With fifteen years in the makeup industry thus far, creating inspired looks for clients comes naturally and is extremely rewarding. I began my career after attending the Long Island Beauty School and have since worked with many high-end brands and artists that have helped me grow into the professional I am today. Joining the makeup team for MAC Cosmetics as my first job was an amazing opportunity. During 6 years with MAC, I was exposed to the glamourous side of makeup through my participation in many celebrity-sponsored events and NY Fashion Week. After years of gaining rich experience on the makeup team, I moved forward in my career as the manager of Armani Makeup and eventually the Regional Makeup Artist for Smashbox Cosmetics. While I traveled the northeast in my position with Smashbox, my bridal makeup business began to take off and with that, DM Makeup artistry was born!
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.
