I’ve been a freelance makeup artist since late 2016. I was never allowed to wear makeup when I was growing up, so once I graduated high school, I started experimenting with eyeshadow and eyeliner. I watched hundreds of YouTube makeup tutorials and I always felt so inspired. I would go out and buy whatever I could afford at the time and beg my mom to let me practice on her. I’m constantly researching products for different skin types, lighting etc. Practicing on my family and friends made me learn about different skin types. I believe that if the skin looks glowy and healthy, everything else falls into place.
I really enjoy connecting with my clients and helping them feel even more beautiful. It’s such an amazing feeling when you give the client a mirror to see themselves with the final look and seeing their eyes light up.
Connecting with my clients, making them happy, excited, confident and fierce is always the goal. I listen to their requests and make sure we’re on the same page at all times.
I've worked on set for commercials, weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, proms & photo shoots.

Mylee is an excellent makeup artist. She communicated with me thoroughly prior to my wedding and sent several photos to make sure that I got the perfect look since I opted not to do a trial. She took her time to make sure that my makeup was absolutely perfect on my wedding day. Her attention to detail was great and I looked and felt amazing when she was done! I would highly recommend her for any special event. She was also very friendly and professional.

Everything about this experience was amazing. I couldn’t stop looking at myself in the mirror. I had gotten so many compliments on my makeup also. She is so friendly, I felt like I’ve known her for years. I can’t wait to get my makeup done by her again. She’s the best!

Whether you want a natural or bold look, Mylee is your girl. She has done my makeup on several occasions. She truly listened to what I wanted every time and the results were incredible! My makeup held up flawlessly every time. Beyond the beautiful makeup what I was the most impressed with was her ability to make me feel as beautiful as I looked. I would highly highly recommend her!

Mylee is such a professional. She is punctual and responsible. Her work quality is impressive. She has a wonderful sense of style and judgement; she accommodates your makeup according to the occasion, your style and wardrobe. I was not sure about what I wanted (color palet) or even what I was wearing but Mylee was able to give me a look to fit whatever wardrobe I chose. I truly recommend her for every occasion...you will not be disappointed.
