Born and raised in Southern California, I was privileged to have learned makeup artistry through professional training at the world famous, Sunset Gower Studios Makeup Academy in Hollywood, California.

That is where I studied everything from makeup hygiene and color theory to beauty application and special effects.

I went on to work behind the scenes on professional productions, where makeup had to hold up under lights, cameras, long shooting days, and the pressure of getting talent ready when everyone was waiting on “last looks.”

That experience trained my eye, but it also taught me that great makeup starts with understanding what you're working with.

Today, I bring that knowledge to women who want to master their own makeup routine without apprehension.

Beauty should make sense to you.

There are more makeup products, tutorials, trends, and opinions available than ever, yet plenty of people still don't know what actually works for them.

I've watched people spend money on products they don't need, struggle to recreate looks they love, and keep makeup they barely use because no one ever taught them how to make better choices.

I created DL Effect Makeup Mastery Consultations to change that by bringing the professional techniques I learned and used in Hollywood into a private, personalized experience designed to teach women how to master their own makeup.

This is where professional makeup techniques become personal.

I'll show you how to work with your features, use the products you already own, choose what belongs in your makeup routine, and apply your makeup using techniques I've learned and used professionally.

You'll practice it yourself with me right there to demonstrate, guide, and help you get it right.

Because looking good is great.

Knowing how is better.
