PORTOFINO
 MAKEUP ARTIST AND HAIR STYLIST 

in Portofino, Italy

Regarding makeup, as most of my clients are travelling and have spent long hours on a plane, I highly recommend drinking a lot of water and moisturizing well before your appointment.

I use a high quality skin treatment before your makeup application to remove dead skin from the surface of the skin.

Especially, due to the climate in Portofino , I recommend the full facial which is a spa service done on location. The full facial in includes a chemical and physical exfoliant, facial, neck and shoulder massage, facial mask and steaming. This service can be added to any makeup service as well as men's grooming.

Regarding hair styling, I strongly advise my clients to have clean and fully dry hair before your hairstyling service. Oily hair is hard to work with and prevents the hair from having volume.

Lastly, My complete preparation guide can be found in my Guide Book.

I use a wide range of carefully curated luxury makeup brands.

Only high quality and high performing products are used to ensure that your makeup is long duration and flawless in person and on camera.

All products are tested for performance prior to making it into my collection.

A few of my favorites are Kevin Aucoin, NARS, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Armani, Tom Ford, Chanel, Laura Mercier, La Mer and Elemis skin care

Hairstyling products include, Oribe, Ouai, and Gisou. Styling tools include, GHD, Dyson and Babyliss Pro.

Styling for hair and makeup is personal, and must be tailored to each client's specific style and facial features.

A trial is the best time for us to get to know each other and to set a timeline for your event or wedding day.

Yes. I am happy to bring an assistant to accommodate large parties and to decrease the amount of time spent on services.

Absolutely ! My professional makeup application will last the full duration of your event.

I use traditional foundation as well as airbrush depending on preference and skin texture. Not only are the eyes and skin prepared with the proper skin care and priming products, but your makeup will be set and finished with professional powders and sprays that seal the makeup in place.

All the products selected to prepare and seal the makeup are chosen for their longevity and high performance in combating tears, sweat and weather conditions.
