Akua Robinson

Akua Robinson is Washington, D.C. based professional freelance makeup artist. Her interest in beauty started at a young age where she originally wanted to be a hair stylist and makeup artist & own her own salon. She attended the University of the District of Columbia and obtained an AAS in Business Technology and a BBA in Computer Information & System Sciences. After graduating from college & having difficulty finding a job in her field she decided to revisit her dreams of being a makeup artist. As a graduate of Bennett Career Institute in D.C. with a concentration in Makeup Artistry, Akua has gone on to assist celebrity Makeup Artist Merrell Hollis (Wendy Williams) at the Bennett Career Institute Celebrity Makeup Symposium, is working with Danessa Myricks of I Make You Beautiful behind the scenes and at trade shows such as Bronner Brothers and the Makeup Show, and has transformed many faces in local fashion shows for Models Inc. and the Bennett Career Institute Reunion Hair Show. Akua\'s ultimate goal with her artistry is to become a published editorial makeup artist in publications such as Vogue, Elle, Harper\'s Bazaar, and W Magazine, to name a few. She is willing to travel and is available for all of your makeup needs such as print, wedding/bridal, birthdays, glam parties, makeovers, and other special events.
