At Ginger Snaps Beauty, my mission is to enhance natural features through expert skin guidance and professional makeup artistry. I believe radiant makeup begins with communication. Tell me everything — from your favorite lash style to your ideal wing, blush obsession, coverage level and brow thickness. Understanding every detail means I can craft a look that’s not just beautiful, but better than you imagined.

COURTNEY

After years in corporate marketing, I followed the pull toward something more creative and fulfilling — and never looked back. What started as a personal passion (figuring out how to enhance my natural features as a redhead with fair skin) grew into a calling: helping others feel confident and understood.

From my time as an NBA dancer testing long-wear makeup under stage lights, to becoming a licensed esthetician, I’ve spent years perfecting skin-first techniques that look stunning and feel like you. Today, I combine artistry, expert product knowledge, and warm, personalized care to make sure every client feels beautiful, supported, and celebrated.
