coffee obsessed

My name is Ariane Pagan, I am a licensed Esthetician and Cosmetologist. I fell in love with makeup 15 years ago working at the cosmetic counters in my home town mall. I met a bride who wasn't having any luck finding a makeup artist who made her look and feel like herself. We instantly connected, and from that moment on I knew I wanted to start a bridal makeup company that catered to brides who want to feel beautiful and still look like themselves. My favorite part about being in this industry is becoming a part of each of these brides lives, not only on their wedding day but seeing each brides life grow after their special day!​

Ariane is the best!! I have had my makeup done for a few other events with other people, and Ariane is the only one I know I can trust!! I knew I needed to have her for my wedding and I am so lucky I did! I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup, but Ariane makes me feel so natural and so confident. All of my bridesmaids makeup looked so good and everyone raved about her!
