Meet Dr. Tomi

Founder of Brides by Insignia | Luxury Bridal Makeup Artist & Photographer

With over a decade of experience in luxury beauty and bridal artistry, I specialize in creating radiant, soft glam transformations designed exclusively for sophisticated Black brides. My signature approach blends refined technique with a deep understanding of skin tone, texture, and style — resulting in timeless, camera-ready looks that enhance your natural beauty without masking it.

From the first brushstroke to the final touch-up, my priority is ensuring you feel cared for, confident, and absolutely stunning — all day long. I’m not just your artist; I’m your calm presence, your beauty expert, and yes — your extra bridesmaid when you need one most.

Welcome to the Brides by Insignia experience. Let’s make your bridal glow unforgettable.

MORE ABOUT ME

Lauren J, IL

"I really enjoyed working with Tomi. She is very detailed to what the client wants and likes to let the client know what to expect next while doing makeup. My makeup turned out very beautifully and I received a lot of compliments. Since I’m not too much of a makeup person, Tomi took the suggested looks from the pictures I presented to her and customized it for me. I’m very pleased for how she did my makeup and she was very pleasant to work with. I already knew from seeing other brides get their makeup done by her that she was the right choice for me. I know I made the right decision by going with Brides by Insignia for my big day."
