THE WOMAN BEHIND THE magic

MY STORY
this is why I do
WHAT I DO
For the past 18 years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping women feel beautiful, confident, and truly seen. From bridal glam to permanent makeup, my approach is simple: I treat every face as if it were my own. It’s never just makeup- it’s an experience meant to leave you with a quiet, lasting confidence.
Clients often become friends, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Beauty is personal, and so is the experience I offer. I’m easygoing, extremely curious, and known to chat about everything from skincare routines to your latest life updates (and whatever else you’re open to sharing)! When I’m not in my beauty bubble, you’ll find me hollering from the sidelines of son’s soccer games, redecorating my studio, or deep in a true crime rabbit hole.
If you’re still reading this, I’ll take it as a sign you found what you were looking for. I genuinely can’t wait to meet you! XO

About me
My Makeup Routine.
I’ve worn my fair share of makeup over the last 20 years. Nowadays, my daily routine is fairly simple: a little concealer to brighten under my eyes, tinted moisturizer to even out my complexion, cream blush (or bronzer) applied with my fingers, lip balm and of course— mascara! I don’t bother with eyeshadow unless it’s for a special occasion.
Guilty Pleasures.
I’m a sucker a sweets. A pastry with my coffee? Yes, please. A treat after dinner? Always. Preferably two different desserts if we’re out to eat— because variety. Throw in a true crime podcast and I’m in heaven.
Risky Business.
I love being out of my comfort zone and taking risks (unless we’re talking sky diving or bungee jumping.) I’ve done over a dozen Spartan Races— jumping through fire, into ice cold lakes, braving miles of rough terrain, and surprisingly making it past the finish line. There is something special about proving yourself wrong.
My best advice?
Be a good human. Go the extra mile to be kind. Celebrate the small wins. Do the things that scare you. Move your body and appreciate what it’s capable of. Find gratitude in the little things. Fail and have fun doing it. But most importantly… love yourself.

2006
Where it began
I turn in a “resume” to my favorite makeup counter. It was pretty brave considering my experience was limited to trial and error on friends & family.
2009
My first wedding
A frequent customer asked if I would do her wedding makeup. The people pleaser in me said “yes”, but the voice in the back of my head screamed “Are you crazy, Lisa!?”
2013
From scratch
I left behind my full-time job with No business plan-just a deep love for beauty and a “let’s see what happens” kind of energy. Without that delusional optimism, I’d still be working for someone else, wondering “what if.…”
2015
Humble brag
A handful of my Halloween looks went viral on Pinterest & before I knew it, The Today Show was calling. Glamour magazine, Marie Claire, and other outlets started sharing my work. That exposure led to incredible opportunities and partnerships. Not bad for a girl who once bought liquid latex at Party City.
