Congratulations! I'm so excited to be your makeup artist

It’s not just about the makeup…

I’m here to help you FEEL your best on your big day. Supported, confident and your best self.

I’ve been in the makeup industry for 27 years, weddings a solid 16 with over 400 now under the ol’ belt, starting in Toronto, now calling the Ottawa area home but do travel a BUNCH  (including Tuscany *swoon*)

Hiya, I’m Lyz

Makeup is the tool I use to help people feel so frickin great about themselves. I’m the queen of “no makeup makeup” and subtleties are my jam. I don’t want anything about your look to walk in the room ahead of you, I want to hear “omg YOU look stunning” when everyone sees you. I wish your heart to skip a beat when you see yourself in the mirror… because YOU look incredible and not like we’re trying to look like someone else.

I’ve worked with top models, celebrities, hundreds of brides and everyone just wants to feel the best version of themselves. I want you to feel that too.

Especially on your wedding day.

"I hired Lyz for my bridal party makeup after finding her profile online - I expected her to be great at makeup, but I didn't expect what an absolute gem of a human being I'd meet in the process. From my bridal trial on, Lyz immediately made my super-anxious self relaxed, comfortable, and confident. On the wedding day she had everyone laughing and joking, and she made us feel absolutely comfortable to be ourselves. She's a talented makeup artist, you can see that from her profile (that's why I hired her!), but what you don't know is the way she will lift your spirit while she makes you the most beautiful version of yourself...inside and out."

"Lyz was the makeup artist for my wedding and we couldn't be more pleased! Lyz is extremely thorough and communicates very well with her brides and bridal party. Besides Lyz's penchant for good quality product, especially eco-friendly products, she is mindful of sanitary practices and is the queen of a "polished au natural" look which most brides strive for. In addition to her her calm, professional disposition, I couldn't imagine my day without her, as she makes you feel like she's known you your whole life. She was such a breath of tranquility, as we fight off the wedding nerves and excitement beforehand. I would strongly recommend Lyz for special events and bridal makeup. You will not be disappointed!"

Lyz was an absolute gift to have for our special day! From beginning to end her calm, sweet, and friendly aura made an emotion-filled morning nothing but relaxing and enjoyable! As someone who loves great makeup and hair, I can honestly say that I have never felt more beautiful in my life. My spouse and I always said that although the wedding is for us, it is special because we get to share it with the most important people in our lives. She truly went above and beyond to treat not only myself, but also the most special women in my life. She made everyone feel beautiful and happy and I cannot thank her enough for that! Having her join our day was truly one of the best decisions we made in the planning of our wedding! i am forever grateful for the magic that Lyz added to our day.
