Makeup By Darian Marie

“I believe all women are pretty without makeup—but with the right makeup they can be pretty powerful.” – Bobbi Brown Growing up interested in art and dance, I have always found creative ways to showcase beauty. Many years of applying stage makeup and practicing my artwork left me with a passion for makeup and a skill set that comes naturally. Bringing my artistry to makeup was a seamless transition into a rewarding career as a professional Makeup Artist. With over fifteen years in the makeup industry creating inspired looks for clients comes naturally and is extremely rewarding. I began my career after attending the Long Island Beauty School and have since worked with many high-end brands and artists that have helped me grow into the professional I am today. Joining the makeup team for MAC Cosmetics as my first job was an amazing opportunity. During 6 years with MAC, I was exposed to the glamorous side of makeup through my participation in many celebrity-sponsored events and NY Fashion Week. After years of gaining experience on the makeup team, I moved forward in my career as the manager of Armani Makeup and eventually the Regional Makeup Artist for Smashbox Cosmetics. While I traveled the northeast in my position with Smashbox, my bridal makeup business began to take off and with that, DM Makeup Artistry was born! Having been on my own with DM Makeup for the past 10 years, I have been able to craft a team of 10 amazing ladies who help me achieve my dream of not only running a successful business, but creating glamorous, high quality makeup looks for an array of client types. I have been so fortunate to work with celebrity clients such as Katherine Narducci (Soprano’s, Netflix movie The Irishmen and Epix’s The Godfather of Harlem), Mercedes Javid (Bravo’s The Shah’s of Sunset), Anne Winters (Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why), Kimmie Shields (Netflix’s Insatiable), Danielle Staub and Teresa Giudice(Bravo’s RHONJ), and Angelina Pivarnick (Jersey Shore). My work has also been featured in various fashion ad campaigns or events for designer Donna Degnan and Randi Rahm, Pinina Tornai as well as a number of music videos for recording artist, Lisa Pure. My skills brought me to work for celebrities attending high profile events like the Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, MTA Music Awards, Hamptons Film Festival, Bravo Con while also giving me the opportunity to work with very talented people in the beauty business.
