Lisa Cooper
Makeup Artist

I’m often asked what led me to a career in Makeup Artistry, and my story goes far beyond a love for makeup. My passion for the arts began as a child, and eventually led me to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Arizona, where I studied painting, drawing, and photography.

After graduation, I moved to New York City, where I began my career working for one of the world's top makeup brands. That experience helped shape my technical skills, customer service skills, and deepen my understanding of the beauty industry. After over a decade of working on the corporate side, I decided to shift my passion and creativity toward a freelance career, which is where I am today. I offer specialized, on-location makeup services for my clients, including those in Corporate Beauty, Creative Beauty, and special events.

​

I am a licensed Esthetician, hold certificates in "Makeup Artistry for Beauty and Fashion" and "Hairstyling for Makeup Artists" from the New York Makeup Academy, studied Theatrical & Special Effects Makeup at Broward College, and have taken advanced Bridal Makeup training at Kristina Gasperas Makeup Academy in London, UK. ​​
