ABOUT US
Hi, we're Sophia and Chelsea!
We’re a team of two makeup artists (and best friends) who truly love what we do—and even more, we love getting to know the people we work with. For us, makeup is about more than just the final look; it’s about creating an experience where you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself.
We focus on enhancing your natural beauty with personalized, thoughtfully tailored makeup that reflects your unique style. Whether you’re getting ready for a wedding, special event, or photoshoot, we’re here to make the process feel easy, enjoyable, and just a little more beautiful.
We can’t wait to meet you and be part of your special moment.

Meet Chelsea Ireland
Makeup Artist / Owner
Chelsea began her makeup career in retail, where she worked and trained with both high-end beauty brands and non-toxic mineral makeup lines. During that time, she discovered that her true passion was beyond sales and in on-location freelancing. She went on to build her own brand,, providing makeup services for weddings and photoshoots through referrals, while also contracting with bridal salons in Richmond.
Chelsea also studied hair and trained as an apprentice for a period of time before ultimately realizing that makeup artistry was her true calling. She has been part of the beauty industry for over 15 years.
