The Babe Behind The Makeup Brush
Gillian Messina
Born and raised in Long Island, New York, I fell completely head over heels with the world of cosmetics by the time I was a teenager. At the age of eighteen, I worked for MAC Cosmetics where I was able to express bold and dramatic artistry. I spent many years working at a dance instructor for many schools and programs and would always volunteer to apply theatrical stage makeup for each show’s leading ladies. In 2014, I began working in the wedding industry where I discovered a new passion for natural bridal looks.
I decided to relocate to Wilmington, North Carolina in 2017. This beautiful beach town quickly felt like home after becoming a Clinique Consultant. I have building my connections with many talented photographers in the area who keep me busy doing what I love most - helping their clients feel beautiful.
I welcome the opportunity to meet you and help you feel absolutely flawless for your special occasion.
