✨ Hi, I’m Tai! ✨

I’m a self-taught makeup artist with a whimsical spirit and a passion for creating magic through makeup. 🪄

Whether it’s a bride’s special day or a moment of self-expression, my goal is to make every client feel like an elevated, ethereal version of themselves - just as they’d imagine themselves in a fairytale. 🧚

When I’m not playing in makeup, I’m diving into a good book, immersing myself in all things Disney, or embracing my nerdy side with video games.

I’m also in the middle of planning my own fairytale moment with my fiancé, Justin! We’re having a micro-wedding this November, and I couldn’t be more excited!! 💍

My favorite part of this journey has been connecting with people from all over the world and hearing their unique stories. 🌎

I can’t wait to be a part of your happily ever after! 💫

Was Zoe’s wedding almost a year ago? Yesss.

Does that mean I love this look any less? No! I’m still so obsessed 🤩

My kit is forever changing!

I sometimes switch out products in my kit depending on the time of year, techniques that I’m currently exploring, or if I just want a new and shiny toy 🤭

Let me know if you have any new products that you’ve been enjoying!

The ultimate compliment is having another pro makeup artist ask you to do their makeup 🥹

Reminiscing on this look created on the stunning @toriflickmakeup for her branding photos with @brand_gloss!

One of my first brides for the spring season 🌸

This winter has been ROUGH and it looks like Mother Nature has decided to give us a break and allow us to enjoy the warm weather for more than three days at a time 🙃

It’s making me so excited for the rest of my spring couples! I can’t wait to enjoy the sunshine and glam up the rest of my spring brides ☀️

Let me be the FIRST to admit that I am not the most consistent poster on social media 😅

So when a client asks “Do I get to be on the instagram?” just know the answer is always yes!! But my “photography” skills may not always be on the same page as me lol

Reasons you may not see yourself on here: 👇🏽

✦ The lighting was giving…absolutely nothing

✦ The background had wayyyyy too much going on

✦ I took the photo before the look was even finished (we don’t talk about those)

✦ I literally just forgot 💀

But when the stars align and everything comes together? I’m posting my girls!

This photo is from one of India’s preview appointments before her wedding day 🤭

We ended up making a few changes to this look for her final look but I’m still a big fan of how this look turned out!
