TRAVELING MAKEUP ARTISTY SPECIALIZING IN AIRBRUSHING
Makeup application is not only something I produce, it's something that produces a change in my clients, bringing to the surface their ideal features. In all my years, I have not stopped learning or studying new techniques and cosmetics through classes and reading. I am constantly updating our website and my cosmetic collection. I only use the finest of sanitization practices and products, such as: Temptu, Mac, Bobbi Brown, Face Atelier, Ben Nye, Mehron, Estee Lauder, and Dior just to name a few.
I have been doing makeup for over 20 years with specific classes ranging from Mac Cosmetics to Make Up First backed by a B.S. in business and marketing with additional college science classes (i.e. chemistry, anatomy and physiology, blood born pathogens, etc.). I not only understand makeup and application at the chemical level (with the highest regards to sanitation) but with an eye for the art of aesthetics. Diva Me Bella is an LLC, trademarked and insured. I pride ourselves on our business ethics and ensure all the artists are licensed/certified and insured with a reputable reputation followed by unparalleled talents!
Flashback to 2016: I had the financial opportunity present itself to start my own business (Diva Me Bella) and follow my dreams, so I did not hesitate and I left the corporate world, married my high school sweet heart and had a couple of kids. I truly love doing makeup and meeting new people. I enjoy being a part of their adventure-from a night out on the town to a bride's big day!
Our philosophy is simple: Strive For Nothing Less Then Perfect. We know that our reputation is only as good as our last client's happiness. This is why we excel at the fine art of perfection. On your big day, we will deliver nothing but the best in bringing out your inner beauty. Hire us and the world will see what we see, a BEAUTIFUL DIVA ... Diva Me Bella!
