Luxury bridal makeup & hair team serving Vermont, SW FL & beyond! I have always had a passion for makeup! After all, practice makes perfect! XO
Hillary
It started in 8th grade when I was bullied for having acne. Back then, I caked on the makeup and it did NOT look good. Over the years, I have watched and learned from some of the best beauty bloggers out there. I am a Certified International Makeup Professional- this accreditation is through QC Makeup Academy. Nathan Johnson was an amazing tutor who worked on 2 seasons of Project Runway, and worked on celebs like Lea Michele, Paul McCartney, and Jessica Alba! Over the past year, I have had enough people tell me that I should get paid for what I do- so here I am! I take great pride in my work and that includes cleanliness and sanitation! I sanitize all brushes between clients and use disposable applicators when necessary. Makeup truly is an art form, and I appreciate you considering me to be your makeup artist! Feel free to message, call, email, or text to book today!

Hi👋
Call me whatever you’d like— but definitely call me when you want the best bridal glam in Vermont 💋🥰
📣PSA: while most of those Pinterest hairstyles you’re browsing are stunning (and SOME) are practical for a long wedding day— it’s important to keep in mind that many of those looks were styled for JUST an hour photoshoot… not an entire 12+ hour wedding day.
Real weddings (especially in Vermont) have wind, humidity, possible rain & other elements to contend with. Sometimes that might mean tweaking your style to be practical & long wearing for the weather THAT particular day.
We are here to help guide & properly prep your hair to ensure you have the best, long wearing style for your specific day 💕

I always chuckle when people ask me what “my real job is”😮💨😂
THIS. Running and operating a bridal team is a lot of overheard, time, energy & money!
August was a higher in expenses as we don’t normally have a branding shoot or new studio costs every month, BUT, you get the idea! It was also our busiest wedding month of 2026, so income was higher as well.
This industry is very much a “you spend money to make money” vibe.
If your bridal vision includes any of these— let’s chat 💕
