GlowIn Makeup was created with you in mind.

  My career began after "auditioning" to become the Counter Manager for Smashbox Cosmetics in the late 1990s. I was trained by the company's Senior Artists whose work was primarily doing makeup on celebrity photo shoots, television, and film. Working for a Studio Line was great exposure to makeup techniques, but I wanted to learn more about skincare. So I sought to work for a cosmetic line that offered not only makeup but skincare and fragrance.   

I started freelancing and working on weddings, photoshoots and some TV work almost immediately. I had the pleasure of doing makeup for the Diva herself, DJ Irene, for a show inwhich she interviewed DJ's who were performing in the Los Angeles house music scene.

In 2001 I was hired to create Custom Blend Makeup. 

Formulating exact match foundation, powder, and concealer (from scratch) at Nordstrom. Becoming a Custom Blend Artist and Business Manager for Prescriptives Cosmetics, was one of the best choices I could have made for my career. I learned color theory and the art of matching makeup for every skin tone under the sun. Through Nordstrom, I also became Skin Care Certified in 2002 and an FNL graduate (Future Nordstrom Leader) in 2006.

In 2006 I was promoted to Assistant Department Manager of Cosmetics and Fragrance at the Westside Store before leaving the company in 2009. Working retail allowed me to work on women of all ages, skin tones, and skin types.

In 2010 I landed on San Juan Island, for what was intended to be a
6-week visit that changed the course of my life. After a few weeks, 

I became intrigued about what life would be like here and decided to fly back to LA to get my belongings. I didn’t have a job when I decided to move here, but it was not hard to get one with my skills. 

I was hired almost instantly at Roche Harbor Resort's Afterglow Spa where I proudly worked my way from Seasonal Receptionist to Lead Makeup Artist almost over night. I loved working at the spa. There I had the privilege of working with hundreds of resort brides over my 10-year spa career. Becoming Spa Manager in 2015. I am grateful to have been part of the team that built the rich history of Roche Harbor Weddings from 2010-2019 and now as an independent vendor in 2020.

I specialize in natural, radiant, and enhanced versions of the person in my chair. I prefer quality time over quantity when it comes to a wedding party. Elopements, micro-weddings, and small parties of 5 or less are my specialties.

 I combine my love for skincare and beauty, by offering services that meet every woman's needs. I carry quality and SPA industry skincare along with premium studio makeup lines that specialize in long-wearing formulas.    


For clean beauty lovers, I did not forget about you! I also incorporate Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics and La Bella Donna Linea Minerale, the SPA industry’s leading collections offering the purest ingredients for healthy and radiant skin!   

Through my detail-focused hands-on experience and extensive skills in bridal makeup, not to mention time management. I commit to supporting you by creating a look that highlights your personality and flair. So that you can feel confident, while naturally glowing down the aisle.
