I'm Natty.

 

​

​
I am a minimalistic beauty artist who lives life in full color. I am an advocate for true inclusion on set and in my personal life.

Travel Makeup Artist

let's get personal

I'm a millennial, middle child, and Arab American Gemini. With a background in both intimate shoots and large-scale productions, I bring the same heart and precision to every set. The way I move in the world is powerful, empathic, and thought-provoking. I live for nights out with friends, travel with my partner, supporting friends' businesses, my mom's Arabic food, and glossy lips. My work has been published 150+ times and trusted by dozens of returning clients. I've worked with some large brands and educated for even bigger brands. I can name-drop later if you need the resume but I truly believe it's less WHO I worked with + more about myself, my work, and my reputation.

I pride myself on professionalism, problem-solving, intense attention to detail + connecting with everyone in my chair.

"Natalie has worked on a few sets with me. She has always made clients feel comfortable and welcome, listened to their concerns, and done her best to make them love their makeup and themselves. She’s a true professional - she works quickly and efficiently, manages her time well, and does flawless work. In addition, she’s great at keeping conversation light and feeding off of the client’s vibes throughout a session."
