Introduction
**** I do not do her hair!!!********* *I have been featured and seen on Manhattan Magazine & People Magazine** Hi, I'm Yanell ! I am a Professional Makeup Artist. I have had a passion for make-up for as long as I can remember. It’s really true, when you chose a job you love, you will never work a day in your life. I come equipped to all jobs with my own professional lighting system, and my own makeup chair for clients. I use high quality products to provide long lasting beautiful looks. I believe in maintaining cleanliness, and providing the best service possible. I graduated from Nina Makeup Academy in NYC. I am currently a freelance makeup artist and I can also accommodate an on location service at a salon. I have experience with all types of events (Bridal, birthdays, baby showers, and models)! I am trained in individual lashes, air brush and strip on lashes. Thank you for considering me as your makeup artist! Disclaimer: Photos: I ask for a before and an after for future makeup post.

Yanell is an amazing artist. She did my wedding makeup. She was so good that the bridesmaids who had originally opted out of getting their makeup done were suddenly wanted in. I had 2 hours sleep the nigh before my wedding and you wouldn't know it after she was finished with me. I cannot recommend her enough. She did a beautiful job on each and every one of us. She even airbrushed the groom who is prone to stress breakouts. He looked amazing. He didn't even look like he had any makeup on.

Details: Wedding • 45 - 64 years old • Airbrushed makeup (spray tool) • False lashes • 6 people • My home, venue, etc.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Yanell!!!! From the moment we connected, they were professional, kind, and truly passionate about their craft. On the day of my event, they arrived on time, brought such great energy, and made me feel completely at ease. The makeup look was flawless—beautifully blended, long-lasting, and exactly what I envisioned (actually, even better!). I received compliments all night and felt so confident and radiant. If you’re looking for someone talented, reliable, and an absolute joy to work with, look no further. I highly recommend Yanell and will definitely be booking again!

Yanell was wonderful ! I felt so comfortable in her chair for my wedding and so did my mom and my aunt who never get their makeup done. She came all the way over to my house to do the trial and I had never felt more beautiful!!! We loved it. She always got right back to me and was able to accommodate 10 girls that morning. The photos from my wedding were stunning ! I felt so beautiful that day. Thank you Yanell !!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Details: Wedding • 26 - 44 years old • 45 - 64 years old • 65 or older • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • False lashes • 9 people • My home, venue, etc.
