Luxury bridal makeup & hair team serving Vermont, SW FL & beyond! I have always had a passion for makeup! After all, practice makes perfect! XO
Hillary
It started in 8th grade when I was bullied for having acne. Back then, I caked on the makeup and it did NOT look good. Over the years, I have watched and learned from some of the best beauty bloggers out there. I am a Certified International Makeup Professional- this accreditation is through QC Makeup Academy. Nathan Johnson was an amazing tutor who worked on 2 seasons of Project Runway, and worked on celebs like Lea Michele, Paul McCartney, and Jessica Alba! Over the past year, I have had enough people tell me that I should get paid for what I do- so here I am! I take great pride in my work and that includes cleanliness and sanitation! I sanitize all brushes between clients and use disposable applicators when necessary. Makeup truly is an art form, and I appreciate you considering me to be your makeup artist! Feel free to message, call, email, or text to book today!

“I want to look like the best version of myself!”
“I want to feel naturally elevated!”
“Nothing too dark, just glowy & blushing!”
If I had a dollar for every bride who inquired and mentioned of these things— I’d be well, retired on my own island?! 🤣
If this is YOUR vibe, let’s connect💕

I tried (and had to) do the 9-5 thing for yearssss while I worked to build up my makeup career! This meant 7 day works weeks, hustling my bridal inbox after my 9-5 was done & missing a lot of my twenties!
But— it was ALL worth it & I’d do it all again to avoid that cubicle 👏🏼🤣

✨THE✨ half up style of the year! Though, I foresee this style trending for years to come as it’s classics, chic & timeless!
(PS: we used a couple packs of extensions to create that FULL volume look!)

How do I make our beauty timelines stay ON TIME?
Like this! (Obvious caveat that if all the bridesmaids are late or no one arrives prepped as our prep guide states, those can cause delays out of our control 😉)
I’m honestly that crazy type A person whose gut says to assign names to time slots, but after 11 years of making timelines & working real weddings with real delays & scenarios, this TRULY is the best way to do it!
Of course if you have someone who absolutely needs to go first or last because they have a baby, have another appt, etc etc, of course we can accommodate that. But, generally speaking:
✨ Always have a few people there & ready to go
✨ Ensure everyone has read the prep guide & knows how to arrive for their hair or makeup service
✨ If it’s an early start time, ask a couple of girls who you know are early birds to kick things off
We take care of the rest! BUTT IN CHAIR = WE STAY ON TIME! 💕 It really can be that simple!
