I am Gabrielle, a 31 year old makeup artist based out of Virginia Beach, VA. I spend most of my time with my three rambunctious children; Bexley (5), Rustyn (3), and Wallace (born in November of 2021) and wonderful husband, Tyler. In the springs I am the varsity head coach of the Kempsville Girl's Soccer Team. I was a serious soccer player a life time ago, but I enjoy the pleasant reminders of my first love every spring season. 

Makeup entered my life in college where I poorly applied silver glitter to my eyelids regularly with smudged black eyeliner and thought I was STUNNING. Fastforward a few years and I entered into the wedding makeup industry. A free-lance makeup artist friend of mine needed an assistant for a large bridal party and since she had seen my stellar eye makeup performance from college, I was obviously her first choice. From there, my newfound passion for the beauty industry emerged. After countless hours of researching and youtube videos, I started working weddings by myself in 2018 and was balancing motherhood and makeup artistry. 2019 I added my second baby girl into the mix which really shook things up and adjusting to being a mom of two was plenty on my plate. 2020 was an extremely difficult time for makeup artists (and everyone else) with the pandemic so I took a short break and found out I had another baby on the way in early 2021. So I proceeded to book clients with a baby belly and had weddings booked all the way up until the last few weeks of my pregnancy! 
My beauty knowledge has blossomed organically with a passion and dedication to constantly learning to get better at my craft over the last 10 years and the love I have for makeup artistry is genuine. I enjoy not only the art of makeup application but personally getting to know all of my clients. I have made some long lasting friendships from this profession and look forward to continuing to do so!
