KELLY MAZZINI

Kelly was born and raised in Queens, NY, a borough known for its diversity and culture. A true New York City girl, she fell in love with art and fashion at a young age. Drawing and painting became her first means of self-expression. It wasn't until high school when she truly began to love makeup and its ability to enhance and transform. Makeup became her new favorite medium. She took her artistic ability from the canvas to the face.  

Prior to makeup, Kelly worked in the non-profit sector for several years. First in the areas of HIV/AIDS and domestic violence, later in education research and at the United Nations. Although she loved the connection this afforded her to help others, makeup was never too far. Even while pursuing another career, Kelly was pulled into makeup artistry. It wasn't until she immersed herself in New York's pro makeup community, that Kelly decided to take a leap of faith and become a makeup artist.  

Today Kelly is “making it at home” as she calls it, working in the areas of beauty, fashion, and television. Her clean beauty makeup, attention to detail and work ethic has led her to work alongside artists such as Dick Page, James Vincent, Bethany Townes and Vincent Oquendo, and work for one of the most iconic brands in the world, Pat McGrath Labs. A lover of her makeup community, she also worked in event production and artist relations for The Powder Group. She holds a B.A. in Psychology and speaks fluent Spanish. Kelly also offers hair styling upon request.
