Yes, I do. Airbrush foundation is long wearing, creates a natural flawless look that will last all day and it photographs beautifully. I carry many shades and will custom blend a foundation that matches your skin shade and tone. Airbrush is a medium coverage foundation it is versatile and can be applied by had if that is your preferred method. I also carry a full coverage foundation for those that need or want that coverage. We can just use that or we can airbrush on top of it.

Everyday. My work in the media and corporate environments involves people from all over the world of all ethnicities, colors and ages.
For Weddings, sometimes doing makeup for the eldest members of someone’s family is as important to me as doing a Brides makeup. I know these photos will be in their family for years to come, and I am honored to make them look their best.

Your makeup will only look as good as your skin. I recommend that you get on a professional skin care line a few months before the wedding. I see a lot of dry skin. Foundation doesn’t sit well on top of dry flaky skin.
-
I recommend that you book a hair stylist that specializes in wedding hair. If. You don’t have one I can recommend one to you.
-
Yes. Brows define your face and they can really change your overall look. I recommend that your wax your browns 4-8 days before the wedding so that you skin has time to heal.

Yes, we do. Strip eyelashes are included with a makeup application.

QUESTIONS
-
I have 15 years experience in Bridal makeup and that much experience helps me anticipate the ways we can sidestep some of the issues that pop up during any event. It is important to me that the bride is able to trust that her makeup will be perfect, and that she will enjoy the day without having to run the show.
-
All the time! I partner with a team of wedding and production makeup artists for large wedding parties, based on availability. My minimum for wedding days is 4 people.
-
Your makeup will last all day and night. The condition of your skin will affect how the makeup sits on your skin and how long it lasts. So we start with a luxury skin prep. I use long lasting professional grade products and I will put a sealer on top.
Mos importantly, your makeup will look fresh and natural, the foundation barely visible.
The makeup is designed to be very low maintenance. Relax and enjoy the day!

I am happy to stay for touchups. Please contact me for rates.
THE WEDDING DAY
Happy Brides
I cannot thank Colour by Courtney enough for being apart of my special day Courtney does an incredible job. This is the 3rd time I have used her services and each time she has exceeded my expectations. With the current pandemic, she strives to maintain proper sanitation to ensure the safety of her clients. She is always professional, able to work with large parties in a timely manner, and really take into account of each bridesmaids preferences while highlighting their natural beauty. I love the skin preparation technique she has us use before applying makeup. I have very sensitive skin and she uses amazing products that last all day. I was blown away by how stunning my bridesmaids and mothers looked. If you are looking for a makeup artist, I highly recommend colour by Courtney! You will not be disappointed!!

Courtney is amazing!! She did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup for my wedding. She made sure I was happy throughout the whole process and was a perfectionist in making sure my hair and makeup looked great. I also did a facial with her before the wedding, which was fantastic. I highly recommend Courtney.

Courtney is absolutely amazing! She did the makeup for my wedding yesterday, as well as 6 other ladies! She made everyone look and feel fabulous! She did dermaplaning and eyebrows before my wedding, and I highly recommend treating yourself to the relaxing experience! I will be getting facials by Courtney in the future, and the long drive from my home is totally worth the amazing treatment! Thank you Courtney!!
