Happy New Year! It’s #gettoknowme Tuesday!⠀
.⠀
This is my first “get to know me” post - I thought it would be fun to start off the new year with one 🙂 ⠀
.⠀
I’m Adriana - lead makeup artist and hair stylist. Getting into makeup and hairstyling was actually a NY resolution that came when I was completely unhappy in my 9-5 job and looking for a career that excited me. My husband suggested I two learn something new and I’ve always had a passion for makeup artistry from being in theatre as a teenager. After my first class I was hooked and knew I found my passion.⠀
.⠀
When I’m not with my clients I’m a wife, mama of 2 very energetic little boys, dog mama to my Chihuahua, avid DIY-er, Bachelor-franchise enthusiast, and bargain-hunter. Oh, and I’m a big Disney fan - but you would probably figure that out once you meet me 😋⠀
.⠀
In order to get to where I am now I tried a “few” different career paths: Wedding Planning, Event Sales, Baking, Country Clubs, Casinos/Race Tracks, Banquet Halls, retail, Childcare… okay maybe more than a few. But every one of these opportunities lead to where I am now and I’m so grateful.⠀
.⠀
Best part of my job? Meeting new people! I love hearing a bride tell the story of how they met their fiancé and the look on their face when they tell it. These little chats help me to get a sense of your wedding vision, and ultimately help me to create a stunning look for your big day. 😊⠀
.⠀
That’s it for me for now. I’m excited to meet my 2020 brides and seeing what we create together. ⠀
XO Adriana ❤️⠀

I often get asked if it’s worth doing a hair/mak

I often get asked if it’s worth doing a hair/makeup trial. The answer is absolutely! .
There are so many benefits to doing a trial:
- Meet your artist and see if your styles mesh well together - You get to see if the style looks good on you, suits your vision, and see how it wears throughout the day
- If you’re not overly satisfied with the look your artist can make tweaks until it’s how you want it
- Ask questions and get professional suggestions from the artist
- If there are any add-ons that you want to purchase to enhance your look you have time before the wedding date to do so (ie. Specific lashes, hair extensions, hair accessories, a lipstick to keep with you, etc.)
- Reduces stress on your wedding day
.
Sometimes brides try out a desired style and realize it’s not what they wanted for their special day. Luckily, when this happens at the trial there’s tons of time to rethink your look. Unfortunately, there’s not always time to make changes on the wedding day. .
Brides put so much thought and effort into selecting the perfect wedding dress. Keep in mind that your hair and makeup are in just as many pictures as the dress! So why not dedicate the same amount of effort into making your bridal beauty perfect for you? .
