Makeup is more than technique—it’s about truly seeing yourself, knowing what enhances your features, and feeling confident in your own skin.

These sessions are completely personalized. I’ll analyze your skin type, facial features, and lifestyle to suggest techniques, textures, and shades that truly suit you.
