She takes the time to understand your ideas.She is the person to hire, beyond her immense talent as an artist, because she is also kind, calm, and dependable.

EVENT

"OMG! Where do I even start with Selina? She is absolutely amazing, on all levels. She is an incredibly* skilled artist and even better person. She has done my makeup on a few occasions and every time she absolutely blows me away. I’m pretty picky with my makeup and have a hard skin tone to match, but she’s spot on no matter if I’m tan or haven’t seen the sun for bit lol. The level of creativity and ability to create looks from bridal, glam, edgy, to artsy, the girl can do it all. She made me feel and look my absolute best for every occasion! 100/10 would recommend! You won’t regret booking with Selina ! If you’re looking for a sign this is it ! 🥰"

BABY SHOWER

"I booked Selina for my baby shower and she made me look so amazing!!! One of the most special days of my life — and the best part is she freestyled the entire look. She’s truly an artist and treats your face as her canvas. Her versatility, creative eye and imagination are beyond brilliant. I was also a model for a photo shoot with Selina and she did an avant-garde, high fashion / edgy look on me (also freestyled) and it LITERALLY hurt to wash it off. I looked incredible. She is the ONLY person I trust with my face 🤞🏼 Selina you are a visionary!"
