Passionate professionals dedicated to the art of makeup
Founded in 2015 by Emma Roberts, Subtled Dynamics began as a small makeup studio with a simple mission: to enhance natural beauty through the artful application of makeup. What started as a one-woman operation has grown into a team of five dedicated professionals, each bringing unique skills and specializations to our clients.
The name "Visagiste" comes from the French term for a makeup artist who works to enhance and complement a person's natural features rather than masking them. This philosophy remains at the heart of everything we do, whether we're preparing a bride for her special day, creating a bold look for a fashion photoshoot, or teaching clients how to perfect their everyday makeup routine.
With a combined experience of over 35 years in the beauty industry, our team has worked across bridal, editorial, fashion, film, and educational settings. We pride ourselves on staying at the forefront of makeup trends and techniques while maintaining a timeless approach that prioritizes each client's unique features and preferences.
We listen carefully to our clients' desires and concerns, creating customized looks that enhance their natural beauty and make them feel confident.
We pursue excellence in every application, using premium products and techniques to create flawless, long-lasting makeup looks.
We believe in empowering our clients through education, sharing techniques and product knowledge that helps them feel confident in their own makeup application.
We prioritize cruelty-free products and environmentally conscious practices, working toward a more sustainable approach to beauty.
Our talented team of makeup artists brings diverse skills and specializations to serve our clients' unique needs.

Emma and her team did the makeup for my entire bridal party, and they were absolutely incredible. Not only was everyone's makeup flawless and exactly what they wanted, but the team's calm, professional presence helped keep wedding day nerves at bay.
Bridal Client
I've taken several makeup lessons with Sophia, and the difference in my daily routine is remarkable. She taught me techniques specific to my eye shape and skin type that I never would have figured out on my own. Worth every penny!
Makeup Lesson Client
As a photographer, I've worked with many makeup artists, but Subtled Dynamics stands out for their ability to create photogenic looks that still look natural in person. They understand lighting and how makeup translates in different photography styles.
