Skin City, not Sin City.
It all begins with an idea.
Skin is in this Summer of 2022. But let’s face it, skin is always in. And, as a makeup artist in Las Vegas, this town isn’t Sin City, but rather Skin City.
In a town where we average 10 THOUSAND plus weddings a month, the temperatures surpass 110 degrees on the regular and the dryness can chap your lips just thinking about it, skin is not just in, skin is a must. I have been blessed with the opportunity to do what I love, and gifted with the ability to do it well. Skin is perhaps one of my favorite “tasks” when I get to paint a face. I pride myself on my techniques, and making skin look lawless without a filter or photoshop. This…starts with the products.
As far as complexion, I have been a big proponent of Temptu and Tarte Cosmetics. Face Tape by Tarte is my top choice right now when it comes to complexion, it photographs beautifully. And, as a wedding and production makeup artist, products that work for me are a must, because in Sin City, we work smarter not harder.
Smooth and glowing skin is my absolute forte and a standard to my esthetic of work.
Some of my top choice complexion products are listed below.
Airspun, extra coverage translucent powder
Tarte, face tape foundation (if unsure about your shade, DM me or stick to their Neutral tones
Tarte, shape tape concealer
Tarte, glow wand
TooFaced, skin hangover primer with coconut water
MAC Cosmetics, strobe cream
MAC Cosmetics, glow play blush
NARS Cosmetics, powder blush
Sigma, blush palette
Iconic London, bronzer
Iconic London, cream contour palette
Some of my favorite wedding makeup tools include my Beauty Blender Sponges (I prefer the pink ones, I know they say they’re the same, but nope…they’re not!), a concealer brush whatever works for you, and a fan brush for contouring.
Tip of the Day: When in doubt, blend it out!
On-Site Spray Tanning
It all begins with an idea.
Spray tanning, sunless tanning, whatever you would like to call it has grown leaps & bounds since its infancy. Mobile spray tanning by LUME brings the tanning salon to you - without the harmful UV rays or the skin damage old school tanning can bring. Here at LUME Artistry, we use only the best products, with expert techniques - mobile spray tanning has never been so accessible.
At LUME, we strive for the best from start to finish. This means, we have streamlined our product line and exclusively use prep, tan and finishing products by Sjolie Tanning. For a detailed list of the products we use, please contact us directly. Sjloie tanning is a vegan, gluten-free sunless tanning line. Sjolie has some of the finest products I have ever worked with in the 16 plus years I have been spray tanning for, it also has the widest variety of colors to choose from. From their standard base and violet bases which also have shades ranging from Light to Dark, to their colors that are fitness competition worthy in their Dark Depth collection, this doesn’t include their express formula which enables clients to shower in as little as ONE hour. A huge benefit for that client on the go that is in need of a glow.
To book your on-site spray, send us a message.
We bring the glow to you here at LUME Artistry in Las Vegas.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
