My love for makeup started at a young age like a lot of little girls.   Applying lipstick to my friends and family or polishing someone's nails provided hours of entertainment for me.  As I grew older, I found myself always searching for that perfect color or applying my own makeup with such scrutiny that I was always the last one out the door; I wanted everything to be perfect. 

Faces are so interesting to me; the asymmetry, the smoothness, the contours.  I've never been good at remembering names when I'm introduced to someone, instead I find myself concentrating on their facial features and bone structure.  My favorite clients are the ones that feel the have absolutely no flattering features whatsoever and no amount of makeup is going to help them.  These are usually the same gals that can't quit looking at themselves when I'm through with them; in fact I've lost many a mirror this way!  Targeting a woman's best feature, enhancing it and creating that feature as a focal point allows even the most mousy woman to feel beautiful.  Color selection and neutralizing discolorations is also fascinating to me.  It's challenging and rewarding when  I am able to hide a bruise, port wine birth mark or melasma with the right color combination.  I have had 17 years of training in the makeup and aesthetician world and still enjoy every minute of it! 

I grew up in Stuart on Florida's Treasure Coast, a slice of paradise just north of the Palm Beaches.   My husband is an avid fisherman, and we have two beautiful daughters.   

I'm a graduate of Florida State University, a licensed Aesthetician and a Board Certified Permanent Makeup Specialists through the American Academy of Micropigmentation.  I have had the good fortune of working with a renowned plastic surgeon for thirteen years and most recently a large dermatology group with over ten offices throughout the south Florida area. My airbrush training has included some of the best in the business; Dinar, Temptu and Sylvia Pichler, just to name a few.   

Airbrushing took my love for makeup to the next level, there is nothing that compares to the light as a feather feel while providing the coverage and longevity brides need for their special day.   I love it and I know you will love it too!
