ABOUT ME
I am a state registered professional makeup artist specializing in HD makeup for photography. Using specific application techniques and high quality products, I create long lasting, water resistant and camera ready looks that make you shine!
I have worked in the beauty industry for 14 years specializing in skin care and makeup artistry. My mission is to build confidence from the outside in. I have discovered that when you look your best, you feel your best and you interact with the people around you at your best! This ripple effect is why I love what I do! My philosophy is that makeup should enhance your personality and inner beauty. Makeup is an accessory. Just like your shoes, handbags and jewelry accessorize your wardrobe, your makeup accessorizes YOU! Your makeup should enhance your natural features and beauty.

"Allison was amazing all around! We did a virtual consult ahead of the big day and didn't have time for a trial - but on the day of, she kept reminding me to tell her if anything wasn't "me", and we ended up going with less eye liner and I looked exactly like I wanted - me but glam! She was flexible, fun to chat with, professional, and makde my bridal makeup experience amazing! She even talked me down from a frustrating mixup where family members who had planned on having makeup done didn't show on the day of!! But Allison was so gracious about it and hugged me and told me, "I'd have come just for you!" She really made me feel comfortable, relaxed and GORGEOUS on my wedding day!!! ALSO it was a beach wedding in July (SWEATY) and I cried for like 80% of it - an dI still looked amazing by sunset!"

"It takes hard work and expertise to get media attention for a new, small, local business. When you finally nail that news segment, you want to look your best. And when it is an OUTDOOR segment on a 95 degree day.... that takes a bit of effort. I loved working with AK MakeupArtistry! Allison was fabulous, professional and talented... and the makeup lasted ALL day through the sweat, stress, and sun! Check out the photos for "Bare Before, "Fresh After, and.... seven hours in 95 degrees and 2 kayaking trips later "After, After"!"

Makeup is crucial to good photography! Allison is professionally trained in HD makeup which is specifically for photography and it shows!! My clients have all been extremely happy with their makeup and have fallen in love with Allison :). She has launched my photography business into a new phase of professionalism by allowing me to be able to refer my clients to a professional makeup artist. All her makeup compliments the client's style and personality, which is important to my particular client base, and no one has ever felt “fake”, only beautiful :). Don’t hesitate to at least have a chat with Allison, she knows her trade!!

Looking for the perfect makeup artist? Look no further! Allison is amazing and I can attest to that! I have used her services for two special events: my senior photoshoot and my sister's wedding. She was able to match the colors to my skin tone and clothing for both occasions perfectly! Even in the summer heat, my makeup stayed put and looked amazing. I received so many compliments that day! I highly recommend Allison for all of your event needs!
