( About Petalquill )

Good makeup should feel invisible and unmistakable at the same time. We listen first, then build a look around your face, your skin and the story of your day.

Looks Made For You

Every application starts from your features, not from a template.

Seasoned Artists

A small team trained in bridal, editorial and everyday work, with steady hands.

Since opening our New York studio we have worked on weddings, galas, magazine shoots and first dates. That range lets us mix techniques freely, so skin tone, light, outfit and personality always shape the finish.

Whether the occasion is a ceremony, a headshot or simply a day you want to feel good, we keep the process calm, the products comfortable and the result easy to wear from the first photo to the last dance.
