History
I started Maquillage after about 10 years working in salons and dabbling in photography. In my early twenties, I began contracting with as a makeup artist for the SF Ballet. I moved to Oakland in 2010 and started freelancing out here with various opera and performing arts companies, doing a few runway shows and weddings here and there. I missed working behind the camera, and loved the social (and even therapeutic) aspect of doing beauty work for brides and local professionals in a more natural, stylistic way. This allowed me to steer my business in the direction I enjoy the most, which is really what looks the best. :)
