Beauty – Denver

I started doing makeup at a very young age. My first makeup application was in 8th grade, I turned myself into a hornet and became our school mascot. I grew up in a salon where my mom worked as a receptionist. It always felt like home and where I belonged. Art was a huge part of my every day life in many different forms. All I ever wanted to do was color, paint, and make crafts. As I got older and discovered theater, comic books, scary movies, and pop culture it inspired me to discover new types of art. I began working as a freelance makeup artist in my free time in my early twenties. I then discovered the world of cosplay and sfx makeup and I was hooked. I strive everyday to learn more and create original characters. I recently graduated from Denver School of Botanical & Medical Aesthetics, and plan to attend Cinema Makeup school in the near future! My favorite educational experience so far was obtaining my certificates from Hollywood Makeup Academy. I have worked countless fashion shows, photo shoots, and have been published in several local magazines. My experience working as a makeup artist for the 13th floor was awesome and inspired me to learn more! One day I hope to build up my experience in television, film and theater. I love art in all its forms and I am excited to share my visions with you all!
