About Engagement & Reception Looks

For your engagement or reception, I prioritize a soft glam aesthetic that stays dewy and fresh, unlike the heavy base often seen at weddings. I use premium skin prep and thorough CTM (cleansing, toning, moisturizing) routines to ensure your base looks like glass skin under evening lights, while remaining breathable enough for you to dance and socialize comfortably.
