Kind words from our
happy clients
“Frances was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a small wedding ceremony, and I especially wanted our moms (and me!) to feel special and beautiful on our wedding day. I was a bit worried about finding a makeup artist that could work with our various skin tones, so finding someone that had a portfolio with a diverse clientele was very important to me."
“Frances was especially organized and flexible. I had a very particular idea in mind for my makeup look and she executed it perfectly during my trial and on the big day.”
“From the very first time I contacted Frances she was helpful, warm and prompt. She really took the time to explain to me the pros and cons of each style honestly. She has a great sense of humor and personality that she fit in well with everyone that was helping me get ready. My makeup and hair lasted well through the night and into the next morning (I know I know I didn't take my makeup off that night) 😆.”
Hi, I’m Frances
Owner and Lead Makeup Artist
A full-time esthetician and professional makeup artist for over 12 years, I love being part of a bride’s dream come true. Through years of experience I’ve refined the skills to create stunning looks that appear amazing on camera and in person. With a kit full of the best base products from Armani, Chanel and iLLamasqua in wide shade ranges and designed for both mature and young skin types I’ve got the products and techniques to create a look that’s both soft, elegant and still you.
Have questions? Need advice? Once you book your date I’ll give you my personal phone number so you can text or call me anytime. On the day of your event, you can expect my team and I to arrive on time, with lighting and a professional kit, and be a relaxed calming presence so you can savor your day.
I only got to experience being a bride once. Thankfully, I get to enjoy the blissful wedding feeling every weekend for the rest of my life.

FAQs for Your Dream Wedding Look
Absolutely. We travel within Ventura county and Santa Barbara for wedding makeup services. If your location is outside of those areas contact us to discuss.
Request our Bridal Experience Guide to get a detailed explanation of our pricing structure for both bridal hair and makeup services.
Absolutely! While in-person trials are beneficial, I understand that they may not always be an option, especially for clients not residing locally.
To accommodate this, I offer a detailed email consultation where we discuss your preferences, desired look, and any specific requirements.
On your wedding day, I allocate extra time to ensure we have a thorough in-person consultation. This approach allows us to make any necessary adjustments and achieve the perfect look for your special day, even without a prior in-person trial.
To make the most of your makeup trial, it’s best to arrive with day-old, dry hair and a clean face without any makeup. Wearing a white top or dress will give you a better sense of how your makeup will look with your wedding attire.
Please bring:
– A few inspiration photos of makeup looks you admire
– A photo of how you typically apply your makeup for a night out
– Any jewelry and hair accessories you plan to wear on your big day
– Photos of your wedding dress
Absolutely! We offer makeup services for all the special moments leading up to your wedding. To learn more about how we can be a part of your journey to the aisle, check out our Special Events page for detailed information and booking options.
