Beauty That Feels Like You

Your wedding makeup should feel like an elevated version of you—not a costume, not a trend, and not someone else’s idea of what a bride should look like.

My approach to bridal beauty is intentional, personal, and detail-driven. I consider your skin, features, comfort level, personal style, wedding aesthetic, and how your makeup needs to perform both in person and in photographs.

Whether you envision something soft and barely-there, romantic and polished, modern glam, or a little moodier, we’ll create a look that feels completely at home on your face.

The goal is simple: for you to look in the mirror and still recognize yourself—just beautifully refined for one of the most photographed days of your life.

From your first inquiry to your wedding morning, the process is designed to feel clear, organized, and personal.

Bridal Services & investment

  • Wedding-day makeup tailored to your features, skin, personal style, and overall wedding aesthetic. Includes customized skin preparation, professional makeup application, lashes when appropriate, and a touch-up kit with a lipstick sample for the day.

  • A dedicated appointment to create, refine, and document your wedding-day look before the wedding. We’ll talk through your inspiration, preferences, skin needs, and any adjustments so your final look feels completely intentional.

  • Professional makeup for bridesmaids, family members, and wedding attendants. Each application is customized to the individual rather than applying one identical look across the entire party.

  • A polished look created specifically for your rehearsal dinner or welcome event. Perfect if you want to feel elevated without simply repeating your wedding-day makeup.

Optional add ons

  • A very light, age-appropriate finishing service for younger members of the wedding party. This may include gentle skin prep, subtle complexion or cheek color, and a touch of lip color as appropriate.

    10 & under

  • Camera-conscious makeup designed around your session, wardrobe, lighting, and comfort level. The look can range from soft and romantic to more defined or editorial depending on the direction of your shoot.

  • Optional airbrush complexion application for clients who prefer that technique and finish. I’ll help determine whether airbrush or traditional foundation is the better choice for your skin and desired result.

  • Either myself or one of my talented hair stylists in my large network. Extension application may be addioinal charge.

Travel & Minimums

On-location bridal services are available throughout Austin, the surrounding areas, and the Texas Hill Country.

Travel is calculated from my Austin studio based on the wedding location and the number of artists required.

During peak wedding season, a minimum of Bride + 2 additional makeup services may be required for on-location bookings.

For smaller weddings, weekday celebrations, or dates outside peak season, minimums may be reduced or waived depending on availability.

Your customized proposal will clearly outline any travel, early-start, additional artist, or location-specific fees before you book.

Out-of-state and destination weddings are also welcome, with a special soft spot for Colorado. Travel is quoted individually based on location, accommodations, and event logistics.

Travel — $1 per mile, round trip, per artist

Extended On-Site Time / Touch-Ups — quoted based on availability

If you would like me to remain on-site beyond the contracted service window for additional makeup services, touch-ups, photography, or timeline delays, extended time may be added when availability allows.

Retainer — $250

A non-refundable retainer is required to officially reserve your wedding date. Your date is not considered booked until both the signed contract and retainer have been received.

Remaining Balance

The remaining balance is due according to the payment schedule listed in your contract and proposal. Your final service total will reflect the confirmed number of services, travel, and any applicable additional fees.

Before the Aisle

The best wedding-day beauty begins long before the makeup chair.

Before the Aisle is a private collection of bridal prep services created exclusively for booked Black Parade brides. From skin and brows to lashes and waxing, each offering is designed to support the final look we’re creating together and make your beauty prep feel thoughtful rather than overwhelming.

Consider it your quiet little head start on the wedding day—intentional, beautifully timed, and reserved just for my brides.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not at all. Inspiration photos are helpful, but you do not need to arrive with every detail figured out. Part of my job is helping translate your preferences, comfort level, features, wedding aesthetic, and inspiration into a look that feels like you.

  • Not required. A Bridal Preview is strongly recommended. It gives us time to hang out, get to know each other, create your look, make adjustments, discuss your preferences in detail, and document everything before the wedding day so there are no surprises.

  • I typically recommend scheduling your preview several weeks to a few months before the wedding. This gives us enough time to refine any details while still keeping the final look fresh in your mind.

  • Bring any inspiration photos you love, photos of yourself in makeup you have liked before, and anything that helps communicate the overall feeling of your wedding. You will also complete a consultation form beforehand so I can learn more about your skin, preferences, and vision.

  • Yes. Lash application is included when appropriate for the look. Lash style is customized based on your comfort level, eye shape, and desired finish, from very natural to more defined.

  • Makeup can soften and minimize the appearance of texture, but it cannot completely erase natural skin texture or create a real-life filter. My focus is on thoughtful skin preparation and strategic product placement so the complexion looks polished and beautiful both in person and in photographs.

  • Yes. For larger parties or tighter timelines, additional professional artists may be brought in so everyone can be completed comfortably and on schedule.

  • Yes. I can accommodate select bridal and event hairstyling depending on the look, timeline, and service needs. For more intricate styles, larger parties, or situations where a dedicated hairstylist would better serve the day, I work with a trusted network of professional stylists and can coordinate the appropriate artist when available.

  • Yes. Bridal services are available on location throughout Austin, the surrounding areas, and the Texas Hill Country. Travel fees are calculated based on location and artist requirements.

  • I typically reserve approximately 60 minutes for the bride and around 45 minutes for each attendant. Additional buffer time is built into the schedule whenever possible.

  • During peak wedding season, a minimum of Bride + 2 additional makeup services may apply for on-location bookings. Minimums may be reduced or waived for smaller weddings, weekdays, or dates outside peak season depending on availability.

  • I will either create or review the makeup timeline so it works alongside hair, photography, getting dressed, and your required ready time. For larger parties, I will also coordinate timing with any additional artists.

  • Your wedding date is officially reserved once your contract has been signed and the required non-refundable retainer has been received.

  • Dates are not held without a completed contract and retainer. Availability is first-come, first-served.

  • The remaining balance and payment schedule will be clearly outlined in your contract and proposal before booking.
