Introduction
The Wedding Industry
Being a part of the wedding industry is not for the weak- it is built for those who have heart, soul, patience and passion for what they do as a bridal vendor. Nothing makes me happier than making a bride feel and look the most beautiful they have ever felt without taking away from their natural beauty; we are here to enhance, not take away! I love everything about a bride's big day- the rush, the excitement, the bond, meeting new people and making the bride feel at total peace. I always leave a bridal party feeling genuinely happy for my bride and feeling like I connected with everyone in her presence.
Specialization
My specialties are eyes and making the skin look flawless without pounding on the coverage. Nothing makes my heart happier than seeing a glam eye, a nice amount of lash and a soft, dewy complexion! I also happen to be a "wing" connoisseur if you're into that trend- I LOVE me a wing that is cut-through-anything sharp! If you choose to go this route, your wing will be nothing less than *perfect*.
FAQs
Q: What is the difference between Airbrush and Traditional Makeup? A: The main difference is the way the product is applied. Airbrush makeup is foundation that is filtered through an air gun, which disperses in the form of a fine mist that sits on top of the skin. This makeup application is great for those who do not like a heavy makeup application; the application is lightweight, transfer proof and water-resistant. The best skin types for airbrush are normal to combination. Traditional makeup is foundation that is applied with a brush or sponge which is worked into the skin to create a skin-like finish. Both options are amazing and will last you all day and night! Q: Do you offer individual lashes? A: I sure do! As a matter of fact, I use individuals 99% of the time. They are lighter than a standard strip lash and they allow me to create any look you want! Are you looking for something natural and wispy? Perfect! Are you looking to feel like you can fly away when you blink? You got it! Are you looking for something in between natural and dramatic? Let's do it! Either way, you will not feel like you are wearing a thing on those precious eyes of yours! Q: Do you offer packages? A: Not at this time but am working on something for the future! ;) Q: Do you offer to stay/travel for touchups at the venue? A: Absolutely! I charge an hourly rate for this service.
Personal Hobbies
When I am not doing makeup, I fill my time by being around my family and friends. Nothing brings me more joy than being social- whether I am out at a restaurant eating great food, grabbing a quick drink at a bar or gathered at the family table playing games and enjoying each others company, I am the happiest when I am surrounded by those I love.
Additional Info
All of my brides receive a touchup kit as well as a lip gloss or lipstick of their choice for them to keep. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will come between you and your gorgeous face- I am here to make sure of that!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Alex! She did my bridal makeup, 3 bridesmaids, and mother of the bride for my wedding. We started early that morning, and Alex was on time and ready to go. She did our makeup flawlessly, and our makeup lasted all day and night. Along with her amazing makeup skills, Alex is incredibly friendly and sweet! We had so much fun working with her, and she is someone you want with you when getting ready for your wedding. I can’t thank her enough!
Where do I even begin?? Alexandra is incredible! She is truly a master at her craft. Never did I expect to look as flawless, incredible and beautiful for my wedding makeup trial. I thought I was going to have to try out a hand-ful of artists but with Alexandra I knew she was the one from the first moment when I saw how sanitary, warm and professional she was. My makeup looked incredible and she understood exactly what I was looking for! I cannot wait for my big day and having Alexandra do my makeup and my girls too!!
Alex was the first person I called as soon as I had my date scheduled! She is the only one I trust with my face and makes me feel natural and beautiful! Alex is easy to work with, has a great personality, is super professional and will make all of your ladies feel comfortable and glamorous! She will forever be my makeup go-to!
Makeup by Alexandra was phenomenal. My best friends decided to throw a surprise sushi party the night before that lasted very late. With that and the excitement, I only slept 2 hrs but thanks to makeup and Alex’s skills you can hardly tell.
