It’s me

Hey babes. Its me, Chelsea.

About me.

Meet Chelsea Elise Gavin Lile - A Makeup Maven and Super Mom!

Hey there! Its me Chelsea, also known as the makeup magician who sprinkles glam and glitz wherever she goes!


Let me proudly introduce you to my wonderful world - where mascara wands and motherhood reign supreme. I've been happily hitched for nearly six joy-filled years and am blessed with two beautiful children, Landon and Charlie.


Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, I've made Wilmington my cozy abode for the past 15 years. It's safe to say that the Carolina sunsets and sandy shores have stolen my heart.


Where did my journey into the world of beauty begin, you ask? Well, picture this - a bright-eyed graduate from the Aveda Institute in Charlotte, armed with an esthetician's diploma. Fast forward 17 fabulous years, and here we are - embracing the magic of makeup artistry! From doling out makeup masterpieces to family and friends to landing spots at local shoots, fashion shows, weddings, and even glossy magazine spreads, my passion for blush brushes and lipstick swatches has only deepened over time.


Now, here's where the fun begins - I've had the absolute joy of glamming up the stellar cast of One Tree Hill every time they swing by Wilmington for conventions. Yes, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Sophia Bush, Chad Michael Murray, and the gang has become such an amazing point in my career. But wait, there's more! I've had the honor of working my makeup magic on quite the star-studded lineup, including Michael & Jean Strahan's darling daughter, Governor Roy Cooper (yes, you read that right!), Jon Stewart, and even a delightful Hallmark segment at the stunning Biltmore Estate over the Christmas holidays! Talk about sprinkling some sparkle, huh?

And if you're one to browse through pages, you will see my work in The Knot anniversary issue, Focus on the Coast Weddings, The Carolinas Magazine, and a plethora of features in Wilma Magazine and Wilmington Parent Magazine.

I am so excited you’re here and I am ready to work together!
