Beauty by Monet

After working on the retail side of cosmetics for almost ten years, I realized makeup was about so much more than appearance. I became passionate about helping people feel confident, comfortable, and like the best version of themselves. Seeing someone light up when they looked in the mirror made me realize this was exactly what I was meant to do.

One of the things I value most is building genuine connections with my clients. I know how overwhelming the beauty industry can feel, especially during important life moments like weddings and special events. My goal is always to create a relaxing, welcoming experience where you can let your guard down, feel taken care of, and truly enjoy the process. For me, makeup is not just about beauty — it’s about confidence, trust, and making people feel special.

With a lifelong connection to the bridal industry, I bring both experience and heart to every wedding day. Growing up in my family’s flower shop in Huntington, I was surrounded by weddings from an early age and spent years in catering halls across Long Island and Manhattan watching celebrations come to life. Those experiences shaped my passion for beauty, attention to detail, and understanding of what brides truly need on their special day.

My specialty is creating a calm, professional, and seamless experience so you can fully enjoy every moment. From our first conversation to the final touch-up, my goal is to help you feel confident, comfortable, and effortlessly beautiful on one of the most important days of your life.

One of my favorite parts of this career is when family, friends, or people I grew up with choose me to be part of such an important day in their lives. No matter how many weddings I do, it still means so much to me every single time. There’s something incredibly special about being trusted with those moments when there are so many options out there. 

I think a part of the child inside me still feels amazed and grateful that I turned something I loved so deeply into my career.

My style is definitely natural glam with an emphasis on playing up the eyes. On your wedding day I think you should look like yourself just the most tailored, perfect version of yourself. 

In 2011 I went to school to be a Esthetician knowing that I had a passion for Makeup but not really sure where it would take me. I've worked for Benefit Cosmetics, Ulta, Dermalogica and for various private salons in Suffolk County.

To date I've been doing makeup professionally for almost 15 years. I've done weddings from CT, to MTK, LIC, NYC and BK! I've done editorial work for large print publications such as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Manhattan Bride just to name a few. 

Every time someone hires me, it feels like a reminder that I really made it doing what I’m passionate about. It’s a feeling I never take for granted, and it’s what continues to make this job so meaningful to me. I know my Dad would be proud that I pursued my passion to create a name for myself, one that would be associated with quality workmanship and artistic expression.

Can you make me look like myself? Yes that's my specialty 

Do you have natural looking lashes? I have a bag filled with dozens of styles for us to choose! 

Do we have to do full coverage? Absolutely not!

When I'm not working..

I am a: wife, mother, daughter, and aunt. I'm usually with my son at the park, planning activities as the Class Mom, on a playdate with friends or on an adventure such as riding our ATV's. I enjoy exercise; I like to do Crossfit to stay in shape and turn all the leftover chicken nuggets I eat, into muscle!

I love to hit the beach, travel to new places and shop-of course!
