Hi I'm Ruth, Founder of Eternal Elegance
I discovered my passion for hair and makeup at an early age. Determined to take that passion and turn it into a career, I studied to become a cosmetologist and I loved every minute of it!
After working and learning in the most upscale New York schools and salons, I decided it was time for a move, and the east coast of North Carolina was my destination.
With over 25 years of experience and now based out of Wilmington, North Carolina, I work with local and destination brides at all of the popular wedding destinations in the area including, Topsail Island, Figure Eight Island, LandFall, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Bald Head Island, New Bern, Ocean Isle, Oak Island and of course, Wilmington.
With my passion for beauty, I make it a goal to make you look the most gorgeous and confident woman that you are on your special day!
Meet the Glam Team
Vanessa Urquilla
Vanessa discovered her love for makeup at a very young age. Eventually that led her to become a self-taught makeup artist, which lead her to begin a freelancing career in 2016. Since then she have been specializing in bridal artistry, but loves to take on other special occasions or photo shoots as requested. She went on to add an Esthetics license to her belt as of December 2017.
One of her favorite aspects of this trade is collaborating with clients to create a customized look for each of them.
She’s an absolute gem at Eternal Elegance.
