I have been professionally doing makeup since 2011 & a licensed esthetician since 2015.

My makeup story starts a little untraditionally. I started my professional journey back stage at Houston fashion week. My brother, Jonathan Blake, a very talented designer believed in me & brought me along to apply makeup for one of his debut shows. It was fast paced & chaotic but I LOVED it! From there, I decided I’d get my esthetics license as soon as possible & that’s exactly what I did. Until I received my license in 2015 from the Aveda Institute, I worked many fashion shows with my brother as well as weddings, homecomings, & proms. Makeup has been a passion of mine since the very beginning.

Once licensed, I got two jobs. I worked in a spa doing facials & waxing as well as a professional makeup job downtown to keep the creativity alive. I worked alongside Edward Sanchez for a few years & still consider him a friend to this day. I learned to thread & measure eyebrows perfectly to each unique customer while under his wing. Together, we did body painting for the art car parade, makeup for the B52’s, private Día de Los Muertos parties & many, many other fun events. I’ve worked just about every kind of makeup job you can think of… nothing ever surprises or stumps me. I’ve taken pageantry makeup courses with Danielle Boyle of The Perfect Face in Houston, TX. As well as professional classes with Rain Cosmetics In Las Vegas, NV & was certified through their program as an artist.

Since becoming a mother, I have stepped away from the regular 9-5 & have been focusing on my makeup business the last few years. I’m so thankful for all the clients whom I have met & worked with along the way. I absolutely love when I get referrals! My story aside, my main goal is to make you feel beautiful, confident, & like YOU. I never want to mask or change you, but instead make you feel like you on your best day!

If you have questions, please reach out. I truly can’t wait to work together!

With Love,

A. Rose
