GINGER SNAPS BEAUTY

Hi there! I’m the creative behind Ginger Snaps, your go-to makeup artist nestled in the heart of Wilmington! Once a professional NBA dancer, I’ve gracefully transitioned to my true passion — the art of making people feel extraordinary through the magic of beauty.

My journey into makeup began at a young age, driven by a desire for independence in preparing for dance competitions and the unique challenge of finding suitable shades as a redhead. Frustrated, I dedicated countless hours to perfecting techniques and mastering the art of color matching to complement my features.

As my skills blossomed, I naturally became the go-to hair and makeup artist within my friend circle. The joy of helping women look and feel their best led me to officially embark on my makeup artistry career in 2021. While my heart is particularly drawn to brides and bridal parties, I’m thrilled to make every individual shine for any special occasion — engagements, graduations, maternity announcements, birthdays, you name it — I’m happy to help you make you look and feel your best.

I also have a passion for taking photos — in studio or on site. It’s important to capture all of life’s special moments! Let me be your trusted partner in enhancing your beauty and capturing the essence of your most memorable moments. Ready to book?
