Ottawa Corporate Makeup Artist














What’s a Bad Headshot Costing You?
Your headshot is often the first thing potential clients, employers, or business partners see. But if your team photos are inconsistent, washed out, or just off, it sends the wrong message.
Mismatched skin tones, overly shiny faces, or heavy, unnatural makeup can leave you feeling frustrated and stuck with photos you don’t love.
Worse, fixing these mistakes in post-production is time-consuming and expensive.
Instead of settling for photos that don’t reflect the best version of yourself, why not get it right the first time?



The Right Makeup. The Right Look. The Right First Impression.
I know how important it is to get your corporate headshots right. You have one chance to make a great first impression, and the last thing you need is makeup that looks off or doesn’t hold up on camera. I make the process simple—making sure you look natural, confident, and polished without the hassle of heavy or mismatched makeup.
With over 15 years of experience in photography-ready makeup, I specialize in creating seamless, camera-friendly looks that enhance your best features while maintaining a professional, natural finish. Whether it’s for headshots, executive portraits, or branding photos, I'll make sure your final images reflect the high standards of your business.
You deserve a headshot that makes you feel confident the moment you step in front of the camera.

As an Ottawa corporate makeup artist, I offer on-site services at your office, studio, or event location to keep things seamless and stress-free.
Travel fees apply—most locations in Ottawa fall under a flat rate, with a small mileage charge for areas further out. Once you share your location, I’ll send over a clear and accurate quote.
For quick, camera-ready touch-ups, it usually takes 5 to 10 minutes per person, with an additional 5 minutes between each for station cleaning and resetting.
For full face applications, it typically takes 30 to 45 minutes per person, depending on the project brief. I also allow an extra 10 minutes between each application to clean and reset my station to maintain a smooth, professional process.
I use high-quality, professional-grade products that photograph well and hold up under studio lighting.
These products are suitable for all skin types and tones, making sure everyone looks their best.
For shoots requiring quick camera-ready touch-ups, arrive with a full face of makeup already done to your liking. This allows me to focus on refining and refreshing your look to make sure you’re photo-ready.
For shoots requiring full makeup applications, arrive with a clean, moisturized face, and share this with any team members also getting their makeup done.
Removing existing makeup can cause redness and make it harder for the makeup to sit properly, which may show in photos.
