How a bridal makeup artist was born
about
This is the story of a little girl who fell in love with beauty on a stage and never stopped finding ways to share it.
Hi, I’m Ann!
This is my journey as a bridal hair stylist and makeup artist.
I was 9 years old the first time I fell in love with beauty. I had just been enrolled in Filipino Folk Dance, and before I could learn a single step, I had to learn how to do my own stage makeup and pin my hair into a sleek, perfect bun. Nobody taught me. I figured it out on my own, but something about that process lit me up in a way nothing else had.
Over time, I became the girl everyone turned to. Can you help me with my lashes? Can you do my lipstick? I didn't have a kit or a title. I just had a genuine love for making the people around me feel beautiful, and I couldn't imagine anything more meaningful than that. Although the stage called for bold, heavy looks, I always gravitated toward something softer off of it.
More natural. More you, but better.
That quiet preference became my philosophy and eventually, my calling.

The person behind the bridal makeup artist title
When I'm not behind the chair, I'm a lover of love in every form — a romanticizer of everyday moments, a girl's girl through and through, and someone who believes deeply that every woman deserves to feel seen and celebrated. I am Filipino American, and cultural intelligence and inclusivity are not just values I talk about — they are woven into everything I do. In my free time, I love traveling the world with my husband, practicing portrait photography and obsessing over BTS, the global K-Pop group.
My beliefs as a bridal makeup artist and hairstylist
Every artist has a philosophy. Mine was shaped by years of making people feel beautiful — on stage, behind the chair, and everywhere in between. These are the beliefs that guide every appointment, every look, and every bride I have the honor of working with as a bridal hair and makeup artist. Ready to experience Dela Paris Beauty for yourself?
i believe...
your wedding morning should feel as beautiful as it looks.
great makeup starts with great skin — and great skin takes time, intention, and guidance.
your features are not a challenge to work around. They are the masterpiece.
every bride deserves to feel seen, not transformed into someone else's idea of beautiful.
inclusivity isn't a trend. It's the foundation.
you've been beautiful this whole time. I'm just here to make sure you finally see it.
What makes Dela Paris Beauty unique
Skin first. Always.
I built Dela Paris Beauty knowing that great makeup and hair starts long before your wedding morning. It starts with your skin. Your hair health. Months of intention and care.
I know this personally. I have struggled with acne and spent years not understanding my own hair texture. I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back. And I know how life-changing it is when you finally do. That personal journey is why, when you work with me, we start well before your wedding day — building a foundation together so that by the time you sit in my chair, we're not starting from scratch. We're revealing what was always already there.
You are safe here.
If you've ever sat in a makeup chair and walked away not quite feeling like yourself — foundation that didn't match, a look that felt too heavy, or an artist who never took the time to truly understand you — I want you to know: you are safe here.
I’m a bridal hair and makeup artist who welcomes people of all complexions, undertones, and backgrounds and specializes in working with Asian brides and brides of color, honoring both Eastern and Western beauty techniques with cultural awareness and deep intention. Inclusivity isn't something I talk about. It's the foundation of everything I do. Your features aren't a challenge to work around. They are the masterpiece.
