That same philosophy is why all of the products used are cruelty-free: to nurture the beauty that radiates from inside, out.  As a licensed esthetician, I specialize in preparing my brides for their wedding day with customized regimens. I consider the skin type and needs of each member of the bridal party, to ensure that everyone looks their best. Lashes and airbrushing are included. Whether you’re looking for a more natural, effortless look on your big day, or full-on GLAM, I will make sure that you and your bridal party feel comfortable and walk down the aisle with elegant, flawless makeup that will photograph beautifully and last all night.

I followed Cassandra when she went off on her own and have been getting my brows done by her for years. In the last couple years I’ve also gotten facials and dermaplaning done as well. She does great work and I LOVE coming to Cassandra for all ...

und Cassandra and Love Based Beauty!! The trial was extremely helpful, where Cassandra and I talked about what I wanted and practiced what would look best for me. The trial really helped calm my nerves. The day of wedding makeup was absolutely perfect! I was SO happy with how it turned out and couldn't have asked for anything better! The makeup fit my style and vision so perfectly. Cassandra is such a kind and calming presence, she was so enjoyable to chat with in the chair. She completed all of my bridesmaids makeups so beautifully. I am SO thankful for Cassandra for making me look so 'naturally glowing' on my wedding day!

s what she does. She's flexible, communicative, and understanding. At my makeup trial, she took time to listen to exactly what I wanted and on the day of the wedding she created such a perfect, natural look for me. She was sociable and sweet towards all of us hanging out in the bridal suite. She really knows what she's doing and my make up withstood a very windy ceremony followed by hours of dancing thanks to her! I highly recommend working with Cassandra!

edding day, Cassandra was so flexible and accommodating in terms of some location changes. She was also great at helping the mothers who don’t wear that much make up regularly, feel comfortable getting their makeup done. I really loved her style as I was looking for a makeup artist that could help me feel glammed up, but still feel and look like myself - Cassandra did just that! And when I told her I was feeling a little nervous, she helped me calm down with her calm and warm presence. I highly recommend Cassandra for your wedding, skincare, and makeup needs!

As long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with two things: animals and beauty! I left life in Beauty Marketing to follow my passion for artistry over four years ago, and haven't looked back since. I'm forever learning and I love passing on all of my tricks to my clients! In 2017, I added 'licensed esthetician' to my résumé so that I could help my clients in a whole new way. Now, I am the owner of a studio, where I use exclusively cruelty-free and vegan products for my customized organic facials, makeup appointments, and facial waxing services. Let's get you wedding ready!
