While some may consider the act of applying makeup an easy, routine practice, it’s one of those skills that turns to art in the right hand.
From getting celebs like Heidi Klum red carpet-ready, to sending hundreds of happy brides down the aisle, these Dallas makeup artists can do it all.
Desiree Phillips
Phillips creates glamorous looks that she shares with her 11K+ followers, but that’s just the beginning with her. She also has a clothing line she calls “MUA Black” as well as her own lash company, the Desire Lash Company. In addition, she provides personal shopping sessions to help you navigate makeup shopping.
Melisa J. Beauty
Melisa Jean-Charles has a passion for enhancing natural beauty, with years of editorial and wedding work under her belt. She also offers her makeup wisdom through lessons as well as through her work as a contributing writer for L’Oreal’s Makeup.com.

Her past clients include Brooke Shields, Kelly Clarkson, President George W. Bush and Anderson Cooper. You might've heard of them.
