Deposit for Makeup Retreat: Milan Italy, Sept. 11-15, 2028

from $950.00

Total Cost: $5950.

A non-refundable deposit will secure your spot. We are taking a very small group of people. The Retreat is non-refundable under any circumstance. Flights/transportation are not included.

Milan has always understood that beauty is not separate from artistry, fashion, design, and identity. It lives in the details. The tailoring. The architecture. The face. The way someone enters a room.

I’ve curated iconic experiences and hidden magic to create a retreat that feels indulgent and creatively electric. Set against the backdrop of Milan and Lake Como, this experience invites you to slow down, observe, create, and reconnect with your personal aesthetic.

Here, beauty is intentional. Italian glamour has never been afraid of sensuality, drama, craftsmanship, or excess. We’ll explore all of it, not to copy what already exists, but to notice what it unlocks in your own work.

You cannot recreate missed inspiration.

This is an investment in your creativity, your confidence, your eye, and the work you haven’t made yet.

Milan has spent generations proving that beauty can be serious business.

Fashion houses have built entire worlds here from color, proportion, texture, fantasy, and point of view. Italian beauty has always understood the power of being seen. Of taking up space beautifully. Of making something so specific to you that nobody else could have created it.

That is the energy of this retreat.

You won’t just leave with photographs and memories. You’ll leave seeing differently. Creating differently. Trusting your own taste a little more.

SOME OF WHAT WE’LL EXPERIENCE:

🛥️ Lake Como: a private day on one of the most cinematic lakes in the world, surrounded by villas, mountains, old-world glamour, and approximately one million reasons to rethink your entire aesthetic

👗 Milan fashion + design: iconic neighborhoods, extraordinary architecture, Italian craftsmanship, vintage finds, fashion history, and the kind of visual inspiration you simply cannot get from scrolling

📸 An Italian beauty shoot: bring your creative vision to life using everything you’ve absorbed from Milan and Lake Como

And that’s just the beginning.

I’ve planned beautiful little moments away from the obvious tourist checklist, because those are usually the ones you remember forever.

WHY THIS RETREAT IS DIFFERENT:

This is an intentional experience created around artistry, connection, curiosity, and actually enjoying the life you worked so hard to build.

✨ Live your Italian fantasy: espresso at a café, vintage treasures, aperitivo, dramatic architecture, impossibly chic people-watching, long dinners, Lake Como by boat, and beauty everywhere you turn

✨ Small, hand-picked group: vibes matter. No competition. No weird mean-girl energy. Ever.

✨ Unforgettable beauty moments: the kind that quietly change the way you see color, texture, faces, fashion, and your own work

✨ A love letter to your creativity: because sometimes the best thing you can do for your career is leave the classroom, leave the routine, and go experience something extraordinary

Milan is not asking you to be subtle. Neither am I.
