About

Barbara began her makeup career in the flamboyant '80s, having fun with crazy colors and styles. Over time, she realized her heart was in making her clients look more naturally beautiful. She went on to work with Bobbi Brown for 20 years where she became known for a more subtle, glowing look. After years of working on shoots, fashion shows, television and special events, she realized that wedding and special event makeup was truly what she enjoyed most. Her focus is helping her clients' inner beauty to be reflected to the rest of the world.

Amazing professionalism!

Barbara did my makeup for a swanky event in NYC, many professional athletes would be there, etc. I KNEW I had to look my best. Barbara was recommended to me and .... WOW! I'm so glad I gave her a call. I had no idea I could look that good! Absolutely amazing work, and she made me feel so at ease. Thanks so much, Barbara!!

Barbara is truly the best makeup artist I have worked with to date. She has an innate ability to bring out the beauty in others. She listened to me so carefully and delivered the exact look that I had dreamed of for my wedding. Barbara goes above and beyond the call of duty. When we didn't bring the right lipsticks for ourselves she personally went out searching with my mom for the appropriate lip sticks (the day of the wedding!) Barbara's commitment to the job was apparent throughout the night. She was constantly at my side when I needed her (even if I didn't know I needed her - she knew) and she was able to do regular quick touch ups without disrupting any of the events, photographs, or time-constraints that were placed on us by others. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone who wants the absolute top quality service and will 100% be using her again for any event I can snag her for!

Barbara is an expert in her field and an absolute pleasure to collaborate and work with.
I was introduced via a friend who has worked with Barbara for years - one phone call, and I knew I did not have to look any further for my wedding make-up. I felt comfortable and trusting right from the start and through to the end. Barbara is super cool, and knows her stuff that you just go with it!
We had two trials (although only truly needed one) to hone in on look and coloring, and these were easy to schedule, fun, and perfect each time.
Day of, Barbara was incredibly supportive, thorough, and hands on - we had a fun time getting ready (super chill yet on schedule and spent a ton of time with me and my bridemaids). She also stayed with me from hotel to venue for touch ups. My make-up was perfect and looked fresh from 1pm until the party ended in the early morning.
I looked like--and more importantly--felt like a million bucks and glowing. True glamour and beauty was enhanced and brought out by Barb and I will forever be appreciative. I hands down recommend Barbara for your special day and any event really, I know we will work together again in the future.
