I have been a makeup artist for almost 15 years, since signing myself up in a SpecialFX makeup program while living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I painted my way north to Toronto, Canada for a Masters Program in Sfx and Beauty Makeup and eventually back to my hometown of Miami, Florida.

In South Florida, I have been working professionally for the past 8 years doing makeup and hair for women, children, and men’s grooming. I work on many projects from TV shows, Commercials, E-commerce, Runway, Fashion editorials, Press Junkets, private makeup sessions for special events, teaching classes and everything in between. Often, I work for different media outlets and on a consultancy basis for brands.

As an artist and a licensed esthetician, I am tirelessly exploring techniques, products, color, texture, and the spectrum of beauty, fashion and art. I begin my approach on every one of my subjects with an eye towards luminous, healthy glowing skin. My focus is on accentuating individual features, rather than ‘correcting’ a face, allowing everyone’s own natural beauty and personality to shine. My philosophy and style is that less is almost always more.

Whether natural and minimal, glam, or creative and innovative, my clients trust my refined esthetic eye to bring their makeup and hair visions for their projects, productions, or events to life.
