Services

Photo & Video Shoots

     I have extensive experience doing makeup for model actor photo shoots, print ads, fashion magazines, editorial, and video.  Besides being an experienced makeup artist I am also a licensed hairdresser and WILL do light hair for this type of work as I have in past jobs.  Feel free to take a look at my online fashion and commercial portfolio which shows my work.  Just click “Portfolios” at the top of the page.  Please contact me and we can talk about the type of job you have and when and where it is located.  We can talk about rates at that time.  My rates are VERY reasonable.

 Weddings

     When it comes to brides, I love being a part of the creative process of making you look your absolute best on the most important day of your life!  Please take a look at my online portfolios so you can get an idea of my work!  Just click on “Portfolios” at the top of the page.  I do not list my prices on my website!  Please contact me with the details about your wedding for my prices.  I can guarantee they are VERY reasonable, probably more reasonable than others for the quality of work you will be getting and the experience I offer. When you call or email let me know four things:

1) What is the date of your wedding?

2) What time would you need me?

3) Where will you need me to go? 

4) How many in your party will be needing makeup?

     I also do trials and in fact I highly recommend them for the bride so we can meet each other before your wedding day and I can do a trial run of your makeup.  We will go over the colors we will be using and have everything written down on a chart ready to go for the big day!     

    I do not do hair for brides but I can refer you to others who specialize in hair.  I think on a busy day like this it’s important to have two artists one who specializes in makeup and one who specializes in hairstyling. 

Proms and Special Occasions

     Like Weddings, I also do makeup for proms and any type of special occasion.  Please take a look at my online portfolios by clicking on “Portfolios” at the top of the page.  I do not list my prices on the website.  Please contact me and I can go over prices with you.  I guarantee they are VERY reasonable for the quality of work you will be getting and the experience I offer.  Just let me know what the date is, what time you need me, and where I need to go.  Proms and Special Occassions are exciting and I can help you look fantastic for your special day

Makeup Lessons

     I always said that if I had not gone into makeup I would have been a teacher, so doing makeup lessons is right up my alley.  If you have always wondered how to do your makeup and how to choose the right colors that are best for you than you have come to the right place.  Please take a look at my online portfolios so you can see the type of work I do.  Just click on “Portfolios” at the top of the page.  How it works is I have the client bring over all the existing makeup that they are currently using.  We lay it out and go through it and I advise you on which colors and products will work for you.  I also will show you my own makeup line NEW CREATION COSMETICS and most likely recommend some products and colors from my line.  My makeup line is comparable to dept store lines at much a more affordable price.  If you would like to see my products and colors please click on the link that says “Cosmetics”.  I do no list prices for my services on my website.  Please contact me for individual pricing.  I guarantee they are VERY reasonable for the quality of work you will be getting and the experience I offer.  I look forward to teaching you and helping you look your very best.  

Makeup Parties

     What better way to spend a night than to invite your friends over and have a makeup party!  Please take a look at my online portfolios to see the type of work I do.  Just click on “Portfolios" at the top of the page.  For a Makeup Party I come to you and with my complete line of makeup.  I will take time to do quick mini makeovers on you and your friends and suggest products and colors that will be great for everyone.  I do not charge to come and do makeup parties but the goal is to make some sales at the party.  If anyone books a party of at least 3 guests plus yourself, you will receive a % of the total sales of the party in free cosmetics!!  What a great incentive to throw a party!  My own makeup line is called NEW CREATION COSMETICS and you can see all my products by clicking on “Cosmetics” at the top of this page.  Just let me know the date and time you would like to have it, where you need me to go and the amount of people expected.

Haircuts

     Although I specialize in makeup I also still love cutting hair.  I am licensed and went to cosmetology school for both hair and makeup and worked in the salon for many years doing all areas of hairdressing.  I am willing to come to your home or you can come to my home.  Feel free to look at my online portfolios by clicking on “Portfolios” at the top of the page.  I do not list prices on my website so please contact me for prices.  I guarantee they are VERY reasonable.  This service is especially good for moms with little kids and babies who can’t find time to get to the salon.
