Hi Beautiful! I'm Erika-

Former professional dancer turned makeup artist serving the chicagoland area and beyond.

I specialize in flawless, photo-ready glam for evenings, events and ever-after.

After years in professional entertainment as an NBA dancer and commercial performer, I learned that the most powerful part of the show is not the stage-
 

It's getting ready.

I create more than makeup, I create the experience in the chair.

I didn’t become a makeup artist because I like makeup. I fell in love with the experience in the chair, the energy in the room, the confidence from the transformation- peak girlhood.

 

My career was built in professional entertainment, dancing for the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks, working on sets, and coaching women stepping into high performance, high visibility moments. I’ve experienced the stages, the lights, and the pressure, but what stayed with me most was never the performance.

It was the getting ready.

The buzz of a room full of women, music playing, laughter cutting through the chaos, lip gloss and lash glue quickly being passed around, everyone celebrating the most beautiful versions of themselves backstage.

After retiring from my dance career, I realized that was the feeling I wanted to recreate.

 

Now, as a makeup artist, my goal is to bring that same energy into every client experience in my chair. Whether it is a wedding morning, a special event, or a once in a lifetime moment in front of the camera, I create an experience that feels exclusive, elevated and electric.

Because makeup is not just about how you look, it is about how you feel walking into your moment.

And every woman deserves to feel that kind of confidence.
