Welcome
​

I'm glad you're here! My name is Anne-Lise, I'm a perfectionist, detailed, and passionate makeup artist. 

​

For the past twenty years, I've dedicated most of my energy to the beauty industry. I've been perfecting my craft, consistently learning and staying up to date with textures, tones and techniques. I have dissected every element of what creates a flawless, mesmerizing makeup application to ensure a stunning outcome in real life and captured trough the lens of a photographer. 

​

Needless to say, I'm ready to hear the joyful reason why you're here. No matter the occasion, I'm thrilled to meet you on the journey you're on.  

Makeup will come off at the end of the night, but the memories of that special time will last forever.

"Anne Lise and I have worked together twice over the last few months and it is apparent that she has an extraordinary talent for makeup artistry. Not only will she ensure a flawless look on camera, but also in person. Her attention to detail is unmatched (seriously, the winged liner she gave me was sharper than most knives in my kitchen) and throughout the makeup application, Anne Lise explains her products and processes as you go along so that you are just as involved in the creative process as she is. After my initial meeting with Anne Lise, I recommended her to one of my friends and the results are unanimous: Anne-Lise is 10/10!"

    -Have an idea of what you want to look like, to illustrate your vision, feel free to bring photos of makeup looks you like. We will dissect the looks together to understand exactly what you have in mind. If you have little to no idea, I will help you build your ideal makeup look from scratch. I will of course provide you with my expertise, keep in mind that your features are unique and that the makeup you decide on will be customized to you. -Get your hair done in a similar way you'll have it on your wedding day. -Wear an item of clothing that resemble your wedding dress, for example, if you decided to wear a lace gown on your wedding day, wear a lace top the day of your appointment. It will help you project yourself as the bride you're about to be. -Bring the jewelry you'll wear on your wedding day (or similar pieces). Again, this will help you see the whole look come together. Inform me if you're wearing a head piece or a veil. (You also may bring it to your appointment). -Make sure to take excellent care of your skin. Exfoliate, moisturize to ensure a smooth texture to the skin. The makeup will only look as good as the skin underneath. If you wish to receive recommendations for the best estheticians, I'm happy to provide that to you. I also provide products recommendation and skincare shopping. -Your complexion will be matched to the color of your body. If you decide to spray tan for your wedding day, it would be a good idea to come to your appointment with your tan on. I'm happy to recommend the best place to get it done.
