Frances
Makeup Artist & Skin Expert serving Solvang, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties
Hi, I’m Frances — a professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician based in Ventura, with over 12 years of experience creating timeless, camera-ready looks that enhance each bride’s natural beauty. ✨
Being part of a bride’s dream come true is what I live for. Through years of artistry, I’ve refined the techniques to design looks that photograph beautifully and feel flawless in person — from soft and elegant to fresh and glowing, always true to you. With a luxury kit featuring my favorite products from Armani, Chanel, and Illamasqua, I’m fully equipped to create magic for every skin tone and type, both youthful and mature. 💄
💖 Bridal Trials: Conducted at my home studio in Ventura, where we’ll design your perfect bridal look in a relaxed, welcoming space.
💍 Service Areas: Proudly serving Ventura County, Los Angeles County, Santa Barbara County, Santa Maria, and San Luis Obispo County — bringing calm, confidence, and Fairytale glam wherever your love story takes you.
Once you’ve booked your date, I’ll share my personal number so you can text or call anytime for beauty advice, skincare guidance, or pre-wedding prep tips. On the big day, my team and I arrive on time, fully equipped with lighting and professional tools — and most importantly, a calm, positive energy to make your morning stress-free and unforgettable.
I only got to experience being a bride once — but now, I get to relive that magical feeling every weekend through my brides. Outside of my artistry, I’m a proud wife and mom of two boys, finding daily inspiration in family, love, and the beauty of each new beginning. 🌸✨
Fairytale hair and makeup did a fantastic job with my minimalist, elegant look for my outdoor micro-wedding, as well as the differing requests of my family members!
Tara and Frances arrived on time, finished on time, were so personable and highly responsive to my requests to not look overly made-up for a national park ceremony. 5 stars!
