I'm so glad you're here! I'm Jordan.
I'm a red headed natural styled makeup artist specializing in both traditional and airbrushed makeup serving the Richmond, Washington DC, Charlottesville, Fredrick Maryland and surrounding areas. Whew that's a lot!
I'm a relationship person so if you're anything like me, you'd like to know and be friends with the people who will be with you on your biggest celebration day ever!
Working at a cosmetic store all through college taught me more than just makeup techniques, it taught me how to quickly make
one-on-one connections. It taught me how to relate to other women, and during those 4 years at the store, I began to realize just how similar we all are. We all have insecurities, fears, and a desire to feel special and beautiful.
Sometimes it's about more than the blush and lashes. Sometimes it's about having a friend there to listen and celebrate alongside you
And so I got to thinking; what if I could use my interest in makeup and my business degree to serve other women and help them feel fabulous on one of the biggest days of their lives!? It seemed like over night God gave me vision as to how I should go about the idea.
And so it began: Photoshoots, Collaborations, Styled Events, Weddings, Makeovers, New friends and reconnections with old ones.
The friendships I've made have been my favorite part! Life is just better when we do it together, don't you think? Especially with a sweet cupcake in hand!
So that brings us here, together in this space. And I'm so very thankful to have you. I hope you stay for awhile, and when you leave, you're a little more encouraged, empowered and inspired!

- My Favorite Things-

I know there are so many little quirks and interests that make us us, so I wanted to share a couple things about me to help you know me a little better.
What do we have in common?
Girl PartiesI think there is something so special when a group of girlfriends get together to support, love, and encourage one another!
|
Sugar, Sweets, & Desserts!I have a real sweet tooth, if you want to meet me at a bakery for a cupcake I'm all in!
|
FlowersAs Lady Bird Johnson once said "Where flowers bloom so does hope"
and I feel so hopeful and happy looking at a bouquet of flowers on my table. |
No Chef HereI don't hate to cook, but I definitely don't like it! I heard it put perfectly the other day,
"I don't like to be bossed around by recipes" TRUTH! But I can make a mean Buffalo Chicken Dip, if I may say so myself! |
Shopping is my favorite hobby. There is nothing like getting a new pair of shoes or a dress that you feel beautiful in! TJ Maxx and Loft have never steered me wrong! If I'm going to splurge I do straight to the
Gal Meets Glam collection! Did you say shopping? |
Let's Stay In!I'm a homebody and could stay in to watch movies (especially This Is Us and The Bachelorette), eat party food, and do face masks all day long! It has also been said that I can eat a whole pizza and get excited about airplane food, but those are just rumors... or are they?
