MakeUpStyle Designs is an on-site business filled with the passion and love for Makeup Artistry and Beauty Expression.

It was created by Makeup Artist Ivette Barahona. Her experience started when she was almost a teenager by doing occasional works for school theatre presentations. Later, she became professionally trained for Makeup Artistry, Up Dos Hair Design and Image Consultation at the ASTC Modeling Academy, a National Artistic Association in her native Latin American country. At that time Ivette worked for Fashion Shows, National TV and Special Event/ Presentations. Her natural talent led her to win two competitions in the categories of Most Creative Makeup and the Most Appealing Look.

Years later, Ivette brought her experience and talent to the United States. She enhanced her skills at the prestigious AIU (American Intercontinental University) in Buckhead, GA, where she studied Art & Design, Advanced Color Theory, Free Hand Drawing and Painting Techniques classes among some others.

In addition, Ivette upgraded and updated her knowledge by being personally trained in the Airbrush Makeup Technique and the Body Art of Temporary Tattoos by a New Yorker Emmy Award winner Makeup Artist.

Although she has experience in the Fashion /Modeling Industry, Ivette enjoys working with Brides and Bridal Parties and Formal/ Special Events. She and her team of talented Makeup Artists and Up Style Hair Designers love to create Beauty as a whole concept. Their commitment and goal are to make each woman feel her most beautiful on her Special Day. Their strategy is simple: They treat each client as the star of her own dream on her own stage.

“In my job, there is nothing more rewarding than looking at the mirror just behind my client’s face at the same time than them. I know that I did my best when they smile pleasured and confident after a few seconds that they see their new polished and refined reflection. I will always thank The Lord for letting me do what I love to do and because He has given me the inspiration and strength to make my dream a BEAUTIFUL reality through mine and my beloved team member’s hands. Thanks a lot to the Talented Emily Connors, the Handsome Alberto V, and the Glamorous Elizabeth. Thank you all for visiting and please let us prove you that the best is always worthy…”
