Andrea Marie Betancourt...
is a Central Texas based self-taught Makeup Artist. Her love of makeup and art started early in childhood, putting makeup on her mother and friends. Her career started as a photographer with a well-known portrait company and her love of make up evolved. Andrea’s career has spanned over the last 18+ years working with companies such as Sephora, Estée Lauder and MAC Cosmetics. She loved the growth process, and after parting ways with MAC she chose one of the top skin Esthetics programs in the world to further her education and enhance her craft. Attending Paul Mitchell the School-Austin's state of the art facility, she learned from industry leaders and pros. The experience "gives me such an edge in an industry where knowledge is as important as application." It also means she has the skills to provide multiple services and deliver on experience. Along with earning her Esthetician’s license, she is also certified in lash extensions and three techniques of brows (powder ombré, microblading, and hybrid). Even though she has expanded her brand in becoming a skilled cosmetic tattoo artist and Licensed Skin Specialist, her love and passion for make up remains. Just as in art, Andrea believes the face to be a blank canvas with different attributes, textures and a story. Andreas’ extensive understanding of both skin and color theory gives her the ability to work with any skin tone, type and texture.
Today, Andrea continues to work passionately, creating exquisite makeup looks and helping her clients feel confident and look their best. She does this, all while bringing a loving energy to each job to create genuine connections and performing artistry from the heart while executing beautiful, timeless looks for brides and wedding parties, utilizing her skills with traditional make up and airbrushing.
Andrea loves the opportunity to learn and be creative in a team environment on editorial and commercial work and also giving makeup lessons to clients of any artistry level. Ultimately, her belief is that “sometimes it takes just a little make up for someone to see themselves as they are inside.”
