Mari has loved makeup since as early as she can remember, and has always had a passion for learning. Her love for makeup began after the first time her grandma did her makeup. The way makeup can transform the way you see yourself is truly beautiful and it's what started her love for the industry.

She graduated cosmetology school in 2019 from Paul Mitchell in St. Louis, and has been a freelance makeup artist ever since. She decided to became a full time makeup artist after meeting her mentor Joy Loveless. After taking several lessons with Joy, her passion just continued to grow and she just knew makeup was going to become her career full time.

Mari wants to make everyone feel the same way her grandma and Joy made her feel- special, and inspired. She has invested in her education by learning from some of the best artists in the country. She has taken classes with celebrity makeup artists and assisted numerous local artists. Mari is so excited to be a part of The Artist Edit and can't wait to have you in her chair!
