Hi everyone!
Thank you for coming to my website. My name is Gianna and I am a Professional Makeup Artist based in the Chicago Suburbs, specializing in bridal, special occasion, and photography makeup. I have over nine years of experience in the beauty industry with an average of 50 weddings completed per year. I spent four of those years working in a salon doing makeup for various events. I now am a traveling, onsite artist for all occasions. I also have a home studio in Elk Grove Village that clients can come to as well!
My specialized makeup style is best described as soft glam. Soft glam is a polished, timeless makeup style that enhances your natural beauty while still looking effortlessly glam. Featuring seamless skin, softly defined eyes, blended neutral tones, subtle contouring, and a radiant glow, soft glam creates a refined look without appearing overly dramatic or heavy. It's the perfect balance between natural and glamorous, making it a popular choice amongst my clients.
My goal is to make every client feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment they sit in my chair. I believe makeup should enhance your natural beauty, not mask it, which is why I customize every application to complement your unique features, skin type, skin tone, and bone structure. More than anything, I want your inner beauty and confidence to shine through. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, special event, or photoshoot, my goal is to create a look that feels like the very best version of you. Seeing my clients smile, light up, and truly feel beautiful when they see their finished look is my favorite part of every appointment. That reaction will never get old.
​When I am not doing makeup, I love spending time with my dog, Coco. She is my little bestie and everyone's favorite assistant when they come for an in-studio appointment with me. I am also a huge Disney fan! My first time was to Disneyland California was when I was 18 years old and I have been obsessed with the parks ever since. I now travel mostly to Disney World but I hope to travel to all the parks all over the world! After receiving my bachelors degree from Loyola University Chicago and working in the Public Relations & Marketing world for some time, I realized to be truly happy, I would need to focus on my makeup business full-time. And let me just say, doing just that has brought me immense joy and gratitude.
