Vancouver makeup artist
I'm Jolie, a Blanche Macdonald certified makeup artist. I do skin-first makeup for brides, events and photoshoots. It looks like you, just softer.
Services
What I do
Three kinds of appointments, one approach: prep the skin well, build light layers, and finish so it lasts.
Bridal
A trial to build your look, then on-location makeup on the morning, for you and your party. Made to last from first look to last dance.
How bridal worksEvents
Birthdays, galas, grads and date nights. Soft, glowy skin with as much or as little definition as the night calls for.
Book event glamPhotoshoots
Makeup that reads well on camera without looking heavy in person. Tested for both flash and natural light.

Hi, I'm Jolie.
I trained at Blanche Macdonald Centre in Vancouver, and I now do makeup and manage the studio at Blo Vancouver. Most of my week is spent with brides, birthday girls and anyone who wants to feel a little more like themselves.
My style is soft glam. That means fresh, luminous skin, warm sculpting and lashes that open the eye without taking over. If you've ever looked at photos and thought "that's too much", this is the opposite.

Good questions

Still wondering? Send a DM to @makeupbyjoliespecht.
What is soft glam?
Glowing, even skin, softly sculpted cheeks, blended neutral eyes and lashes. It looks polished in photos and still looks like you in person.
How far ahead should I book my wedding?
As soon as you have a date. Saturdays from May to September go first. Book your trial for 4 to 8 weeks before the wedding.
Do you come to me?
For weddings and groups, yes, across Metro Vancouver. Single appointments are at the studio. Early starts and longer drives have a travel fee.
Are lashes included?
Yes. Every full-glam service includes strip or individual lashes, matched to your eye shape.
I have sensitive skin. Can you work with that?
Yes. Mention it when you book, along with any allergies, and Jolie will plan your products around it.
How do deposits work?
You pay a deposit when you book online. It comes off your final price. Reschedule at least 48 hours ahead and it moves with you.
Your chair is ready.
See open times, pick your service and pay a small deposit to hold the spot. It takes about two minutes.
