Licensed Esthetician and Professional Makeup Artist
Hello - I'm Anjelica. Licensed Medical Esthetician and Makeup Artist. Thank you for taking the time to check out my work, and possibly book with me.
Where did you receive training?
I started working in the beauty industry as a Makeup Artist in 2001 just after graduating high school. I've had informal as well as formal training. Some of the big-name cosmetic companies I've worked with are: Urban Decay, Bare Essentials (Bare Minerals), MAC Cosmetics, Too Faced, Origins and Stila. I graduated from the esthetics program at Tricocci Beauty and continued my education into Medical Esthetics through various certification courses.
Additional Certifications:
- Laser Hair Removal, Microneedling RF and IPL (INMODE)
- Dermaplaining (Dermaplane Pro Academy)
- VI Peel medical grade chemical peels (Vitality Institute)
- Salt Facial (SaltMed)
How far in advance should I secure makeup for my event?
- While I can't speak for other artists, I personally book dates as far as 18 months in advance. Especially during peak season. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in booking.
Do you airbrush?
- Yes. I specialize in bridal beauty services which includes airbrushing. I offer makeup services for all types of events. Bridal, school functions, photo sessions including boudoir, headshots, and Halloween "looks".
What is the difference between traditional foundation and airbrush makeup?
- Although, there are different airbrush makeup formulas. I use Temptu Pro which is designed to last through humidity, tears, rain, sweat, etc. Airbrush is sprayed onto the skin vs buffing it into the skin. It sort of creates a "blurring" effect which helps to create a seamless look. It hides flaws, doesn't feel cakey or heavy, and looks amazing in photos! It's basically like wearing a photo filter on your wedding day, or whichever event you're attending.
Do you travel?
- Absolutely. I travel anywhere my client needs me to be. Including destination weddings. The first 15 miles are included in the bride's package rate, for local events. There is a small mileage fee for locations further than 15 miles.
- Full costs for travel, room and board are to be covered by the contracted client for all destination weddings.
