Eliza Desch

Eliza Desch owns Eliza Desch Makeup & Hair and works there as a hair and makeup artist. Ten years of corporate work came first, spanning ad, PR and biz dev roles at companies including Nordstrom and AOL, before she moved into makeup full time. She later became a regional artist for Laura Mercier Cosmetics, travelling to events alongside the brand's national artist team.

Her training came from Fred Segal Beauty in Los Angeles, followed by time with seasoned hair and makeup artists around the Bay Area. Her bookings centre on weddings, special occasions, professional portraits, and commercial shoots for ad and editorial clients. She has worked with the region's leading wedding photographers, planners and venues.

She works closely with clients and collaborators through the whole planning stage, tailoring each bride's look to her personality, the setting and the overall style. She keeps up with new products and methods and learns from respected figures in the field. Reviews posted on the business's accolades page call her punctual, flexible and calm, with a warm manner.
