Bio

Arielle has been working as a freelance makeup artist for over three years. She moved to New York City in 2004, with a tiny makeup kit, and a fire in her belly. Since then, she has worked for such companies as the Museum of Natural History and Comedy Central.

She is self -taught as both a makeup artist a special effects makeup artist. Growing up in an artistic environment (parents as illustrators and graphic designers), Arielle knew that she would never have a “real job”. She learned from her parents that freelancing was difficult, but the reward for working for your self was incredibly satisfying; choosing makeup as a career seemed like a perfect fit.

Arielle is a constant learner. Always working on personal projects in down time, and always challenging herself.
