From a very young age I knew I wanted to work with makeup. My mother had a flair for fashion and beauty and would take me to makeup events around the DFW area. I took my first cosmetics job at the local makeup counter while balancing college. From there my love of the makeup world blossomed and evolved even more. I kept working my way up from behind the counter of Neiman Marcus to the fast pace and most cut throat world of makeup artistry, NYC. There in New York I was trained by and worked with Trish McEvoy. She single handly picked me out of several artists to be on her New York Team. I then moved on to be the National Makeup Artist, traveling all over as the face of NARS cosmetics. I was shuffled in and out of department stores world wide. I was catching flights weekly to train, teach, and showcase my artistry skills. However, the most thrilling part was the fashion shows, photo shoots, music video and movie sets. I have done makeup for many
New York Fashion Week (NYFW) shows including, Marc Jacobs, Philip Lim, Thakoon, Herve Leger, and Marchesa to name a few.
I have worked with many famous ladies including Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Lachey, Hillary Duff, Donatella Versace and her daughter, Jordan Dunn, and many woman from the Real Housewives Franchise.
My work has been featured in Vogue Online, Harpers Bazaar Online, Pop Sugar, WWD (Women's Wear Daily), 360 West, 360 West Weddings, Paper City, Fort Worth Weekly, Indulge, Getty Images, D Magazine, Dallas Observer, Junebug Weddings, Brides of North Texas, The Scout Guide Fort Worth,
New York Fashion week blogs, Bravo TV, The Perfect Palette, Green Wedding Shoes, Southern Living Magazine, 100 Layer Cake and many more.
I stand firm in my belief that it takes more than graduating hair school, or watching a few how to videos to master make up artistry. It takes years of commitment, learning, trial and error to become a master of your craft.
