MELISSA COLLAZO IS A PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST, EDUCATOR, AND SPEAKER BASED IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA AND WORKING GLOBALLY.

Melissa’s affinity for makeup artistry was born at a very early age beginning with her time on stage performing as a dancer, singer, and musical theater actress. However, it wasn’t until her husband switched careers to follow his dreams that she began to look at makeup artistry as a viable career path versus a beloved hobby.

Melissa’s work has been featured on the runways of New York Fashion Week, on the cover of international publications, in various commercial and e-commerce projects, and on the happy faces of her private clients.

In Melissa’s next chapter, she is bringing together her background in education and psychology with her passion for beauty; helping her clients step into their own spotlight with the guiding principle that “beauty is yours to define.”
