Lisa Cooper
Makeup Artist
I’m often asked what led me to a career in Makeup Artistry, and for me, it goes far beyond a love for makeup. I always had a passion for the arts, which grew stronger in college as I pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, studying painting, drawing, and photography.
After graduation, I moved to New York City, where I began a 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 in 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, and have taken advanced Bridal Makeup training at Kristina Gasperas Makeup Academy in London, UK. ​​

The Experience
In addition to traditional makeup applications, I offer Airbrushing, False Lash application, makeup for HD and fantasy/Halloween makeup. The products and brands I use in my kit suit ALL shades of beauty, and are safe, high-impact, high quality and most of all, provide consistent results. I also strive to use brands and products that are cruelty-free and environmentally conscious whenever possible.
