About Erika
Erika is a luxury bridal makeup artist based in Charleston, known for her refined, ethereal approach to beauty and her exceptional mastery of airbrush makeup. With nearly two decades of experience spanning retail artistry, major cosmetic brands, international commercial campaigns, editorial work, and film productions, she brings global-level expertise to every bride she serves.
Her career began in Spain after completing her degree in Fine Arts—an artistic foundation that continues to shape her elevated understanding of color theory, facial harmony, structure, and texture. She trained at the prestigious Elite Makeup School in Madrid and launched her career in 2006. Ever committed to excellence, she continued studying with renowned artists around the world, and in 2009 earned her Airbrush Certification with Temptu in New York. This training, combined with years of hands-on experience in production and editorial environments, has positioned her as Charleston’s foremost airbrush authority—one of the only artists in the region who performs airbrush at a true professional and editorial level.
Her portfolio includes collaborations with celebrities such as Margarita Rosa de Francisco, Angélica Blandón, Ana de la Reguera, Lisa Nichols, Bari Baumgardner, Donia Duchess, Patty Aubery, Jack Canfield, and Veronica LaBalme. Her artistry has appeared in Southern Bride, INTERVIU, WOW Magazine, Cosas, Panorama, and multiple commercial campaigns. She has worked with international brands including Nivea, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Roche, Mercedes-Benz, Yanbal, and Absolut Vodka, and served as the Official Makeup Artist for Bourjois in Spain and as a MAC Makeup Artist.
After relocating to Charleston eight years ago—America’s number-one wedding destination—Erika discovered a deep passion for Bridal Beauty. It became the perfect blend of everything she loves: flawless skin, artistry with intention, and the joy of helping women feel radiant and confident on a day filled with love. She now specializes exclusively in luxury bridal makeup, crafting looks that feel timeless yet modern, from romantic and classic to understated editorial elegance and red-carpet-inspired glamour.
Her background in film and editorial work has shaped her calm, meticulous presence and her ability to create makeup that photographs beautifully while remaining fresh, breathable, and natural in person. Brides value her precise eye for detail, her understanding of corrective and anti-aging techniques, and her commitment to creating customized looks tailored to each client’s features, personality, and personal style.
Today, Erika offers a premium bridal experience designed for the bride who values elegance, longevity, and an artist with global expertise. Her approach is both technical and deeply personal—an elevated, boutique-level service rooted in warmth, intention, and exceptional care.
For brides seeking a luxurious, long-wearing, naturally flawless look, Erika delivers more than makeup—she creates a moment of calm, a sense of confidence, and a version of you, beautifully elevated.
