About
*I AM NOT A HAIR STYLIST* I’ve been a makeup artist for 7 years, since I graduated makeup designory ( a film, photo shoot, sfx school for makeup) in nyc! Since graduating, I have been working for Mac cosmetics. I am looking to inspire people outside the counter to look and feel their best! I can do all styles of makeup, specializing in deeper skin tones and natural glam- but I really like out of the box, creative makeup! I also am capable of airbrushing, lash application, prosthetic application, sfx, camera makeup, bridal makeup, event makeup, pretty much anything you can throw at me. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about me! I hope to be hearing from you soon (:
For events I always recommend purchasing the lipstick ahead of time for touch ups!! I’ll be able to recommend or pick up the lipstick for you!
All my makeup is sanitized, all brushes are deep cleaned in between appointments. Any other precautions you would like me to take please let me know!!
I do take a 20% non refundable deposit at time of booking/ trial
I am not an aesthetician or a cosmetologist, I attended an 820 hour program for a certificate in makeup application ( master makeup program ) at MUD, doing best in my class *and for the first time in my life a 4.0 gpa LOL!*

This is the make up artist for you. Stop looking g go no further. Book her now. She's talented and super sweet. Knowledgeable and not afraid to share her knowledge. I felt comfortable the whole trial run for my wedding make up. Prices are reasonable. But the make up you leave with. FLAWLESS. Have you feel like a million bucks. Fun person to talk with and hang out with. No really. Go book her. She's amazing.
Details: Wedding • 26 - 44 years old • I'm flexible • Day-of or night-of touch ups • False lashes • Pre-event makeup trial • 3 people • My home, venue, etc.

Emma was amazing! Not only is she so kind and fun but she really listens to what you want. I wanted a couple small adjustments and she easily changed things without issue. I told her what I envisioned and she delivered! Very punctual and professional. You won’t be disappointed!!

What an absolutely fabulous experience! I messaged Emma in a panic the day before an event. She very quickly responded that she would love to help me out. We quickly spoke on the phone and determined a time for her to come to my home the next day. She asked questions regarding the look I was interested in but I went with the “let’s see what you suggest approach”. Despite being a distance from her location that day, she arrived on time and gave regular updates which helped my anxiety! The makeup, well, I received nothing but compliments all night! I was so pleased and felt so glam 🤩. For someone with sensitive skin and redness I was nervous, but It was WELL worth the reasonable price and I’m excited to have her contact info for the future. Check her work and give her a call, she’s great!

I had a great experience working with Emma. The makeup look was polished, and exactly what I was hoping for. She is professional, detail-oriented, and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend them for any special occasion.
