Welcome
Hi, I'm Embla
A makeup artist, stylist and a hardworking optimist - born in Iceland, raised in Seattle, and turned New Yorker. Blessed with world traveling and a big social life - nowadays I’m happiest when spending my free time at home with my husband and dogs, reading or trying new recipes.
I’m all about the juxtaposition of beautifully made documentaries and trashy reality TV. I obsess over animal prints, thigh high boots, sexy lashes, growing my own produce and did I say trashy reality TV?
I’m dedicated to making people look their most beautiful and dynamic selves. I stay away from mainstream trends and fake beauty. I’m here to make my clients look and feel authentic, vibrant, fearless and stunning, but most of all confident and happy.
