A creative soul from Northern Virginia with Khmer roots, driven by connection, fueled by empathy, and happiest when cooking for others.
I’m Jessica—a proud JMU alum and an even prouder auntie of seven. My journey with makeup began as a creative outlet, a way to express myself through art. Like many, I’ve had my playful moments with blue eyeshadow, bold red lipstick, and dramatic winged liner during my school years. But over time, makeup has grown into something much deeper.
Today, it’s not just about creativity—it’s about empowering my clients, bringing them confidence and joy for their special moments. Seeing their smiles, their excitement, and their happiness is what I live for.
Quick facts about me
Cat mom of two gray boys, Enzo & Remy
Born and raised in Northern Virginia
Daughter of Khmer Rouge survivors
Takes an international trip every year.
My favorite concert was Adele in Las Vegas.
One of my favorite makeup brands that I wish more people knew about is Natasha Denona.
“On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.”
The quote above translates to, “One only sees well with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eyes.”
Thank you for trusting me to create beauty that’s felt; not just seen.
Weddings
Pop the confetti!
It’s time to celebrate you!
Prior to your wedding day, you can expect an open door of communication between us. No question is too little or too large. For your bridal preview, also known as your trial run, we’ll collaborate to curate a wedding look that inspires confidence, shines in photos, and still feels authentic to you. If you are uncertain where to begin or how to articulate your desired aesthetic, we will have an in-depth consultation to bring your vision to fruition. Specializing in soft glam and natural-looking makeup, I aim to enhance your natural beauty, not conceal it.
I will always work hard to earn your trust. That’s why when you book a bridal preview with me, there’s no obligation to also book your wedding day services with me. It brings me so much joy to know my clients choose to work with me because of the care I provide and the talent I bring to their special day.

Makeup Lessons
Makeup can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be when you have an expert who can guide you.
With my private lessons, I teach you how to best use the products you already have and a makeup routine that is suitable for your daily life. My goal is not to sell you a whole new makeup routine. It’s not to push you to spend hundreds of dollars on new makeup. My goal is to meet you where you are and elevate your makeup routine where you want it to be.
This looks different for every person. Sometimes, it’s a 10-minute routine that can be done using a couple of multi-purpose products for someone with a busy lifestyle with kids, or it can be for the person who is tired of their everyday makeup routine and wants to learn how to do a classy nighttime look, or it can be for pre-teens and teenagers learning how to wear makeup that’s appropriate for school. Whatever stage of life you’re in, I’m happy to guide you through a lesson tailored for you. So turn off the YouTube tutorials and TikToks and connect with me to learn a makeup lesson that will actually stick!

FAQs
-
For sanitation, I disinfect all my used products. I put all used makeup products and brushes into a plastic bag to prevent cross-contamination. With the used makeup products and brushes, I spray 70% isopropyl alcohol on them and allow them to dry. I also deep shampoo all my brushes before every use. I do not double dip any of my products and use disposables or my stainless steel palette and scalpel. Lastly, I always sanitize my hands before applying any product to my client's face.
I take hygiene and sanitation very seriously and want to ensure both my clients and I feel safe. If you require me to wear a mask, please let me know ahead of time, and I'm happy to do so!

I do not offer airbrush services, as my approach to makeup focuses on enhancing the natural beauty of my clients. Traditional makeup application provides a skin-like, radiant finish, whereas airbrush makeup tends to offer a heavier, full-coverage look. My style is all about highlighting your natural features, not masking them. I’ve found that traditional makeup, when applied properly, lasts just as long as airbrush makeup and allows for more precise application, especially for targeting specific areas on the skin.
-
Unfortunately, I do not offer hair services, but I have a few hairstylists I love to partner with. Also, hiring a separate hair and makeup artist can expedite your getting-ready time. When you inquire, feel free to ask for recommendations!

A full makeup application typically lasts between 6 to 9 hours, though this can vary based on factors such as face touching, sweat, humidity, tears, and skin oiliness. While I always strive to ensure your makeup stays fresh for as long as possible, I can't guarantee an exact duration. Retouching and on-site touch-up services are available if needed. Additionally, I provide my clients with helpful tips on how to maintain their look and perform quick touch-ups on their own throughout the day.
-
Bridal previews include an initial consultation, skin preparation, one full makeup application, and on-site travel to your location. During the consultation, we’ll discuss the look you’d like to achieve. Since this process takes a lot of collaboration, the appointment may take up to two hours. Throughout the trial, and after, I encourage you to share any adjustments or feedback. I carefully record all your input to ensure we perfect your look for your wedding day. For a more detailed overview of the trial process, please visit my blog.
