Angie Mehlhorn

My name is Angie and my full time career is makeup artistry. I’ve had the privilege of creating characters for networks such as Netflix, Paramount +, and Sony. I service up to 40 beautiful brides every year, and my work can be found in several bridal publications. I’m also proud to be a leader of a creative safe space for upcoming artists, working, and seasoned makeup artist on social media. I'm currently residing in Sewickley with my two children. A Pittsburgh native, lover of plants, art, books, and all things beauty. I take pride in providing elegant custom makeup looks, in a stress free luxurious experience. My favorite part of a makeup experience is working closely to collaborate creative minds, visions, and dreams. Now offering all things beauty, private client appointments, makeup lessons, makeup product, wedding inquiries, and film work.

Lisa Cunningham

Lisa Cunningham (she/her) is a Pittsburgh-based writer, designer, crossword puzzle addict, and the world's oldest awkward teenager.
