Meet the Artist

Born and raised in Brazil, Natalia grew up learning to appreciate the blend of beauty from different ethnicities in her extraordinary birthplace.

Her interest in makeup emerged while working as an account executive in New York City’s advertising world, where colleagues and friends first recognized her passion and innate talent.

After receiving her certifications and training, Natalia spent two years working with vendors, artists, models, and clients while managing the cosmetics floor for one of New York’s most prestigious department stores. As demand grew from weddings, photoshoots, and creative collaborations, she transitioned into freelance makeup artistry.

Over the course of her career, Natalia collaborated with numerous photographers, creative directors, designers, and brands, contributing to beauty, bridal, editorial, print, and video projects. In 2003 she launched BrideMakeup.com as a central showcase for her work with brides and creative partners across multiple regions, including the US, Europe, and Latin America.

The work presented here reflects her accomplishments over many years in the field, marked by more than 300 weddings and varied creative collaborations. Natalia’s aesthetic consistently emphasized naturally beautiful looks tailored to each subject’s features and personality.

Natalia was one of the first professional makeup artists to offer wedding services in the New York metropolitan area and surrounding boroughs, elevating bridal makeup to film and fashion standards. Her work was featured in a variety of magazines, including The Knot magazine, Bridal Book, Downtown magazine, InTown, Makeup Artist magazine, Prestige international magazine, WestchesterChic, and Westchester magazine.
