Antonette began her professional pursuit of makeup in 2017, training and working with a salon that specialized in bridal and special occasion. After a short time, she began booking brides and wedding parties independently, entering her freelance career as a professional makeup artist. Some of her additional training includes a masterclass under celebrity artist Etienne Ortega, known for his 90’s inspired looks created on Lana Del Rey, Demi Lovato, and Kali Uchis.

 Antonette has painted countless faces, including but not limited to over 300 brides and guests of honor, as well clients whose moments in the spotlight include keynote addresses, public and television appearances, Pittsburgh’s 30 Under 30 honor, runway, musical appearances, and more.

Beyond creating for weddings and events, Antonette is a makeup educator. She teaches a variety of classes, ranging from intimate beginner workshops to large scale classes designed to empower artists and enthusiasts through advanced techniques and industry knowledge. Antonette is passionate about the Pittsburgh regional makeup artist community, and hosts networking events throughout the year to engage and empower peers.
