As a professional makeup artist, my goal is simple: help every client look and feel their absolute best. Whether you’re heading to a photoshoot, walking down the aisle, attending a gala, or joining a Zoom meeting—you deserve makeup that looks flawless in every kind of lighting. That’s exactly why I use The Makeup Light, a powerful, high-CRI lighting system that transforms the way I work.

What Is High-CRI Lighting, and Why Is It So Important?

CRI stands for Color Rendering Index, and it measures how accurately a light source shows true color—especially compared to natural daylight. A high CRI (close to 100) means you’re seeing skin tones and makeup shades exactly as they are, with no odd shadows or color shifts.

The Makeup Light I use has a CRI of 95+, which is about as close to daylight as you can get. That means your foundation, blush, eyeshadow—everything—shows up just the way it should.

Here’s Why That Matters for You

Even the most beautifully applied makeup can look off under poor lighting. Unfortunately, standard indoor lighting (especially in bathrooms or hotel rooms) often casts yellow or cool tones that make makeup look uneven, washed out, or overly dramatic.

Because I work under high-CRI lighting, I can:

• Match your foundation perfectly to your natural skin tone
• See every detail clearly, from precise eyeliner to soft blending
• Avoid common mistakes, like overly heavy contour or mismatched concealer
• Ensure your makeup looks great in person, on camera, and in every setting

Not Just for Brides—For Every Face I Touch

While many people associate professional lighting with weddings, the truth is: every client benefits from this level of precision. I use The Makeup Light during makeup lessons, editorial work, special events, and even quick touch-ups. It helps me create results that look polished, radiant, and true to you—no matter where you’re headed next.

Setting the Tone for a Professional Experience

From the moment you sit in my chair, I want you to feel taken care of. The Makeup Light isn’t just a tool—it’s part of the experience. Clients often tell me how beautiful and confident they feel under its glow before we even begin the makeup.

Because when the lighting is this good, the results are undeniable.
