Beauty Consultations
During your personalized beauty consultation, we'll talk about your skin type, current routine, lifestyle, and beauty goals. I'll evaluate your skin, recommend products tailored to you, and demonstrate application techniques. Every session is customized, never one-size-fits-all.
Most consultations last 45-60 minutes. I never rush appointments because I want you to feel confident, informed, and empowered before you leave.
Absolutely. Whether you're brand new to skincare and makeup or just want to refine your routine, I meet you where you are and guide you step by step.
Yes. I offer in-person beauty consultations in central Pennsylvania and surrounding areas, as well as virtual consultations if you prefer to meet online.
Skin Care Analysis
A skin care analysis is a detailed look at your skin's current condition, including hydration, texture, tone, sensitivity, and visible signs of aging. This helps me recommend products that truly support your skin.
I assess factors like oil production, pore appearance, texture, and sensitivity. Many people think they have oily or dry skin when they actually have combination or dehydrated skin, so clarity here makes a big difference. You can also use the Skin Analyzer App for a quick assessment by downloading it from iOS App or Android App.
I recommend reviewing your skin every 3-6 months, especially during seasonal changes when your skin's needs often shift.
Yes. I take a gentle, informed approach for sensitive or reactive skin and prioritize barrier-supporting products and techniques.
Makeup Consultations
We'll review your goals and comfort level, create a flattering look that enhances your natural features, and I'll teach you application techniques so you can recreate it confidently.
Both. Some clients want a quick 5-minute routine, others want full-event glam. I tailor the session to your lifestyle and preferences.
Yes. Trends change, and so does our skin. I'll help modernize your look while keeping it polished, flattering, and appropriate for you.
Yes, I work with clients locally in central Pennsylvania and I also provide guided virtual sessions.
Foundation Shade Matching
I match foundation along your jawline and evaluate undertones, not just surface color. I also consider lighting, finish, and how products may oxidize after application.
That's very common. Many people need two shades, one for summer and one for winter. I can help you plan for easy seasonal adjustments.
Yes. Texture and finish matter as much as color. I choose formulas that smooth, brighten, and enhance without looking heavy.
Yes, you can book shade matching separately, or include it as part of a full consultation.
Anti-Aging Skin Care
Prevention can begin in your late 20s or early 30s, but it's never too early or too late to support collagen, hydration, and skin resilience.
A great cleanser, targeted serum, moisturizer, and daily SPF are the foundation. From there, we tailor your routine based on your goals and skin needs.
With consistent use, the right routine can visibly soften fine lines, improve texture, and support firmness over time. Results depend on consistency and choosing products that match your skin.
Yes. I work with women locally in central Pennsylvania who want proactive, results-driven skincare guidance.
Acne Skin Care
Yes. Hormonal changes, stress, product buildup, and lifestyle factors can all contribute to breakouts at any age.
They shouldn't when used correctly. I focus on clearing blemishes while protecting your moisture barrier, which is key to healthier-looking skin.
Many clients notice improvement within 4-6 weeks with consistent use. We'll also talk about how to avoid common triggers and irritation.
Yes. I offer acne consultations for teens and adults in central Pennsylvania and surrounding areas, with a supportive approach focused on education, confidence, and realistic routines.
Bridal Makeup
Yes. A trial is highly recommended so your wedding-day look is exactly what you want and you feel calm and confident going into your big day.
Ideally 3-6 months before your wedding date, especially during peak wedding season when schedules fill quickly.
Yes. We can discuss group services, timing, and how to keep the morning smooth and stress-free for everyone.
Yes. I provide bridal services throughout central Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. Travel details depend on location and schedule.
Beauty Pampering Parties (Mary Kay Hostess Parties)
It's a fun, relaxed gathering where guests enjoy skincare demos, beauty tips, and personalized product guidance. It's designed to be uplifting, easy, and enjoyable.
Six to ten guests is ideal for a comfortable, interactive experience. Smaller gatherings work too, depending on your preference.
Hostesses can earn exclusive perks and product rewards based on guest participation. I'll explain the options so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. I host in-home beauty parties throughout central Pennsylvania and surrounding areas, and virtual options may be available depending on your needs.

It's a step-by-step skincare and makeup plan designed specifically for your skin, schedule, and goals. The focus is making your routine realistic and effective.
Usually fewer than you think. I focus on what works, not overload, and we build a routine you'll actually enjoy using consistently.
Yes. I can streamline what you're using, remove what isn't helping, and create a clear plan so your routine feels easy and consistent.
Yes. I offer both in-person sessions in central Pennsylvania and virtual beauty routine planning.
