Beauty – Kitchener-Waterloo
I am a professional makeup artist, tea enthusiast, and cat lover living and working in London, Ontario. I’ve been a freelance makeup artist since 2014. I developed my makeup obsession slowly, starting in high school. I watched all the YouTube tutorials and read all the beauty blogs I could while completing my Honours Specialization in English Language and Literature at Western University. The year after I graduated, which I call my “floater year,” I started working as a receptionist at a downtown salon. Turns out it wasn’t much of a floater year but the beginning of my career! Hairstyling and makeup artistry go hand-in-hand and the salon was a creative and nurturing environment for a budding makeup artist. In 2013, I started working as an artist with MAC Cosmetics, learning about and practicing the entire makeup process from skin care to that final mist of fixing spray. That is when I found I could explore my passion and work as a makeup artist. Since then, I’ve been a freelance makeup artist working out of my home studio as well as offering mobile makeup for weddings, photoshoots, and group events. For my beautiful bridal parties, I always keep the beautification process running smooth, on time, and a moment for each beautiful face in my chair to relax. I also love having clients visit my home studio! I enjoy hosting each individual, welcoming them into a tranquil space and leaving looking as beautiful as they feel! I also have work published with Cineplex, Venture Cover Magazine, Missy/Ink Magazine, Kleinfleld at Hudson's Bay, and The Wedding Ring.
