your GLAM experience

Envision a day that embodies “classic sophistication”.

My signature glam - “getting you to look smashing on camera with radiant skin, gorgeous brows & eyes, blushing cheeks and the perfect pout!”

Wedding mornings have a lot of moving parts and I would love to be by your side.

Makeup begins at $295.00 (Airbrush/Hair addl)

TMA’s point of difference…


minimalist makeup for all skintones & complexions

For this radiant bride, we used Airbrush formula ($325) to enhance her natural glow. I believe starting with a clean and organized space, and a pampering skincare routine before the glam ever begins. I created a soft, glowing complexion with seamless foundation, subtle contouring and a touch of highlight to accent her beauty. Neutral eye-shadows are used to never overpower; leaving you feeling radiant and confident like Nikki.

“Makeup should project a romantic you, not a different you!”


airbrush formulation

Airbrush makeup is a real favorite among the TMA Brides (around 80% choose it!)

WHAT IS IT: this technique applies a liquid foundation with an air gun, creating an even coverage.

VALUE ADD: This formula is so sheer that its’ almost undetectable. It’s for the MINIMALIST BRIDE. Feels incredibly light and breathable, designed to enhance your natural beauty without feeling heavy or cakey on your skin.

LONGEVITY: Average wear time is up to 10 hours,

RATES: Airbrush $325

  • “The no makeup makeup look” - demure. glowing skin. using sheer foundation or airbrushing, hints of blush, tamed brows, neutral lips guides this fresh & clean aesthetic. This look works well for: outdoor weddings, beach ceremonies and intimate gatherings where a fresh dewy finish compliments the natural setting.

    “Classic/Traditional Glam”: Eyes are lined with subtle winged liner, soft rosey cheeks, bronzer/highlighter on the high points of the face reminiscent of romance, traditional like! Embodies timeless elegance, styles you’d see in a bridal-editorial because of the sophistication.

    “Chic Glamour”: Smokey eyes, bold/red-carpet hollywood like. Contour, matte powders, statement lip, transformative because in your everyday life you’re more relaxed

  • While the H&M trial appointment is definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of wedding planning, I tend to work in SMALL spaces so you are encouraged to come solo.

  • As a mobile makeup artist working across shared spaces, my location varies. For booking inquiries, please reach out, and I’ll do my best to coordinate a convenient local space.

  • 80% of TMA Brides choose the A/B finish vs. traditional formulas because it’s so sheer, almost undetectable. They also love that it feels weightless.

    Average wear time is up to 10 hours.

    Note: Airbrush won’t cover (deep or large acne scarring, moles, etc) and if derma-planning isn’t your thing, this formulation tends to sit on top of our peach fuzz!

  • Imagine your skin, feeling as soft and smooth as a petal. It’s more than hair removal; it creates the best beautiful even canvas for your makeup to guide on flawlessly. Derma-planning is an act of SELF CARE. It removes those tiny, peach fuzz hairs that buildup over time. Underneath all that hair, reveals the radiant glow that always been within you! It allows your radiance to shine- through.

  • Yes, while hair isn’t my core service if the style is straightforward, ie. {Half/Up Half Down, Beach wave or low Chignon styles} these can likely be achieved.

    No “braiding” is offered.

    Alternatively, I have trusted hair buddies, so please just ask for a referral list :)

  • No, you are encouraged to tidy your brows for either your event date or trial preview. Need a referral, here's a trusted one: Alresa (owner of the Brow Lounge here in the EastBay) http://www.eyebrowlounge.com

  • Yes! I cover the entire SF Bay Area (exception: Santa Cruz and Stinson Beach or TimberCove) areas with problematic terrain, so unless a Helicopter escort is involved, those areas are off-limits😬.

    Napa/Wine Country & Sacramento - serviced

    Destination weddings - absolutely!

    Mileage/ Toll/Travel fee’s will apply.

  • Absolutely. Destination Weddings are my favorite. Back in 2022, I traveled to EUROPE, that wedding was epic!! My passport is current - let's go!

  • Typically, hair gets done first, followed by makeup. But just because this is the usual flow of the morning doesn’t mean you can’t alter - do you!!

  • Makeup can enhance your groom’s features too. Concealing, color correction, anti-shine, and a very light powder application can do the trick. Very common among the Actors, Celebrities crowd! Why not for Grooms and Groomsmen:)!

  • Yes, for weekend nuptials. There is either a (2) person or minimum of $550 that must be met.

  • (For Non Airbrush Brides:) Blot sheets work wonders to remove shine or having a velvet triangle cushion on hand, comes in clutch!

    Lipstick might also need refreshing after drinking or eating, so having your favorite color nearby is recommended.

    TMA has started to package touch-up kits, so inquire further.

  • "One thing to keep in mind is to trust your initial reaction in the makeup chair. Sometimes, after sharing photos, well-meaning loved ones might offer opinions that could sway you from what you initially loved…it's worth remembering that beauty is subjective. You might adore your makeup in the moment, and while feedback from loved ones is natural, try to hold onto what made you feel confident - that GIRL!"
