Hola!
I'm Francely pronounced [fran-sel-Ä“]
I'm a passionate makeup artist based in Chicago with OVER 20 YEARS of experience in the beauty industry. My journey into the world of makeup began with my love for fine art. As a former fine art student, I've always been fascinated by the power of color and transformation. I found that makeup was a natural extension of my artistic expression, allowing me to ENHANCE NATURAL BEAUTY and create stunning looks that empower individuals. Most of all I understand the emotional connection that comes with makeup and how it makes someone feel.
​
The key to being a great makeup artist is not only the technical skill, but also in listening and understanding each individuals needs. I believe that makeup is a tool for self-expression and confidence. It's about accentuating your unique features and crating a look that makes YOU FEEL BEAUTIFUL My signature style is SOFT AND GLOWY MAKEUP, which compliments a wide range of skin tones, skin types and ages. I take pride in my ability to work with individuals of ALL ETHNICITIES, to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and CONFIDENT IN THEIR OWN SKIN.

My Journey
​
I've been immersed in the beauty industry for over 20 years, and it's been a wild ride. From my early days at Clinique in Marshall Field's (throwback I know!) to my time at Sephora, I've had the opportunity to learn from the best and work with some incredible brands. As a lead artist and educator, I traveled extensively across the U.S. and Mexico, sharing my knowledge and passion for makeup with other artists.
But I knew I wanted to focus on my own artistry. So, I took the leap into freelance, and it's been the most rewarding experience. I absolutely love working with brides on their wedding day. Helping them feel confident and radiant is incredibly rewarding. When I'm not busy with weddings, you can find me diving into exciting projects like commercial shoots, corporate events, and collaborating with amazing brands.
I've worked with a diverse range of clients, and I truly believe that makeup is about enhancing your natural beauty and making you feel like the best version of yourself. I'm not about trends or gimmicks – I focus on creating looks that are timeless, sophisticated, and uniquely you. Let's work together to create something amazing.
My Mission
I'm committed to providing my clients with a personalized and professional experience. I take the time to understand your individual needs and preferences, ensuring that your makeup complements your unique style and personality.
My Passion
What I love most about being a makeup artist is the ability to make people feel beautiful and confident. It's a privilege to be a part of someone's special day or to help them feel their best for everyday life.
