With her arsenal of skills she can emphasize the natural beauty of her clients whether you are attending an event, taking professional photographs, or just want to get dolled up for a night out. Seeing not only the physical transformations of her clients, but the mental and emotional ones as well, are the most rewarding aspects of beauty makeup.

MAKEUP LESSONS

Makeup is a great way to add a touch of glamour to your day, but it can be overwhelming if you don't know where to start. Whether you are looking for a complete overhaul of your routine or just want to refresh your current look, makeup lessons are a great way to master a go-to look.

Great makeup is built on a foundation of great skincare. Charlotte's education in esthetics allows her to seamlessly combine these two worlds to ensure the best possible application. Charlotte offers customized facial services, full body waxing, classic lash extensions, lash lifts, brow and lash tinting, and spray tans. So whether you are preparing for your wedding day, headed off on vacation, or just in need of some self-care Charlotte can find the service that is right for you.

TESTIMONIALS

I hired Charlotte Hunter for my own wedding in Ithaca, NY and her expert skill, compassionate personality, and versatility were invaluable. I wanted a natural, beautiful look and she was very thoughtful as she listened to my ideas and offered expert suggestions. I, admittedly, don't know much about makeup, and her suggestions were vital to achieve the look I wanted. On my wedding day, she arrived on property promptly with all of her supplies, and was a kind and very calming presence that entire morning. She also kindly applied makeup to my younger sister who is on the autism spectrum and is usually very uncomfortable with anyone touching her - she put her at ease and she looked absolutely stunning. Further, we contracted her to provide makeup services for not just me, but for my grandmother, my husband's grandmother, and both mothers (and spur of the moment, my sister!) - she was able to achieve beautiful looks on all of us, spanning from age 22 to 85! I am a wedding planner in the area and I always recommend Charlotte to my clients - I'm so sad she left the Ithaca area! You cannot go wrong with Charlotte on your wedding day - I highly, highly recommend her for not only her expert services, but also for her wonderful demeanor.
