Denise is a licensed esthetician and a licensed New Jersey makeup artist, and she has more than fifteen years of experience in the beauty industry. Much of the work centers on brides, and the business says it has worked with hundreds of brides and their bridal parties across New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Trials take place at the studio in Toms River. A trial runs about one and a half to two hours and includes a full face application and a review of photos. The look is recorded on a face chart so it can be reproduced on the wedding day. Trials are recommended but not required before booking a date.
On the event day, the artist travels to the location the client chooses, such as a home, a hotel room or another venue. Bridal party makeup is offered for groups of any size, and group discounts are available for bridal parties, proms and other large groups. Mothers of the bride or groom and other family members can be made up as part of bridal party rates, and false eyelash application is included for the bride.
Beyond weddings, the business works on photo shoots and headshots for models of all ages and genders, on TV, video and print projects including corporate and training videos, and on special occasions such as reunions, anniversaries, proms, Sweet 16s, Quinceañeras, Bat Mitzvahs and bachelorette parties. Photo, TV and print work is quoted by half day or full day, with custom quotes on request, and any event not listed can be requested by inquiry. Inquiries received Friday through Sunday are answered within 24 hours and no later than the next business day.
The business describes itself as award-winning and says it was nominated and voted best makeup in Ocean County on the Ocean County Happening List. It also says it strives for a five-star reputation. Its work has appeared on Channel TV-20 and TLC's Four Weddings, several brides have been featured in The Knot, Contemporary Bride and New Jersey Bride, and the business contributes to online makeup, beauty and bridal magazine articles. The site states that its photos show only work done personally by the artist.
Keeps current with new products and trends in color, application and technique, and offers bridal trials so the wedding look is planned in advance.
