About me

Number one thing I get asked is how did I get into Makeup? Well, to be honest, I've been doing makeup since I could walk. Moms, baby sitters, friends and Barbie dolls, no one was safe! I never imagined this thing I loved so much could be a career, so after high school I attended Oakland University where I got my bachelors degree in Communication and Journalism. It was during a college biology class that I found myself watching youtube videos and not paying attention to school. That's when I stumbled across Astute Artistry, Michigans only licensed makeup trade school. I took full programs in beauty, special f/x, and body paint. Once I completed the program I was a certified instructor for the studio teaching full beauty and special f/x programs.

I parted ways with the school and I now freelance. I've worked on everything from run way, film, tv, stage, wedding, and haunts. The film industry is where my passion lies. But there is nothing quite like the feeling of a satisfied bride when she sees the gorgeous look you've given her on her special day.

Makeup often gets a bad wrap, and I will advocate for the courage it gives to women and men forever. It's not made to mask, but rather bring out inner beauty. It gives confidence to some, a hobby to others, and its an outlet for creativity to all that use it. I'm most at home with an airbrush gun in my hand, no matter where I am.
Additional information:
I do beauty, special f/x , body paint, mens grooming, hair and more. I love to wear any hat thrown my way, literally and figuratively.
