Hi, I’m Emily
The artist behind Emily May Artistry.
I’ve always been drawn to creating. Long before I ever picked up a makeup brush professionally, I was the kid drawing, painting, and finding any excuse to make something with my hands. Creativity has always been how I experience the world, and somewhere along the way I discovered my favorite canvas wasn’t paper, it was people.
That realization changed everything.
Over the last fourteen years, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of women for weddings, editorial shoots, branding sessions, television, special events and countless meaningful moments in between.
Throughout my career, I’ve refined an approach that has remained true from the very beginning.
I believe makeup has the ability to do so much more than simply change the way someone looks. At its best, it allows you to feel like the most confident version of yourself while still feeling unmistakably like you.
My speciality is creating timeless makeup with a modern perspective — looks that are personalized, polished, and thoughtfully designed for both you and the occasion.
Just as important as the finished look is the experience of getting there. I want your time in my chair to feel relaxed, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end.
Outside of makeup, I’m happiest exploring a new city with no real itinerary (and an iced vanilla latte in hand), getting dressed just because it’s fun, or catching a good sunset. I’m endlessly inspired by thoughtful design, beautiful spaces, personal style, wellness, and the beauty found in everyday life. Those experiences continually shape both my artistry and the experience I create for every client.
Whether we’re together for an entire wedding day or an hour before an important event, my hope is always the same: that you leave feeling like the very best version of yourself.
And if, by the time we’re finished, it feels less like you hired a makeup artist and more like you had someone in the room who genuinely cared about making you feel confident and comfortable, then I’ve done my job.
“I CAN’T RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!”
