Your wedding photos last forever. Your makeup artist? Better be worth it.

Let's be honest: your wedding day is high stakes. You're going to be photographed more than any other day of your life—hugged by over 100 people, stared at by everyone you love, and captured in every lighting situation imaginable. Your makeup can't just look good at 10 AM. It has to perform.

That's where I come in.

I'm Sydney—a Rhode Island bridal makeup artist with 15 years of experience creating long-wearing, camera-ready looks for all skin tones. My Italian and West Indian roots give me an innate understanding of diverse beauty across cultures, skin tones, and bridal styles. I've trained under celebrity makeup artist Debra Macki, using the same red-carpet techniques on you that are used on magazine covers. Your makeup isn't just designed to look stunning in person—it's engineered to be photographed. Every angle. Every close-up. Every aunt's iPhone selfie.

I don't just slap on whatever's trendy. I know ingredients, formulas, and what actually works for 12 plus hour wear. My years at MAC, Sephora, and Bare Minerals taught me the science behind the artistry. Sensitive skin? Oily T-zone? Breakout the week before? I know exactly how to handle it without compromising your look.

15 years means I've seen it all—outdoor ceremonies in July humidity, tears during vows, all-night receptions. Your makeup will hold up. Deep skin tones glow—they don't go grey. Fair skin glows—it doesn't wash out. I've perfected professional bridal makeup for every complexion across New England, especially Newport and Boston weddings.

If you're going to invest in one thing for your wedding day, make it the thing that's in every single photo.
