DiiMakeup Artistry and Me

Hello to you and first of all thank you so much for following my blog. My name is Diana, or like most call me, Dii. I am an experienced Freelance Makeup Artist with an absolute love of all things make up related, as well as, fashion, style, music, photography, and  pretty much any form of art. I was born in Brownsville, Texas, but raised in Matamoros, Mexico; thus, encouraging me to take full advantage of my bicultural upbringing. As it is obvious, I love makeup and try my absolute best to instill my passions into my everyday life.

My interest in makeup began in my early teens and developed into an interest for the makeup industry by the time I entered college. I graduated from The University of Texas with a Bachelors Degree in Business Management and an Associates Degree in Business Administration for Management. It was one year after graduation that I decided to pursue my passion for makeup by enrolling at Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles, California. While there, I underwent intensive curriculum on Professional Makeup Artistry. The courses not only strengthened my natural skills, but also developed new skills in beauty makeup, characterization makeup, and special effects makeup.

My experience includes providing make up consultations and applications to various groups of clientele. Much of my clientele comprises of individuals and/or groups from bridal parties, quinceaneras, formal events, and so forth. In addition, I provide make up applications for photo shoot models and actors (in local theatrical productions). Furthermore, I also teach make up application classes for both individual and group parties.

A few months ago, I decided to create a page to showcase some of my work so clients and potential clients could see. You can check it out at www.diimakeupartistry.com. I had an artist design my logo, she was awesome and completely  imprinted my personality and ideas into the logo. Check her out at www.imagerydesignstudio.com and tell her I sent you ;) DiiMakeup Artistry is the beginning of a dream in the process of becoming true, I have plans to develop it more and with time reach my main goal with it. But I will tell you about that later.

This is my Logo!!!  =D

Well, this pretty much sums up a bit about myself and my passion for makeup. As posts go on you will read about makeup trends, application, techniques, product recommendations, product reviews, beauty articles, beauty in fashion, and anything beauty or artsy related I come across with. Not only that but will also get to learn a bit more about what I do. So stay tuned because there is a more coming up your way! 

Enjoy and again, thanks a bunch!!!

Love n' Lipstick, Dii Alvarado.
