Presented by Michelle Montes,
Hi there, I’m Michelle,
Makeup Artist and Licensed Cosmetologist with over 20 years of experience across India and the U.S. I’ve worked in everything from weddings and photoshoots to film and live events.
One thing I’ve seen over and over is this:
Most women aren’t looking for more makeup.They’re looking for a way to feel like themselves, just more polished, confident, and put together.
​
My goal is to make makeup feel simple, intentional, and completely wearable for your everyday life.
If you’ve ever felt like…
-
Your makeup looks ok in person but doesn’t translate on camera
-
You’re overwhelmed by products and not sure what actually works
-
Your routine feels inconsistent or takes too long
-
You want to look polished but not overdone
-
You’re ready for a simple, refined approach to everyday makeup
This workshop is for you.
​

I was initially skeptical about doing makeup lessons virtually, but Michelle completely changed that. She caught details over Zoom that I couldn’t even see in my own mirror. What truly stood out was how personalized everything was; instead of generic advice, she tailored every technique to my features, from eye shape to blush placement, from what area needs matte products and what need shimmers which made a huge difference compared to anything I’ve learned online. We worked on multiple looks, including a quick 10-minute routine (my favorite for busy mornings) as well as more detailed eye and special occasion looks, and with her recordings and step-by-step summary sheets, I feel confident recreating everything on my own.

If you are considering Michelle's services, you need to do this for yourself!! I had little to no knowledge of makeup. I was fed up buying different products and never getting the look I wanted. I now feel confident in my makeup skills and I am so excited to keep practicing! I no longer feel lost walking into Sephora, instead I feel empowered! Her lessons were exactly what I have been seeking for so long. I cannot recommend her enough!

Wow, what a game changer! Between getting older and then Covid shutdown, I had completely stopped wearing makeup. I felt like it made me look like an old lady. Turns out, I was just doing it wrong! Funny how the techniques I learned in my 20s just weren't cutting it in my late 50s. Michelle introduced me to new products, new application techniques, and new colors and I absolutely love it. It's so nice to be able to up-level my look when I want to now. Highly recommend.
