Hello Gorgeous!! Welcome to my website and I hope you enjoy browsing my work💋

My love for beauty began with a paintbrush at the age of five. What started as a passion for color, creativity, and expression soon evolved into a deep appreciation for the art of transformation — and the way makeup can make someone feel seen, celebrated, and confident.

Though I pursued a career in the corporate world, I quickly realized it wasn’t where my heart belonged. I continued to work in the beauty industry on weekends, squeezing in weddings, events, and creative projects whenever I could. After what felt like years of waiting to fully follow my joy, I finally made the leap — and Makeup by Monica was born.

I’m a self-taught artist with a deep commitment to constantly refining my craft. I travel across the country to learn from top professionals in the industry and regularly attend live, in-person classes in Manhattan — where my creative side comes alive and stays inspired by the ever-evolving world of beauty and fashion.

Since 2015, I’ve been honored to work with thousands of women, specializing in bridal and special event makeup that feels elevated, timeless, and true to you. I bring a calm, professional presence to every wedding — something my brides truly value — but I also know how to keep things light, joyful, and fun. Whether you’re someone who thrives in a peaceful, quiet space or loves to chat and laugh through the morning, I naturally blend into every environment while holding space for you to feel relaxed and radiant.

When I’m not glamming brides or on set, you’ll find me spending time with my husband, our two teenage girls, our sweet Goldendoodle, and our adorable bunny.

Whether you're walking down the aisle or stepping in front of the camera, I’m here to help you feel confident, beautiful, and completely yourself.

If I’m the kind of artist you’re looking for, then we absolutely need to meet — I’d be honored to be part of your day.

xoxo, Monica
