Introduction: I am a freelance makeup artist passionate about discovering beauty in every woman and finding creative ways to enhance it. I would agree that Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself, but good makeup can help you succeed with confidence. I believe in magic of lipstick. I like when less is more, but exceptions may happen. Let’s play! From nude to bold and creative evening make-up, wedding or any special occasion make-up, retro make-up, smoky eyes, film and photography make-up. You name it I create it!

Asta was so kind and welcoming to me! I’m a beginner in makeup and I seriously needed help with a cut crease, and she laid it down easy. Definitely worth the money and I’m glad I did it!

Asta did such a good job with the makeup for my wedding party. It was a challenge considering we were 51, 43, and 21 years old, and she did a great job with all of us. We looked so natural, but elevated, and the makeup lasted all night!

Details: Wedding • 45 - 64 years old • 26 - 44 years old • 18 - 25 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • False lashes • 3 people • My home, venue, etc.

We were doing heavy character makeup for this job - Asta was simply the best. She truly cares bout her art, as all artists do. And make no mistake, This IS art. Were this for a stage production I would INSIST that Asta do my makeup. I trust her artistry implicitly! I have (traditional) head shots coming up and we will be working again -(albeit in a more traditional pallet of colors)..... I can not say enough good things about Asta.... and her artistry. ~ Thank you Asta, see you soon!

Details: Theatrical production • 65 or older • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • False lashes • 1 person • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Let's start from getting to know your style, likes, dislikes, and wishes. If you bring some inspirational photos of how you would like your makeup to be done, it would help. Then let's learn your skin type and tone, talk about your favorite colors and decide which pallet serves you the best. Then put all together and create something beautiful.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    European Makeup training certificate (61h) Professional Eyebrow Artistry and Eyebrow laminations certificates Basic eyelash extensions course completion certificate I'm working with brands like Makeup Forever, Makeup Atelier Pari, Urban decay, MAC, Armani, Becca, Estée Lauder.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I am lucky to have experience working with all ages from 5 to more than 75 years old, with different ethnicities men and women, but mostly women, from very light to very deep skin color.
