My journey began at the age of ten, watching my mom apply her makeup. Even then, I was captivated by its transformative power. I was hooked. I knew right then that I wanted to learn the art of makeup and use it to express and transform myself.

What started as an obsession quickly grew into a true passion. As a teenager, I began doing makeup for friends attending proms, special events, and local fashion shows. By the time I graduated college, it was clear—I was destined to be part of the beauty industry professionally.

In 2007, I attended a three-day Celebrity Makeup Symposium where I had the incredible opportunity to learn from icons like Reggie Wells, Sam Fine, AJ Crimson, and Danessa Myricks. That same year, I began working as a full-time makeup artist at M.A.C. Cosmetics. Both behind the counter and as a freelancer, I gained invaluable experience working with a wide range of skin tones and types. It became clear to me that flawless makeup starts with healthy skin.

Today, as a licensed esthetician, I bring nearly thirty years of hands-on experience to my work—treating skin, educating clients, and emphasizing the importance of skincare as the foundation of any great makeup look.

Wende Luxe Esthetics was created to offer a personalized skin and makeup experience for every client, tailored to meet their unique needs.

I truly believe that self-care is a powerful form of self-love—and every person deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin.
