Where artistry meets authenticity.

At Studio Standard makeup our goal is offer something deeper to the community. Beyond beauty services, we share perspective, build connections, and believe that true artistry is a collaboration of expressed feelings.

When working with clients, our focus is simple: to ensure every person looks and feels exceptional. We aim to create lasting impressions that inspire confidence, trust, and genuine connection.

In education, we approach makeup as a modern art form—rooted in classic technique yet mindful of its evolution through digital media. Through our partnership with CHE SGUARDO Makeup Studio in River North, Chicago, we continue to educate and inspire artists through hands-on training and professional mentorship.

Our team is here to makeup you look and feel extraordinary.
