Your wedding makeup, done by me: not an assistant.
You'll do your trial with me, your wedding day with me, never an assistant, never a stand-in.
About Wedding Makeup
Wedding makeup with me is two appointments: a trial first, then the day itself. The trial is where we figure out what actually works on your skin, in your lighting, with your dress and your hair plan. I take photos in different light, we adjust, and you leave with a look you've already seen on yourself, no surprises the morning of. Every booking is with me. I don't hand you off to an assistant for the wedding day after you've built the look with me at the trial. It's always Teresa, start to finish.
When I plan a bridal look, I'm thinking about three things at once: how it reads in photos (flash flattens everything, so I build in dimension you can actually see on camera), how it holds up in heat (ceremonies run long, especially outdoors in summer, I layer and set for that), and how it looks eight hours in when you're hugging people and crying a little. That's the difference between makeup that photographs beautifully at 3pm and still looks like you at 10pm, versus makeup that slides off by dinner.
I'm based in Beverly Hills year-round and Forte dei Marmi from June through September, which covers most of my brides already. For weddings outside those two cities, destination work, international travel, editorial shoots tied to the wedding, reach out and tell me the date and location. I take those on by inquiry. Three years practicing, trained at TEOREMA CENTRO STUDI - CINQUESSE in Tuscany, and the person you meet at the trial is the person doing your face on the wedding day.

What to expect.
Inquiry and Date Hold
You email me with your wedding date, venue, and any travel details. I confirm whether I'm available and hold the date pending deposit.
Consultation Call
We talk through your dress, venue lighting, skin history, and the look you want. I'm honest about what suits you and what won't.
Trial Booking
We schedule a trial, usually a few months before the wedding. You book with me, and I'm the one doing the trial, no assistants.
Trial Session
I do a full makeup application so you can wear it, photograph it, and live in it for a day. We adjust based on how it feels.
Refinements and Confirmation
After the trial, we lock in the final look, timing on the day, and any bridal party additions. I confirm travel and setup logistics with you.
Wedding Day Application
I arrive at your location, set up, and do your makeup myself. Same hands as the trial, start to finish.
Touch-Ups and Handover
Before I leave, I give you a small touch-up kit and quick instructions so you or a bridesmaid can refresh throughout the day.
Frequently asked questions
Wedding makeup with me is a full bridal application done in person, skin prep, base, eyes, lash, lip, designed to photograph well and hold up from ceremony through late reception. I do a trial beforehand so we lock in the exact look before your day, and I do the wedding day application myself. Never an assistant, never a junior, it's always me.
Wedding makeup pricing depends on the date, location, and whether you want a trial beforehand, so I quote it per booking rather than list a flat rate. Send me your wedding date and location and I'll send back a clear number, and just so you know, it's me doing your makeup on the day, not an assistant.
Plan on about 90 minutes to two hours for bridal makeup on the day of. I always build in a bit of buffer so we're not rushed, and it's me doing it start to finish, same face you met at the trial, never handed off to an assistant.
