My name is Maura De la Cruz and I’m a makeup artist and enthusiast based in central Massachusetts. My love for all things beautiful led me to art school where I studied fine arts. Although professionally, I’ve mainly worked in the corporate world, I’ve also been privileged to hone my skills as a makeup artist at weddings and photo shoots in NYC, Philadelphia and Massachusetts. My approach to beauty centers the wearer: I want each individual to have the tools they need to achieve whatever it is they want, all the way from learning a full-glam routine for nights out to finding that one perfect lip balm. I believe makeup and skin care should be fun and confidence-boosting.
