MAKEUP... My PASSION!!!
Melanie Ramirez is a self-taught Makeup Artist based out of Los Angeles and Orange County who specializes in beauty makeup. With over ten years of experience, her love for makeup stemmed from the time she was a toddler, always indulging in her mothers cosmetic bag. It wasnt until Melanie graduated high school that she made makeup and its artistry more of a focus and passion in her life. Melanie started doing makeup for family and friends, which then led her to start working with photographers and models performing test shoots. She then went on to work for a very well-known cosmetic line where her knowledge and skill broadened as she became a highly requested artist. Melanie quickly became certified in the fashion show industry as a fashion show makeup artist and was instantly noticed for her speed, skill, and accuracy. This has given her the advantage to work for several designers during the Los Angeles Fashion Week and Concept Fashion Week.

Today, Melanie's main focus is working in runway, print, and bridal makeup. She draws her inspirations from not only her son and mother, but from fellow artists and beauty that surrounds her. She has had the honor to assist and learn from amazing and talented celebrity artists; She continues to attend updated trainings and workshops to maintain her knowledge of current techniques, products, and trends in the industry. Her goal is to continue to excel as an artist in both the makeup and fashion industry and to enhance the beauty of her clientele through makeup.
