Welcome to The Makeup Table
Personalized Makeup Lessons & Hair Salon in Denver, CO
Welcome to The Makeup Table, your personal beauty & hair salon in Denver — where it’s all about you.
I help women across Denver simplify their beauty routines by thoughtfully sorting through their makeup and skincare collections. We keep what works, let go of what doesn’t, and I show you exactly how to use what you already own with confidence. Together, we’ll create a simple, personalized beauty routine that suits your style and your life.
This isn’t about trends or overwhelm. It’s about learning, exploring, and feeling good in your own skin—at every age and every stage.

The Makeup Table
About me
I’m based in Denver, Colorado, but I got my start in upstate New York. My love for beauty took root early—watching my mom expertly tease her hair to new heights and swipe on her signature coral lipstick like a total pro. By third grade, I was running a full-blown beauty operation out of my bedroom: makeup table, mirror, blue eyeshadow, sparkly Wet n Wild lip gloss, and a curling iron I probably had no business using. But hey, I was on a mission!
What started as a childhood obsession grew into a career I’ve studied, practiced, and refined for over 25 years. As a licensed cosmetologist, I’ve spent decades mastering the art and science of makeup, skincare, and hair—all so I can help women feel confident, radiant, and completely themselves (minus the frosted blue eyeshadow… unless that’s your thing).
Beauty is not just my profession; it’s my passion. I’m excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm to guide you on your own journey of beauty.

What my client's are saying...
“The Makeup Table everyone needs – Dede did a full makeup inventory, taught me how to use what I already own and pointed out what I was missing (with no judgement). I like to keep things simple and she totally got that. She also introduced me to new finds I wouldn’t have considered without her walking me through how and why to use them – items that support an efficient routine and are reasonably priced. Dede is an expert and seriously knows her stuff. If your makeup routine needs a brush up, this is where to start.”
~Jennifer
“I had the most wonderful experience with The Makeup Table! From start to finish, it truly felt like having a personal beauty concierge dedicated to me. Instead of pushing the latest trends or overwhelming me with products, the focus was on simplifying and making the most of what I already have. What I loved most was how personalized the experience was. Together, we went through my current beauty collection—keeping the products that really work for me, letting go of the ones that don’t, and learning new techniques to use everything with confidence. I left with a routine that feels effortless, authentic to my style, and sustainable for my everyday life. The Makeup Table isn’t just about makeup—it’s about empowerment and feeling good in your own skin at every age and stage. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to feel refreshed, confident, and beautifully themselves.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Makeup Table?
The Makeup Table is a beauty education and service experience designed to make makeup feel simple, approachable, and wearable for real life. I specialize in personalized makeup education, natural beauty services, and confidence boosting techniques.
Who do you work with?
I work with adults of all ages, beginners, and anyone who wants makeup that feels like them. I also offer a Teen Edit, where teens learn makeup hygiene, basic application, and how to care for their skin from the start.
Can you help with everyday makeup?
Absolutely. Everyday makeup is my specialty. I focus on realistic techniques you can recreate at home—no heavy contouring, no complicated steps, just makeup that fits your life.
What is The Signature Edit?
The Signature Edit is a one-on-one makeup session created to simplify your routine. We edit through what you already own in your makeup bag , refine your techniques, and clarify what truly works for your skin, lifestyle, and comfort level—so getting ready feels easier and more enjoyable.
Do I need to bring my own makeup?
Yes. The Signature Edit is designed around your current collection. You’re welcome to bring everything, but a more curated selection helps us make the most of our time together. Think intentional, not overwhelming.
How should I arrive for my Edit appointment?
If possible, arrive with clean, moisturized skin and no makeup so we can start fresh. If that’s not an option, no stress—we’ll work with what you have on. The Edit is about learning, not perfection.
Is The Edit beginner-friendly?
Very much so. The Edit is perfect for beginners, returning makeup wearers, or anyone feeling overwhelmed by products, trends, or techniques.
When are you available for hair appointments?
What’s the difference between the Signature Edit and the Ultimate Edit?
The Signature Edit focuses on refining and simplifying your everyday routine.
Consider it a personalized makeup session where we simplify your routine with products you
already own.
We focus on:
- What to keep
- What to edit out
- How to apply what you already own
- What (if anything) to add moving forward
The Ultimate Edit builds on that foundation and is ideal if you want both education and to leave fully ready. This option includes indulgent skincare prep followed by a complete makeup application using your own curated products.
The Ultimate Edit allows more time for skincare prep, deeper education, and expanded product
guidance.
In short:
- Choose The Signature Edit if your goal is learning and long-term confidence.
- Choose The Ultimate Edit if you want education plus a finished look and skincare prep.
Do you offer group workshops?
Yes. I host intimate, beginner-friendly group workshops throughout the year at local venues and libraries. These classes focus on everyday makeup, skin prep, and confidence—never pressure.
Do you sell makeup products?
I don’t operate a traditional retail store, but I do offer thoughtfully curated product recommendations tailored to your needs and budget. Some links may be affiliate-based, and I only recommend products I genuinely trust or use myself.
Where are you located?
I’m based in the Denver Highlands area and work with clients throughout the Denver metro area.
Do you offer in-home services or virtual sessions?
Select in-home services and virtual lessons are available for private sessions, depending on location and availability.
How do I book or get in touch?
Appointments and workshops can be booked through my website. If you don’t see availability or aren’t sure which service is right for you, reach out—I’m always happy to help guide you
