Could not have picked a better makeup artist for our special day! Her precision with her craft and genuine care for her clients is so incredibly apparent. I can't wait to get professional photos back because of my confidence in how excellent her work was. Cannot recommend her enough! :)

Bel was amazing! She made me look & feel beautiful! I really enjoyed getting to know her. We had such a great visit while she did my makeup! I was very impressed with the outcome! My make up was exactly the look i was wanting! I highly recommend!
Next time I’m in Chicago I will definitely be calling for makeup & maybe time for a drink to catch up!

Bel is amazing! Such a beautiful, caring and might I say passionate about what she does woman. I had a wedding trial with Bel and the minute she walked into my home I could feel her positive energy. Before getting started she went over products, the order of things and gave great recommendations for makeup. What I loved was that Bel took her time not just with the detail of her work but in the process also wanted to get to know me. I have hired Bel to do my makeup for my wedding and I can't stress how excited I am to work with Bel again! I would definitely recommend her :)

We hired Bel to do my niece’s makeup for her cotillion, as well as, myself and other family members.
Bel was on time, was courteous and very professional.
The make up was great. I loved how my niece looked. Very natural and her eye makeup looked spectacular!
My makeup also looked great and lasted all day and my lipstick stayed on the entire time.
Bel was great at listening and interpreting what we wanted in makeup and throughout the process she asked if we wanted more or less makeup. She really cared and wanted us to be happy w the end result.
My only regret is not having closeup pictures so you could see her work.
I would definitely hire her again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to keep my prices very fair in order to reach a wider range of clients. That does not mean I use cheaper products! My kit has only professional high performance stage/Cinema makeup that is very durable and resistant to any occasion! I also include lashes, skin care routine and airbrush in my price! so that's another bonus my clients get...no surprises at the end!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I like to send my client a form where I ask my client lots of questions about their skin type, expectations, makeup ideas, colors and styles and of course if they have any allergies or if I should be aware of anything when doing their makeup, after we have that call and I get to know a little bit more about my client, I will suggest a trial so we can try different looks and ideas until the client is 100% satisfied with the result. Lastly, I like to check in with my clients through text messages until the big day arrives.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
-I was trained in Makeup and sales by Shiseido in 2012 prior to working at Bareminerals.
- I was mentored by Lancome's National Makeup Artist Regis Sodre in 2013
-I became a Certified Makeup Artist in the US after attending Makeup First School Of Makeup Artistry in 2019.
-I have constantly attended workshops and demos in order to improve and update my skills.
