Her products are always low toxic, cruelty-free and gentle on the earth (no harsh ingredients or perfumes here).

My motto is "pretty. simple." I specialize in natural, minimal - but stunning looks. You are already BEAUTIFUL! Let's just highlight and enhance what you already have. I invest everything in making sure my brides feel comfortable and open through the entire process. Planning a destination elopement from a distance can be a challenge. I make it easy for you to get to know me and my style with virtual meetings and a streamlined booking process. We will communicate from beginning to end. From the time you book me, until the lash glue dries! It doesn't have to be overwhelming! Trust me, it's just lipstick! I just want you to have a blast and get married in my favorite place on earth.
