I started working on film sets in Chicago at fifteen. By seventeen, I had moved to Los Angeles, spending the next several years immersed in movie sets, celebrity glam, and editorial work, while also serving as a correspondence makeup pro for live television events.
Being in those high-pressure rooms taught me a vital lesson; the best artistry in the world is meaningless if the person in the chair feels tense or uncared for. I realized that a woman’s true radiance reveals itself when she feels safe and grounded.
I founded Angeleno Beauty in 2012 with the goal of protecting that feeling. The most beautiful moments of preparing a bride for her day are the ones where everything slows down. It is in those moments, where a bride feels truly and unhurriedly cared for, that the sacred space of the process reveals itself.
That observation became an intention. That intention became a philosophy. And that philosophy is the foundation of Angeleno Beauty.

The Angeleno Beauty Team are a MUST-HAVE, especially on your big day! Stephanie is an absolutely gem and she is so easy to work with.
Her communication style is prompt, straight-forward, and organized.
On the big day the team arrived early to set up and immediately get through all 10 ladies, including myself!
WHAT OUR BRIDES SAY ABOUT US
I'm almost embarrassed to say this for fear of sounding like a bridezilla, but I had 7 makeup trials before finding Angeleno!
I really just wanted to be a bride on my day and be pampered. I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I found Stephanie.
I felt like a freaking model when she was done!

WHAT OUR BRIDES SAY ABOUT US
I chose Angeleno because as a mixed race person, I felt they had relevant experience with varied skin tones, eye shapes, hair texture and so on.
Stephanie nailed my goal look during our trial and recreated it perfectly on the day. The makeup stayed put very well!
I felt great, I was glammed up but not over the top, it was more than my "natural beauty" shining through, but that's what I wanted!
