Makeup Artist
Your Questions Answered...
Booking a wedding makeup artist is a real decision with real stakes.
You want to know what to expect, what's included, how the day runs, and whether I'm the right fit before you reach out.
These are the questions bride ask most and answered directly, so you can decide with confidence.
When should I book my wedding makeup?
You can reserve your date 12–24 months ahead for peak season (May–October). Newport and Boston dates book quickly, especially June and September Saturdays, and I only take one wedding per day. Your preview is scheduled 3–4 months before the wedding, so booking early secures your date and gives you plenty of time to feel confident about your look. If your wedding is under 6 months away, reach out—there may still be availability.
What if I cry during the ceremony?
Your makeup is built to last. I use waterproof, long-wearing formulas designed for 12 plus hours of wear -- through tears, humidity, dancing, and everything in between. I provide you with a touch-up kit and coach you on how to use it.
Why are your previews held 3 to 4 months before the wedding?
Your preview is scheduled 3–4 months before the wedding because that’s when all the key details are finalized. By then, you know your dress, hairstyle, floral colors, and whether you’ll have a spray tan—each of these affects your makeup. I need the full picture to design a cohesive look. Doing a preview too early means guessing; doing it closer to the date means precision and a look tailored to your actual wedding, not an early draft.
What happens if I want to change something from my preview?
Your preview is the time to fine‑tune your look, so honest feedback matters. If anything feels too heavy, too light, or not like you, say so—I’ll adjust and explain each change so we land on a version that feels like you, elevated.
What's your makeup style?
Soft glam - timeless, elevated, skin-like full coverage that enhances without looking heavy or feeling cakey. You'll look polished and radiant, but still like yourself because I take time prepping the skin and working in thin layers. Brides tell me they felt confident and looked like themselves, just elevated.
What's included in the bridal makeup service?
Your bridal makeup experience includes a consultation, a 90‑minute preview, customized skin prep, long‑wearing day‑of makeup with lashes, a touch‑up kit, and clear prep guides and timelines so you feel fully prepared from start to finish.
What products do you use?
Professional formulas from NARS, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Tom Ford, and other luxury brands tested for longevity and photography. I customize products based on your skin type and concerns. We discuss your specific needs during our initial phone call and preview appointment.
Do you work with all skin tones?
Yes, I've worked with brides across every skin tone from fair to deep. My Italian and West Indian roots mean I understand diverse beauty. I know how to make deep skin glow without going grey, how to match fair skin without washing out, and how to enhance olive and tan tones. Your foundation will match. Your makeup will photograph beautifully.
Do I need a preview or trial?
Yes. Your preview is required and happens 3 to 4 months before your wedding. This is where we build your look together. We review your inspiration photos, test products on your skin, and adjust until you feel confident. You'll see how the makeup photographs, how it wears throughout the day, and exactly what to expect on your wedding morning.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. I regularly travel throughout Rhode Island and Boston. I have traveled for destinations in Florida and Germany and am passport ready for international weddings. Travel fees depend on location. Contact for a quote.
How long does bridal makeup take on the wedding day?
60 to 120 minutes per bride depending on the intricacy of the makeup look. Bridesmaids take 45 to 60 minutes each. I build buffer time into every timeline, so your morning feels calm, not rushed.
Where is your studio located?
I am currently in Cranston, RI and will be relocating early spring 2026.
