Get to know Desiree…
Q. When you're not working, what do you love to do in your free time?
A. I love trying new restaurants, live music, and comedy shows, and love thrifting!
Q. Tell us more about your story and your career.
A. I’ve been doing makeup for 10 years, and have worked for Benefit, Nars, and Charlotte Tilbury. When I started freelancing and doing more weddings, I fell in love with it! I started hairstyling by assisting first and taking classes from my business partner back in San Francisco, and now love styling hair just as much as I love doing makeup.
Q. What brought you to Southern California?
A. My husband and I moved to LA in 2023 after being in San Francisco for a long time. We are excited to be closer to family and have warmer weather!
Q. What is a current beauty trend you fully stand behind?
A. These “y2k shimmers” in pastels- especially on the eyes!
Q. Please tell us more about your art.
A. I truly love making women feel and look like the best version of themselves. I believe hair and makeup completes a look, and will always take your dress, venue, vibe- all of that into consideration while doing makeup and/or hair. I love fashion, and love to stay up to date on beauty trends. I’m all about glowing, radiant skin, and a more natural look, but like to add some sort of spicy element (a fun lip color, a metallic eyeliner, maybe add some gems in the hair or eyes!). I’m always inspired by vintage things as well- whether it be art, film, or fashion.
Q. What you enjoy most about working with brides and bridal parties?
A. It’s an honor to be a part of such a monumental day! I love witnessing happy moments, and getting to know so many different people.
Q. What is your favorite part of a wedding day?
A. I love witnessing the reveal of the bride with her hair and makeup done with all of her bridesmaids and friends! I live for that moment where there might be tears, and lots of “oooh my gosh!!” It’s the best, and always makes my heart feel full.
