Her journey began in Spain after earning a degree in Fine Arts—a foundation that continues to inform her sophisticated understanding of color theory, harmony, facial architecture, and texture. She trained at the prestigious Elite Makeup School in Madrid and launched her professional career in 2006. Relentlessly dedicated to growth, she studied with renowned artists worldwide and, in 2009, earned her Airbrush Certification with Temptu in New York. This elite training, paired with extensive on-set and editorial experience, has established her as Charleston’s premier airbrush authority—one of the only artists in the region delivering true professional- and editorial-level airbrush makeup.

​

Her impressive portfolio includes work with celebrities such as Margarita Rosa de Francisco, Angélica Blandón, Ana de la Reguera, Donia Duchess, Patty Aubery, Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, and Veronica LaBalme. Her artistry has graced the pages of Southern Bride, Style Me Pretty, Interviu, WOW Magazine, Cosas, Panorama, Clubes, and numerous global campaigns. She has collaborated with brands including NIVEA, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Roche, Mercedes-Benz, Yanbal, and Absolut Vodka, and formerly served as the Official Makeup Artist for Bourjois in Spain and as a MAC Pro artist.

 

Eight years ago, Paolah relocated to Charleston—consistently ranked America’s top wedding destination—and discovered her true calling in bridal beauty. It perfectly marries everything she loves: flawless, radiant skin; intentional artistry; and the privilege of helping women feel breathtakingly confident on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. Today she specializes exclusively in luxury bridal makeup, creating timeless yet contemporary looks that range from romantic and classic to understated editorial elegance and red-carpet glamour.

 

Her film and editorial background has honed a calm presence and an instinctive ability to craft makeup that photographs impeccably while remaining fresh, lightweight, and effortlessly natural in person. Brides cherish her meticulous eye, advanced corrective and anti-aging techniques, and her dedication to designing completely bespoke looks that enhance each woman’s unique features, personality, and style.
