Cassandra Suarez

Having grown up in the Northeast with a lifelong sensibility and passion for art, music and performing arts, my life has largely been a journey in beauty. For me, makeup artistry is an extension of myself, and my undying interest in humanity and character. My style can be summed up by a steadfast work ethic and a sense of excellency. When I commit to a project, I offer up an absolutist approach in collaboration, sophistication, and above all, perfectionism. No matter the style, concept or particular approach that my collaborators may call for, I always aim to achieve results that are second to none. My industry experience includes 10+ years of makeup artistry with highly regarded beauty/lifestyle entities such as Yves Saint Laurent, MAC, Armani, Nars and Bobbi Brown cosmetics. Beyond that, I've maintained a private clientele of beauty/fashion photographers, wedding patrons, E-commerce sites, television production (such as OK!TV, PBS etc),celebrities including Christina Milian, Omari Hardwick and Naturi Naughton of the hit show POWER, Jeimy Osorio from the hit Telemundo series CELIA, the cast of MTVs The Real World, the executive staff of LVMH, contestants from America's Next Top Model and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. My work has also been featured in such publications as Z!nk, NuMode, Endee and Musee. My vision for the world is a place where one can live/dream/work/love freely. Ultimately, creating is not just a hobby for me -- it's a lifestyle and my life's mission.
