About

Life for me is filled with a sense of adventure. One of my friends even described me as a ‘party in a box’. I like to dream big, and then go after those dreams. Life is too short to not dare to be gorgeous and live a beautiful life.

This is one of the reasons why I love working with makeup so much. The ability to transform an ordinary day into a stunning one that delights, and gives you boldness and sense of adventure. When you are fulfilling your dreams and feeling confident, it makes me happy!

Whether it’s your wedding day or your first date, I want you to feel special and beautiful. I love when I’ve done someone’s makeup, and they tell me that they got compliments on it all night long. It makes me want to do a happy dance for you (although the ability to dance is still one that eludes me, but I keep trying!).

I’m a licensed esthetician in the state of North Carolina, and I provide makeup services primarily in the Raleigh-Durham area, but will travel anywhere you want me to come. I mean, my love for makeup took me to New Zealand for a year once!

Great Makeup Artist

Michelle did my makeup for my wedding and was fantastic! She responds quickly and is very flexible. She was so friendly at my makeup trial and is very talented! We then discussed changes I wanted for my wedding day and she did my makeup exactly as I wanted! I would recommend to anyone.

Very talented, bubbly personality

Michelle did my makeup for my June wedding in Raleigh. From the moment I met her, I was excited to work with her. During my trial, she listened to my input and made changes to make sure we had the look just right. On the day of the wedding, the whole bridal party loved working with her. She put everyone at ease and we enjoyed having her bubbly personality in the bridal suite. Everyone looked like the best version of themselves and she made the whole getting ready process more enjoyable!

I first met Michelle when we were both working a styled prom shoot with a mutual photographer friend. Michelle is one of those people that draws you in instantly and you can't help but want to get to know her and be her friend. Her talent for all things beauty is unquestionable, she has such an artistic eye for colors and bringing out a woman's features. I love working with Michelle, and everyone she touches walks away feeling beautiful and confident.
