About

Hello!

My love of all things beauty came about when I started reading Allure Magazine way back in 1991/2(who remembers the big issues?!) by way of my always fashion-forward Mom. I was always intrigued with the best of the best products and artists, so it’s only natural for me to be where I am today.  I started off my beauty career with positions at Chanel, Stila and Bobbi Brown, while also receiving my Cosmetology license. I worked in salon for many years doing hair also but now all my talents are focused on Weddings!

My passion at The Makeup Dolls is to have you looking absolutely radiant, even with the slightest amount of makeup. As a Licensed Cosmetologist I specialize in ethereal, organic looking hairstyles and my makeup philosophy is to create looks that are delicate yet naturally glamorous.  With being proficient in both hair and makeup, a cohesive look can be achieved so you feel effortlessly beautiful! I am always available for consultations or questions beauty related. Just drop me a line, Cheers!
