about me

I’m Erica, a licensed esthetician and makeup artist located in Denver, Colorado. I’ve worked in the industry since 2017 and LOVE every part of my job. As a makeup artist, I’ve worked on editorial photoshoots, runway, London Fashion Week and hundreds of weddings.

Having experience in all of these spaces has given me the knowledge and ability to work with all skin types and tones. From shoots that go on for hours to quick changes and touch ups. I’ve got you covered! My education and passion for skincare also allows me to prep your skin correctly and get your skin glowing so it’s looking it’s best for your special day.

I love all love.

reviews

“From the very beginning of our communication, Erica made me feel so comfortable. She’s exactly the type of energy that I wanted while my girls and I were getting ready. All of my bridesmaids were raving about what a good job she did and how sweet and fun she was to work with! My makeup looked so fresh and stayed all night long, even on an insanely windy day and lots of dancing.”

Stacey & Corey

“Erica is incredible, you are in such good hands when you work with her! She does a beautiful job enhancing natural beauty which was really important to me on wedding day; I still wanted to look like myself, just a little more fabulous. My wedding day had wild weather (seriously, my veil flew off), but my makeup lasted all night! I cannot recommend her enough.”

Katie & Eric

“Erica is the perfect MUA for any bride that wants a fun, stress-free, tailored glam experience! She was so nice and laid back that it felt like we were hanging out with a friend while getting our makeup done, she also brought everyone's vision for their glam to life perfectly. My bridal party had nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend!”

Catherine & Henry

“Erica is the best makeup artist I have ever worked with. She came as a referral from a friend of mines wedding and did not disappoint! She traveled from Colorado to Moab for my destination wedding. She was very easy to work with and communicated quickly. She made me look and feel so beautiful. Erica has a very calming presence. She even came to the wedding for touch ups, which was simply above and beyond what I expected. I also got a facial from her before the wedding, she really knows how to pamper and make you smile. My bridesmaids also ALL loved their makeup for the wedding. I will definitely be using Erica again whenever I need any makeup services. I will find every excuse to use her talents whenever possible. Thank you so much Erica, I appreciate you so much. Even when I started to feel a little sad about the passing of my mother you calmed me and I don’t even think you know how much that meant to me. My wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without you.”

“Erica was an incredible addition to my wedding day. She was thorough in discussing my inspiration pictures with me to nail down what I really wanted for a bridal makeup look and even worked her magic on my skin (facials & dermaplanes!) leading up to the big day. She brought such a calming presence to the day itself and was a massive help at subtly talking me through my nerves as I was getting my makeup done. I couldn't have been happier with my final bridal look - I felt so confident and, importantly, still felt like myself! Erica navigated the bridal party and MOB/MOG makeup beautifully. She listened to what each person wanted and put together looks ranging from very natural to more dramatic that all looked cohesive together. I cannot recommend Erica enough as a makeup artist!”

Hillary & Dan

“Erica made my makeup so natural and made my fears of looking too overdone like previous makeup experiences, melt away. She listened to my concerns and matched my colors so effortlessly. I do not wear much makeup and I do not style my hair very often to begin with, but Erica provided such a refreshed look for my big day. I would recommend her if you want to look amazing and stress free on your wedding day!”

“I was lucky enough to have Erica do my make up for our wedding in August 2021. I loved my look and my make up lasted all night. Not only did she make me look and feel my absolute best, but she was so supportive throughout the entire day as I was getting ready. Prior to the wedding I visited Erica for monthly facials which made my skin glow. If you are looking for an amazing MUA for your day, look no further!”

Elisia & Cody

“We absolutely LOVED you all and you truly made my day so perfect, I couldn't have felt more beautiful and that is so so special. I'm so obsessed with my looks and I will literally never use another make up artist again!!”

Maddy & Charles

“Words cannot describe how much I adore Erica! I called her about a month before my wedding in a panic due to a fall-through from my original beauty vendor. When I spoke to her, she immediately felt like family and took away all my stress. If you want an MUA who is there for YOU and make it feel like you have known her forever - LOOK NO FURTHER! She is extremely talented, hilarious, and a wonderful hype women. I am so grateful she was a part of this life long memory!”

Cecilia & Jacob

“I am a wedding vendor myself & appreciated the professionalism, talent, and kind heart Erica brought into the day. She not only made me feel beautiful but also made me feel comfortable. I had one thing that I wanted fixed and she was great at taking direction and was super understanding. The product was everything I wanted and more!

Lex & Joseph

“I cannot recommend Erica enough. She made my makeup look glamorous without being too over the top and she was very receptive to feedback I had to make sure my wedding day look was perfect. She also listened to all of my girls to make sure they also got the exact look they wanted. She’ll bring great energy to any bridal suite.“

Abby & Ben

“My makeup lasted all day and more importantly all night after all the eating, drinking and dancing! I don’t normally wear much makeup and wanted a natural but more glamorous look for my wedding day. Erica listened and gave me exactly what I wanted plus more. She is so personable and nice and makes you feel so comfortable. I highly recommend her to anyone who is getting married, it’s one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding!”

Hannah & Keegan

“Erica was such a joy to work with. Her fun energy, professionalism, and kind support throughout the trials, planning, and wedding morning set me at ease and made me feel more confident than I ever had before. Erica worked on my skin through customized facials prior to the wedding day so I had the best skin I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend her for bridal makeup to any bride.”
