I'm Keila.
I've been working in the beauty industry for 16+ years, with my journey starting at one of the best makeup artistry schools in the country. While living in New York City and Cambridge, Massachusetts; I've been able to expand my life + career. Such as: pro makeup artist, esthetician, skincare consultant + expert; educator, entrepreneur, and also launched my own lipgloss + lipstick collection in 2015.
I worked and studied in the concrete jungle for two years. I built a solid foundation through; freelance work and expanding my experience in the beauty industry.
Since I was a child, I always loved playing with my mother's makeup. I had a pink Caboodle, with a few Bonne Belle chapsticks. My beautiful Mommy, instilled a lot of inspiration in me.
"I remember so many times, my mother and I would go to a local convenience store, and she always knew that I would go straight for the cosmetics aisle. I was so fascinated by all the colors, the pretty packaging and there were so many brands."
I would get so excited when I would watch my mom put on makeup. I was probably around 11 years old, and I would sneak into her makeup (while she was out running errands). Timing it perfectly so she wouldn’t know. Eventually she found out!
