About
I am a highly skilled and creative Makeup Artist with 20 years experience in makeup application and education. I pride myself in my ability to work with any skin complexion to assist you with any and all of your makeup needs.
Whether you’re looking for a simple makeup application, how-to classes, event glam or FX/cosplay makeup- I’ve got you! Makeup application and execution doesn’t have to be intimidating. I love to teach all of my clients how to use what’s in their makeup bag to create easy, beautiful looks that will carry you from day to night glam.
If you are undergoing chemotherapy or in the maintenance portion of it, I’d love to work in assisting you with wig fittings, eyebrow and eyelash applications, as well as any makeup or skin needs/concerns you may be dealing with in order to get you feeling like the best you possible! Because you’re beautiful and you deserve it!

Cheryl did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my baby shower! She made me feel absolutely beautiful while still making sure I looked like myself, which was exactly what I wanted. Both my hair and makeup came out beautifully and held up throughout the entire shower. She was professional, easy to work with, and made getting ready such an enjoyable experience. I was so happy with everything and would absolutely recommend Cheryl and book with her again!

Cheryl Leigh was a pleasure to have as a hair and makeup artist for my maternity photo shoot. As a new client, I appreciate that she was responsive in discussing my preferences prior to the appointment and making a small adjustment during the appointment. I will be planning to book her again!

Cheryl did a fantastic job. She blended well—my face and neck match well, which I love. I didn't look to made up. She gave me a natural beauty. I will definitely be working with her again.
