About Antonette

In 2017, Antonette began her professional pursuit of makeup, training with a salon that specialized in bridal and special occasion. After a little over a year, she began booking brides independently, entering her freelance career as a professional makeup artist.  Since, she has painted hundreds of 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. 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.

Beyond artistry, 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 also a photographer, offering portrait photography and styling, which combines headshots or full portrait photography sessions with makeup included!
