I am available for private makeup lessons, beauty consultations, events, video shoots and photoshoots. I specialize in HD makeup application and airbrushing. I have experience working on video shoots, photoshoots, model and consumer beauty consultations, client seminars and runway shows. Have delivered customized makeup applications for hundreds of clients. I also perform image consulting, wardrobe styling and light hair styling for shoots.

Drawing and painting are life-long passions of mine so makeup application came to me very naturally. I see the face as a canvas waiting to be enhanced into something beautiful.

Here to collaborate and work with professionals in the industry.
