About

Appointments take place at Wendy's home, and she and her team can also work on location for bridal events. The business describes itself as the Chicagoland area expert for radiant skin and natural makeup.

Skin care ranges from a 45-minute express facial to a 90-minute custom facial for men and women. Treatments include Repechage and Biolight facials, a Red Out facial for rosacea and ultra-sensitive skin, dermaplaning, medical-grade chemical peels, anti-aging treatments, and a dedicated acne program built on the Face Reality protocol. Every facial includes a consultation, a prescribed home care plan and product samples, and a first visit starts with a consultation to learn about the client's skin and set a plan.

Makeup work covers bridal and bridesmaid looks, commercial and camera-ready makeup for headshots, TV, film, print and theater, and in-studio day-of event and photoshoot sessions. Lessons are available, including a basic bag clean-out, a private session for women 60 and older, and an advanced glam lesson, and lessons can be done virtually on request. Past work listed by the business includes The Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC's Chicago Fire, and the Chicago NFL Draft, and its clients have included news anchors and entertainment personalities.

Bridal services are built around a bridal skincare preparations bootcamp that begins well before the wedding, along with makeup and hair trials and packages for the bride, bridesmaids and wedding party. Hair is handled by a contracted team that works on location, so the bride and party can book as one. Events more than two hours from Chicago are treated as destination weddings and receive a specialized quote on request. The business describes its bridal work as affordable, luxurious and personalized.

Customized skincare plans built on honest, educational advice, with clients learning what their skin needs and how to care for it at home.
