Makeup Artist
Los Angeles AND Orange County Bridal Makeup Artist for Modern, Confident Brides
Soft. Timeless. Camera-Ready Glam That Lasts All Day.
"Denise did a BEYOND amazing job for my wedding! I didn't have the time to do a trial but shared my previous experience with a makeup artist and my worry with looking too orange. She assured me that she works with olive skin tones and is confident that I will not be orange. I sent her a few examples of what I want which was to keep it natural yet glam as I still wanted to feel like myself. The morning of my wedding I showed her my outfit that I was wearing and the colors and she PERFECTLY color matched my lipstick color to the outfit. I got soooo many compliments on my makeup and am beyond glad I went with Denise. She made me feel so confident on my special day."

Can you travel out of state for on-location shoots or destination weddings?
Yes! I do accept a limited number of destination and out-of-state weddings each year. Travel, hotel, and meal accommodations are required and will be discussed during the booking process so everything feels clear and stress-free.
How do I officially book you for my wedding?
To officially reserve your date, a 50% non-refundable retainer is required along with a signed contract. Once both are received, your wedding date is secured on my calendar.
Do you offer hairstyling services?
Yes, I offer light hairstyling services that pair beautifully with my makeup work. For more intricate styles, I’m happy to recommend trusted professional hairstylists whose services are booked separately.
Do you have a team for bridal parties?
I don’t have a team, but I work closely with a trusted network of makeup artists and hairstylists.
What payment methods do you accept? Do you offer payment plans?
I accept credit/debit card through my website provider. I also offer payment plans through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay to make the booking process easier. The remaining balance is due one week prior to the wedding date. Gratuity is always appreciated but never required and can be given at your discretion on the day of the wedding.
