My Backstory
Mindful Beauty. Art. Color. Health. Joy. Love.
These are the elements I seek and expect to bring to my work (and life) every day.
From brides and executives to celebrities, content creators, and everyday beauties, my mission is to enhance your most memorable moments.
My passion for makeup started young as I transformed myself on stage as a dancer and practiced on my mother, inspired by the vibrant actresses of Spanish soap operas in our traditional Mexican home.
With life-long roots in Chicago and a degree in Fashion Merchandising, I began my journey with M.A.C. Cosmetics in 2002. Since then, I’ve worked with icons like Lady Gaga, Jared Leto, and the NY Housewives (to name a few) and taught thousands of makeup artists across the country as a Regional Trainer of Education for M.A.C. Cosmetics for over 10 years.
I have also taught communication & people skills, instructed on the arts of color theory, facial features, Hi-Definition, airbrushing, and understanding trends. My skill set exceeds well beyond sheer artistry, resulting in a holistic process where I can also teach you tools of the trade that you can take with you.
Beyond NY Fashion Week, editorial shoots, and the 500+ brides I have worked with, my greatest joy is seeing clients light up confidently.
In recent years, I’ve become keenly focused on Clean Beauty and holistic beauty strategies. My life’s mission is to educate women on how critical it is to know what we are putting on and in our bodies as it relates to our health and holistic beauty. Conscious beauty is and will always be at the forefront of my work.
At the end of the day, it’s not about my color choices or techniques. It is not about my over 20 years of learned artistry skills, my knowledge of fashion and beauty trends, or the latest intel on the finest quality clean beauty products. It’s about the love I put into my work and the people I work with and for.
“Every person deserves to feel & look beautiful. I strive to do my little part in making that a reality for you.”
Work with me for the love, energy, and transformative experiences that will last far beyond the day. The makeup and the photos that live on forever, prove it happened.
Big LOVE,
