​Once a poet,
sometimes a painter,
often a singer, always a dancer and
in my dreams... an oscar-winning actress,
I am and will always be...an artist.
- Jojo
Hi, my name is Johanna and I'm a professional make-up artist who loves helping others look and feel their absolute best. I'm also an artistic photographer with a passion for finding and creating shots that are outside of what's typically expected. In addition, I often creatie my own works of art as well!
I have over 20 years of professional makeup artistry experience,
most notably with brands such as Shu Uemura, Trish McEvoy and Bobbi Brown,
in stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Barney's, Blue Mercury, Macy's and Bloomingdales,
for events such as Mercedes-Benz's Fashion Week and Internet Week New York, and
for companies such as Danielle Stevens Jewelry and entrepreneurs such as Dawn Elder and Marla Tomazin.
In addition, I've done numerous private events including weddings, sweet sixteens, quinceneras, bat mitzvahs, family portrait photo shoots, maternity photo shoots, corporate conventions and even some halloween makeup and children's face painting!
​
I love what I do and work hard to ensure my talents provide great value for others.

TESTIMONIALS:
​
"From the very first time Johanna did my makeup I knew she was the one who I would choose for my special day. Not only is she professional, she is a true artist who transforms and brings out beauty you never realized you had. I entrusted her with every detail from eye shadows to lipstick. My makeup was flawless the entire day and my individual lashes were amazing! I received compliments the entire day from my guests and loved how my wedding photos came out. As a person, she is the most genuine and kind hearted person you will ever meet. So happy to have her be a part of one of the most special days of my life!"
