Specilizes in effortless full glam

I began my makeup journey when I was 15 and realized how therapeutic it was for me to create beautiful art. All of my babysitting money went towards buying more makeup and making YouTube tutorials. Once I started bringing my makeup to school and applying it on friends during lunch, I knew I’d be pursuing makeup as a profession.

I joined a makeup team when I was 17 years old and my clientele grew quickly. Before long, I was booking at least one wedding a week. I quickly realized how much I enjoyed seeing my brides face light up whenever I handed her the mirror.

I have now contributed to over 300 weddings, countless full face applications, and have been honored to be a part of many special events.

My true calling for makeup is to help you feel the best version of yourself. Whether this means extremely minimal but enhanced makeup or full glam. I am available to hear any concerns and achieve your desires when it comes to your makeup.

My passion drives from the desire to help women feel stunning. As much as makeup is an art, to me I do not consider myself artistic. I consider myself understanding how women want to feel in makeup. We all want to feel good, feel like ourselves, confident, and beautiful when we get our makeup done, therefore, that’s my passion.

In addition to teaching many classes and workshops of my own, I have had the pleasure of learning hands-on with both local and celebrity makeup artists.

When I’m not enjoying being part of an amazing event as your makeup artist, you can find me at Disney …. Or, maybe just dreaming about Disney.

Through her passion for creating art, she discovered the beauty industry within Youtube and immediately gravitated towards makeup. After constantly practicing on herself and her sisters for years, she made the jump into the wedding industry through friends and family from 2017-2018.

Fast forward to early 2021, Molly was working as a montessori teacher in Charlottesville Virginia. She loved everything about her job but still found her love of makeup always in the back of her mind. She decided she wanted to pursue her passion and began looking for local makeup artists who would be willing to mentor her. She came across Meg’s page and was captivated by her stunning looks and skill! Molly began assisting Meg as her right hand artist throughout 2021, learning and practicing all along the way.

In mid 2021, Molly officially joined the Captivating Complexion team as the first Senior Artist. From there, Molly completed 1:1 intensive trainings with Meg, masterclasses with award winning makeup educators, and endless private practice sections. So far, Molly has booked over 40 weddings within 3 months for the 2022 bridal wedding year.

Her passion for makeup not only derives from her artistic background, but also from the joy her clients feel! Nothing fuels her passion more than seeing her clients feel beautiful and confident after the final reveal, truly her favorite part of being a makeup artist.

Sepcilizes in Timeless Soft Glam

Tai was raised as an artist and loved enveloping herself in painting and crafts at a very young age. Her mother and older sister pursued the arts during their youth and encouraged Tai to do the same. Her interest for beauty developed as a teen after discovering how much art and beauty overlapped. Tai found that the styling of hair was similar to sculpting, nail art was another form of painting and makeup reminded her of the shading and definition that was done when working with 2D mediums. This newfound interest encouraged Tai to enroll in cosmetology school after high school.

Her time in cosmetology school allowed her to narrow down her interests. Throughout all of the topics she learned, makeup was the one that peaked her interest the most. Tai graduated cosmetology school in 2017 and began working as a part-time makeup artist in the Richmond area for weddings and local photographers while working as a beauty consultant during the week. During her time as a beauty consultant, Tai was able to gain knowledge on a variety of techniques and products that allowed her to work on a broad variety of clients.

After 3 years of only doing makeup on the weekends, Tai decided to take the leap of faith and become a full-time makeup artist. During this time, she worked alongside the Captivating Complexion team as a second artist for a few occasions throughout the 2021-2022 bridal season. She enjoyed the team's passion, work ethic and artistry so much that in 2022 she accepted the offer from Meg to become a lead key artist on the team.

Tai is very passionate about offering inclusive beauty services so that everyone has the opportunity to enhance their natural beauty with makeup - regardless of complexion, skin type, gender, or age!
