My name is Dyana Aives, and I'm a Celebrity Makeup Artist, turned content creator and blogger. I come from a family of beauty professionals, so I've been doing hair and makeup for as long as I can remember.
I was the little girl doing "makeovers" at the slumber parties, that eventually grew up to paint the faces of the NY fashion scene. After 15 years in fashion, I decided to trade in the Prada heels, for a pair of Converse and a walkie-talkie and made the move to film and television.
I've had my brushes on stars such as Adriana Lima, Olivia Palermo, Padma Lakshmi, Parker Posey, Amy Schumer, to Russell Crowe, and even the Backstreet Boys.
I've watched my makeup walk the runways of designers, Thierry Mugler, Monique Lhuillier, and Betsey Johnson, and, I'm proud to call Coca-Cola, Nintendo, Playboy, Vanity Fair, and Sony Ericsson, some of my clients.
My work can be seen on such networks as MTV, VH1, Bravo and TLC Network, where
I had a brief stint as the On Camera Beauty Expert for a makeover show, called CoverShot, until the show ended.

I've seen this industry change so much over the last 20 years, that it seems only natural I'd feel the need to evolve as well. Blogging organically seemed like the next step, the next fold in the fabric. (is that even an expression?) I could take my years of experience, and product knowledge, and all my crazy stories and blurt it all out on the pages in front of me.
And just hope that you'll keep reading....
I have no idea where this road will lead me, but I'm excited to find out, and It means the world to me to have you along on this journey with me!
I hope you'll subscribe and stick around a bit?
