celebrity makeup artist and professional mua
Growing up as a drawer and dancer, I have always found creative ways to showcase beauty. Many years of applying stage makeup and practicing my drawing have left me with a passion for makeup and a skillset that comes naturally. Bringing my artistry to makeup was a seamless transition into a rewarding career as a professional makeup artist.
With 15 years in the make up industry this far, in creating inspired looks for clients comes naturally and is extremely rewarding. I started my career right out of high school. Being a dancer my entire life I always had to do stage make up and it came so easy to to me. I always knew this is what I was called to do in my life. I am a self-taught make up artist and very proud of that. My first job in the makeup world was with MAC Cosmetics. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think I would be where I am today. Since then I have worked with many high-end brands and artists Who have helped me grow into the professional I am today.
Having been on my own with DM Makeup for the past 5 years, I have been able to craft a team of 10 amazing ladies who help me achieve my dream of not only running a successful business, but creating glamourous, high quality makeup looks for an array of client types. I have been so fortunate to work with celebrity clients such as Katherine Narducci (Soprano’s, Netflix movie The Irishmen and Epix’s The Godfather of Harlem), Mercedes Javid (Bravo’s The Shah’s of Sunset), Anne Winters (Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why), Kimmie Shields (Netflix’s Insatiable), Danielle Staub (Bravo’s RHONJ), and Angelina Pivarnick (Jersey Shore). My work has also been featured in various fashion ad campaigns for designer Donna Degnan and Randi Rahm as well as a number of music videos for recording artist, Lisa Pure. The DM brand is affiliated with top wedding venues in New York including the Inn at New Hyde Park and Russo’s On the Bay. I am also a featured Makeup Artist at De La Mar Salon and Spa. My work has brought me to high profile events like the Oscars as I worked with red carpet artists and many more opportunities that I am so grateful for.
My personal style is definitely high glam and that shines through throughout my work as a specialty of mine. I have a lot of inspirations, some of which are a few celebrity MUA’s that I love so much, but also the glamourous bridal looks that I am trusted with and get to create for these women’s special days! There is no other feeling like making people feel beautiful and confident. Seeing clients leave my chair not only looking gorgeous, but with a smile that radiates confidence is what really motivates and reassures me that this is what I was meant to do.
I live happily in Long Island, New York with my 2 fur babies, Ghost and Haze. I love looking and feeling my best, so a statement lip color in my look is always a staple in my everyday routine.
​
While I love a good high glam look, mine and my team’s goal is always to ensure that the client’s desires and specifications, whatever they may be, are met and hopefully to surpass expectations along the way.
I am confident that my team and I will be able to create a unique and flawless look for our clients no matter what the event or desired result. As professional and experienced artists, our mission is to enhance your natural beauty while also providing a stress free, pampered experience.
