OUR STORY
About Ivy Ember
A decade behind the chair, a kit full of trusted favorites, and one belief: the best makeup looks like you on your very best day.
MAKEUP ARTIST
The artist behind the chair
I'm Ivy Ember, a licensed makeup and hair stylist based in Norwalk, Connecticut. For ten years I've specialized in bridal parties, editorial shoots and occasion styling — work where there are no second takes and everything has to last.
My approach is skin-first and pressure-free. We start with a real conversation about your features, your sensitivities and your plans for the day, then build a look in layers: luminous skin, balanced eyes and a finish that survives happy tears, humidity and hours of photographs. Brides often tell me the trial felt like coffee with a friend who happens to hold a brush — that is exactly the atmosphere I protect on wedding mornings too.

HOW I WORK
Calm mornings, lasting looks
01
Consultation & trial
We map your look together — inspiration images welcome — and perfect it in a relaxed trial session.
02
Skin-first preparation
Cleansing, massage, masking and priming matched to your skin type, so makeup melts in rather than sitting on top.
03
On-the-day artistry
In-studio or on-location, with a timed schedule, a touch-up kit for your clutch, and zero rushing.
A kit you can trust
Every formula I use is professional grade, cruelty free and tested on sensitive skin. Foundations span a genuinely inclusive shade range, and everything is sanitized between clients — no double-dipped mascara, ever.
