I’m Courtney — Louisiana-based certified makeup artist with a passion for soft glam and naturally radiant looks, and proud owner of CSD Makeup Artistry!

Since 2015, I’ve specialized in bridal and special event makeup, helping women feel confident, beautiful, and completely themselves on some of the most important days of their lives.

Makeup, to me, is about more than just the final look — it’s about the experience. I strive to create a relaxed, fun, and luxury atmosphere where you feel comfortable and cared for. From our first chat to the final touch of setting spray, I’m here to bring your vision to life with clear communication, attention to detail, and a whole lot of good vibes!

But honestly? My favorite part of every appointment is getting to know the incredible woman sitting in my chair. I love hearing your story, sharing in your excitement, and making you feel like the most radiant version of you.

I can't wait to meet you and be part of your special day!
