Minneapolis Makeup Artist for Life’s Most Meaningful Moments
Weddings, events, and personalized makeup lessons created with genuine care and thoughtful artistry.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE
someone ELSE TO FEEL beautiful
It’s normal to feel a little nervous trusting someone else with your makeup, especially for a moment you can’t redo. You’re not looking to become someone else. You’re looking for someone who sees what’s already there and knows how to bring it forward, so you still look like you, just the most confident version.
There are hundreds of makeup artists, but here you get artistry that brings out your natural beauty and care that makes the whole experience feel like it's just for you.
Before becoming a professional makeup artist, I spent years in nonprofit and corporate work, from supporting families, clinicians, and healthcare leaders through some of their most stressful days.
What I learned along the way is that people don’t just want to be helped, they want to be seen.
That belief is at the center of everything I do. From the first touch point to the very last swipe of the brush, my goal is simple: to see you as the beautiful, unique person you already are, and to create a warm, welcoming space for your makeup experience.

"She went above and beyond, making me feel like a princess.”
“Alexa is one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met! She made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and even more comfortable getting my makeup done, as it's not something I do often! She was very communicative and asked about my intentions and goals for my makeup look, which I found very appreciative. She went above and beyond, making me feel like a princess. I found her business card at a local coffee shop, and I'm sooooooooo glad I did. I would 100% recommend her for any makeup needs. I cannot write enough great things about my experience. I cannot wait for when I need my makeup done again so I can see her!”

“My makeup has never looked better”
“Alexa did my makeup for a tv appearance and did a fabulous job! She walked me through every step of the process and asked questions so that I was comfortable throughout. I was nervous about having false eyelashes put on but she reassured me that they would look very natural and enhance my eyes and they looked so good!! My makeup has never looked better and I have never felt so confident. I highly recommend Alexa for any makeup occasion, not only does she do a perfect job, she is very professional, knowledgeable and nice.”

“I felt so beautiful and confident.”
“Alexa did mine and my mom’s makeup for my destination wedding and also my reception. I can’t say enough about her. She is simply amazing. She made us look natural, which is what I loved. She was very organized from start to finish and a great communicator throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to get their makeup done. Thank you Alexa!”

Meet your artist, Alexa.
Minneapolis makeup artist, toddler mom, and the person who's going to make sure your makeup looks flawless on camera, and that you leave my chair feeling seen and heard.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved beauty and skincare, since I was a kid. Skincare and makeup have always felt like an integral part of who I am. I love reading about new products, experimenting with textures and colors, and finding what actually works for each person I work with.
I love the artistry of makeup just as much as I love taking care of the person wearing it, appreciating each unique face and honoring those features rather than trying to change them.
I truly believe you are already beautiful, and that you don’t need makeup. It’s simply a form of expression, a way of asking, “Who do I want to be today?”
My role isn’t to change who you are. It’s to help you feel like the person you’ve been all along.
