Hi there, I’m Donna

I’m a cat lover, skincare enthusiast, makeup artist, and proud local of Telluride, Colorado. After college, I moved to this incredible mountain town—and never looked back. I met my amazing husband during my first winter here, and after our own wedding (right here in Telluride!), I knew I wanted to become part of this inspiring community of local wedding vendors.

Becoming a bridal makeup artist has truly been a dream come true. My lifelong love of skincare and beauty led me to earn my esthetician license in Denver, where I built a foundation in skin health that continues to influence every makeup look I create. I’ve since trained one-on-one with renowned artists like Morgan Faye and Galya Gornishka, continually investing in advanced education to bring my brides the very best techniques and artistry.

My signature style ranges from natural to soft glam, always focused on enhancing your natural features—not masking them. I specialize in refined techniques like underpainting, seamless contouring, and individual lash application to create a radiant, long-lasting look that photographs beautifully and feels effortless in person.

I’m known for my precision and attention to detail—whether it’s sculpting the perfect brow, matching a foundation to your exact undertone, or ensuring your makeup stays flawless from your first photo to your last dance. I understand how meaningful every moment of your wedding day is, and my goal is to help you feel not only beautiful, but calm, confident, and cared for.

While Telluride will always be home, my love for travel runs deep. Whether your celebration is tucked in the Colorado mountains or across the country, I’m always ready (and excited!) to pack my kit and bring your bridal vision to life. I regularly travel throughout Colorado and beyond, and I’m truly honored each time I’m invited to be part of a destination celebration.

Weddings are emotional, joyful, and unforgettable—and being a steady, supportive presence for my clients on such a special day is something I cherish. I feel so lucky to do what I love, in a place I love, and I’d be honored to be a part of your story.
