Angela
Davis Deacon

Hi hi! 

I’m Angela, a leading NYC makeup artist, educator and ‘no makeup makeup’ queen. I have many years of experience across fashion and beauty editorial, commercial, celebrity, runway, and bridal.

Makeup artistry is my calling. My career began at just 17 in Sydney, Australia. I expanded to London U.K. and for 15 years I worked on fashion week, editorial and campaigns around the world making New York my home in 2017.

Along the way, I shared my expertise teaching my trademark makeup artistry style at renowned institutions like Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts,London), London South Bank University, Australian Centre for Photography and AOFM (Academy of Freelance Makeup) in both London and New York.

My work has been featured in top publications such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Elle magazines among many others. I’ve provided expert beauty commentary for skincare and makeup brands and titles such as Glamour, InStyle and WWD. I work on campaigns for skincare brands like Elemis, Cerave and Cetaphil where no visible makeup on skin and extreme attention to detail is critical.

Today, I am known for my signature glowing, real-looking skin and a natural, clean aesthetic; I do makeup that fits with a face, seamlessly enhancing rather than sitting on top - looking and feeling disconnected.

For my brides, I use skincare and minimal makeup to highlight unique features and personal style and I tailor each look inspired by my bride's individual beauty. I see beauty everywhere and in everyone. All beauties are welcome here regardless of skin tone, age, anything! Even if you never wear makeup, I truly understand what natural means - I’ll design a look that feels authentically you.

I always bring a warm, calm presence to every project including wedding days and one on one lessons.
