On WeddingWire since 2026

Last update: May 2026

Professional makeup artist since 2015 specializing in the "ethereal glow." I believe in celebrating your features, not masking them. My technical background in SFX and photoshoots ensures a camera-ready, inclusive look that leaves you feeling confident, comfortable, and elevated.

The Foundation of My Craft
Your wedding day is a balance of two worlds: the intimate, face-to-face moments with your loved ones and the high-definition lens of your photographer. Since graduating from professional courses in event, photoshoot, and special effects makeup in 2015, I have dedicated my career to mastering that balance. My background in media and SFX isn’t just about "theatrical" looks—it gave me a deep, technical understanding of color theory, skin texture, and how different lighting environments affect the way makeup translates on camera.

Your Style: The Elevated Self
My signature aesthetic focuses on the "ethereal glow." I don't believe in masking your features; I believe in celebrating them. My goal is for you to look in the mirror and see an elevated version of yourself—feeling entirely comfortable in your own skin, yet possessing that undeniable, polished confidence that radiates in person and in every photograph.

Inclusivity & Technical Expertise
With over a decade of experience, I pride myself on my ability to work across the full spectrum of skin tones and types. I understand the nuances of undertones and the specific needs of different complexions, ensuring that every client receives a custom-blended look that feels weightless and looks flawless. Whether we are aiming for a soft-focus bridal radiance or a more structured, editorial-inspired look, my kit is stocked with high-performance, long-wear products for any occasion.

Beautiful Bridal Makeup!

Lea was super kind and professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She listened to what I wanted and really struck the perfect balance; I felt so beautiful on my wedding day but still looked like me! She was a joy to work with.

Dream makeup for a dream come true day ✨

Lea is an incredibly talented and professional makeup artist. She turned me into a glowing bride on the most memorable day of my life. I am not usually one who wears lots of makeup and I have sensitive skin that has reacted in the past to cheaper makeup. Lea was able to give me a natural glow that made me feel beautiful, confident, and it made me feel like myself. She was attentive to my vision and hopes and she made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Lea was punctual, professional, and reliable. It was such a relaxing experience on a little bit of a stressful day. The final look ended up exceeding my expectations and the makeup stayed on all day long. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so!

Best of the best

Working with Lea was such a joy! She was extremely professional, friendly and responsive to my requests. She really knows her stuff!! She did my makeup for my wedding and during our trial she was very open to notes and changes, and on the wedding day everything was perfect! Makeup lasted all day with no touch ups needed! She also did the makeup for my mother in law, mother and sister and they were also extremely satisfied with the results!
Would recommend her over and over again!

Lea is the best!!!

Lea is the best for makeup!! Would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for an event. She did my wedding makeup and I could not have been happier with the way it turned out. I was glad to have done the trial and work with her to decide what tweaks I wanted done for my big day. It was the perfect soft glam where I still felt like myself. She is very professional, pays attention to detail, offers fair pricing for her services, and is so enjoyable to work with. Would absolutely recommend her to all my friends and family!
