artist is exceptional—she listens carefully to what her clients want and delivers a beautiful, flawless result.
Beyond her artistry, her personality and spirit are genuine and kind. She truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Her pricing is also very reasonable considering the time, effort, and quality she provides.
I highly recommend Empress to anyone looking for a professional, talented makeup artist. Do not hesitate to book her if you want an amazing experience and a stunning end result! I will most definitely be using her again and referring her. Thank You Empress! Blessings to you.

Empress was simply amazing! She was professional in her communication and artistry. She was so patient and my daughter got the exact look she wanted. My daughter looked so beautiful for her prom. We are so happy we found her and plan to book her again for graduation.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is fair and based on my expertise in the field.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically ask for an inspiration photo so I can get a feel of the makeup you’re fond of. We go over your look in detail if you have pictures. But I also do not mind scheduling a trial or free styling. I do have a signature look as well for those who prefer natural glam.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Mentor was DeShawn Hatcher (celebrity makeup artist)
