Want to look natural and glamorous for your wedding or portrait session thanks to a makeup artist who cares about your health and beauty? You’re in the right place!

Hi, I’m Maya! I’m a Montreal born, Toronto based Eco-Beauty Professional makeup artist (MUA), and if you, like me, care about the planet and women’s health, let’s collaborate!

A nerdy, tree-hugging, early adopter of a makeup addict, I was amongst the first cohort of Canadian Pro Makeup Artists to use and promote, 100% non-toxic, hormone-safe, eco-ethical skincare and makeup products, on and off the red-carpet. My mission is for women to look great, minus the goop, at every age. No endocrine disruptors, no stinky synthetic fragrances on me, in my products or on you! Just the good stuff you can trust. 

‘Get Gorgeous’ with me so you can experience *eco beauty at it’s best!

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Expect to look your best and feel good about it! Your eco-beauty session with me starts with a customized express-facial with Kavana, my own handmade, high performance, non-toxic luxury skincare line.

Once your skin is prepped, brows touched-up (if necessary) it’s time to get  you, ‘version 2.0’ underway! The clean makeup I use for your photo finish natural makeup, is vegan, HD-3D (looks great on camera and on you!) and includes various Canadian, women-owned, clean beauty brands, like Dalish, Pure Anada, Sappho and more.

Once we’re done, I’ll create a face chart, detailing your skincare and colours, so you can get whatever you may need.

SERVICES:

I absolutely love collaborating with my clients to create a natural, HD-3D friendly portrait look that resonates with who they are and how they want to come across in photos.

A passion of mine is teaching everyone from teenagers to new moms, to more mature women, how to do their makeup and care for their skin in every season of life, using natural, organic, non-toxic products and professional techniques.

Need makeup done on-location for a new LinkedIn portrait? Want to learn how to take care of your skin or do your makeup the non-toxic way with a one-on-one lesson? Get in touch and get gorgeous! I’d love to hear from you. You can connect with me via the GET GORGEOUS button here, or on IG @kavanaskincare
