Portfolio
Event, evening, editorial and character makeup, plus hair straightening. Work from 2019 to 2021.
Before and after
The same face and the same hair, before we start and when we finish. Pick a look and move the line.
Day makeup: even skin, lined eyes and nude lips.
Bridal
Your skin, on its best day. Makeup that looks natural in person, flawless in photos and lasts until the last dance.
We meet four to six weeks before. We try two looks, photograph them in daylight and adjust until you love it.
I come to wherever you are getting ready with everything: cleansing, skin prep, makeup, lashes and long-wear setting.
I stay until after the ceremony to touch you up before the photos, and leave you your lipstick for the party.

Questions
Do you come to me?
Yes. I bring everything, including a work light. I only need a chair and a table near a window. Travel is included in Queens; outside Queens, we agree on it over WhatsApp.
How far ahead should I book?
For brides, three to six months. For event makeup, one or two weeks is usually enough.
Do I need to leave a deposit?
For brides, yes: a 30% deposit holds your date and comes off the total. With 48 hours' notice or more, we move it to another date. With less notice, the deposit is not refunded.
How long does the makeup last?
With good skin prep and setting, ten to twelve hours. For brides I stay for the touch-up if you book it.
What if I have sensitive skin?
Tell me when you book. I ask about allergies and adapt the products; if you like, we test first.
Do you speak English?
Spanish is my first language. I speak basic English and understand it well, so we can plan in either one.
How do I book?
Message me on WhatsApp or Instagram with the service, date, time and place. I confirm availability the same day.
