Services
Bridal Makeup
Our bridal makeup services ensure a flawless, long-lasting look tailored to your wedding theme and personal style. Using high-quality, hypoallergenic products, we create natural, radiant applications that photograph beautifully and endure throughout your event. Clients receive personalized attention during trials and on the wedding day, with options for lash applications and touch-up kits.
Eyebrow Shaping
Eyebrow shaping enhances facial symmetry and definition through precise waxing and tweezing techniques. Known as the 'Poor Man's Facelift,' this service refines your natural brow shape while maintaining balance with your features. We also offer tinting to complement your hair color and reduce daily maintenance.
On-Location Services
We provide on-site makeup artistry for weddings, events, and photo shoots at locations across North Lake Tahoe. This service includes travel to venues like West Shore, Squaw Valley, and Truckee, ensuring convenience without compromising the quality of our expert, camera-ready applications.
Makeup Lessons
Private makeup lessons teach clients to recreate their signature look using personalized techniques and product recommendations. Sessions cover application methods, skincare prep, and product selection, empowering you to achieve professional results for everyday wear or special occasions.
Lash Tinting
Lash tinting darkens natural lashes for a fuller, more defined appearance without mascara. This service is ideal for active lifestyles or events, offering long-lasting results that resist smudging and water exposure while maintaining a natural, polished look.

Questions
Why hire a professional makeup artist for my wedding?
A professional ensures long-lasting, photography-ready makeup that complements your style and withstands emotional moments. They provide a calming presence and expertise to handle unexpected issues like skin sensitivities or last-minute changes.
Do you offer both hair and makeup services?
We specialize in makeup only but can recommend trusted local hair stylists to coordinate your bridal party's look efficiently and professionally.
What products do you use?
We use hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, cruelty-free cosmetics developed in NYC labs. Clients with sensitivities may bring their own products for us to apply, ensuring safety and satisfaction.
Do you travel for on-location services?
Yes, we offer on-site makeup for weddings and events in North Lake Tahoe areas like Tahoe City, Squaw Valley, and Truckee, with travel fees for South Lake Tahoe during off-season.
What is a bridal makeup trial?
A one-hour trial lets you test your wedding-day look, discuss themes, and refine details. It's an opportunity to ensure your makeup aligns with your vision and lasts throughout your event.
Can you accommodate skin sensitivities?
Clients must disclose allergies beforehand. We avoid using our products if needed and will work with your preferred brands to ensure safe, irritation-free applications during trials and events.
