About Me

Mary found her passion for makeup as a professional swing dancer. Growing up as a tomboy, she never learned about makeup until at a swing performance, she asked a fellow troupe member to help her. Immediately, she was entranced by the ability to create, express and make a person feel beautiful. After reading every beauty and makeup book on the market and watching every youtube video possible, she realized she had found her passion and enrolled in Cinema Makeup School (Nov 2011). There she studied: Bridal, Beauty, Hair Styling, High Fashion, Grooming, Period, Film, TV, and Print. Currently, she is busy doing makeup mainly for weddings, special events, headshots and photo shoots.  You can check out her portfolio here. 

Mary loves creating natural, classic and dramatic looks that really bring out all the beautiful features of her clients. For questions or booking inquiries, contact me!
