Are you a makeup minimalist who wants to look polished and effortlessly fresh on her wedding day? Do you want to look “bridal” but at the same time want to be recognizable? If so, then you have come to the right place – you won’t find heavy transformative makeup here. As an esthetician, I believe makeup and skin care go hand in hand (keep scrolling for my skincare service reccomendations and timeline to best prepare your skin). My bridal makeup philosophy is to enhance your natural features rather than mask them with layers of foundation…bring on the freckles!

Want to elevate your bridal look with Eyelash Extensions?
Lash extensions look flawless in photos; they enhance your natural beauty, look more more natural than strip or cluster lashes, and you won’t have to to worry about mascara running down your face if you tear up! They last 2-4 weeks so are also a great way to elevate your look for your bridal shower, bachelorette party, and honeymoon!
Just make sure you plan ahead; if you’ve never had lash extensions before, take into mind that allergic reactions/eye irritations may occur. I suggest you plan accordingly with a lash trial 2-3 weeks before the event just in case. If no irritations occur you can follow up with a fill just a few days before the big event to ensure your lashes are at their fullest! Click here for more information on my lash extension services!
The Wedding Countdown…Recommended Services and Timelines to Achieve Glowing Skin
8-10 weeks before: Tame big issues now, while there’s still enough downtime for necessary treatments. A series of peels will lighten, tighten and brighten any skin. Choose a course of three peels to do two weeks apart. The Chemical Peel Treatments are 30 minute appointments and cost $85.
2 weeks before: If you want lash extensions for your big day but have never tried them before, two-three weeks before your big day is a great time for a Lash Extension Trial. If you’re looking to kick your skin into high gear, I recommend a facial, this will give the skin a blast of potent antioxidants and help retain hydration in the week leading up to the event. These boosting facials are 45 minute appointments (include extractions and upper body/facial massage) and cost $100.
Week Of Wedding: Every bride deserves a pampering session a few days before her wedding day. Oxygen facials require no downtime, are gentle on the skin and the results are instant. Dermaplaning is a terrific add on to the mini O2 Lift for that extra glow!
MINI O2 LIFT ($85, 30 MIN): The O2 Lift Facial or “Red Carpet Facial” is a luxurious facial treatment which infuses oxygen, plant derived stem cells, peptides and high concentrations of enzymatic botanicals into the skin, which leaves it luminous, refreshed and rejuvenated. Among the many positive effects Oxygen has on the skin, is that it instantly brightens, speeds up healing and circulation by bringing nutrition to the skin, fights toxins and reduces stress, to name but a few – all-in-all making this a treatment which absolutely everyone would benefit from. This mini 30 minute version of the standard O2 lift does not include extractions and requires no pre-treatment and no down time afterwards, making it ideal for brides!
Dermaplaning Add On ($35): Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from your face. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and acne scars, as well as removes peach fuzz which allows makeup to go on more smoothly and for products to penetrate deeper. *This can be added to any facial (including mini), O2 Lift, or Peel treatment.
