Makeup & Hair Workshop
Featuring Anna Milhouse
Meet Anna Milhouse, a seasoned professional in the world of beauty and a true magician with hair and makeup. From a young age, Anna's artistic journey began when, at the tender age of two, she was found cutting her hair and applying mascara after escaping her crib. Little did anyone know that this early passion would evolve into a remarkable career.
Anna officially stepped into the beauty industry at the age of 17, and since then, she has traversed nearly every facet of hair and makeup. Currently, she is a proud member of the film and TV union in Los Angeles, where she dedicates most of her professional time to creating stunning looks for television, print, private clients, award shows, and renowned brands.
One of Anna's standout accomplishments includes contributing her artistic touch to Marvel film sets, a testament to her skill and creativity in a demanding industry. Her expertise extends beyond the screen, having been featured in the prestigious pages of Vogue, showcasing her talent on a global platform.
What sets Anna apart is not just her technical skill but her unique approach to beauty. Every day, she brings a touch of magic to her work, using one-on-one interactions to remind each person of their innate beauty and the powerful impact it holds. Anna is not just a hair and makeup artist; she's a confidence booster, helping individuals embrace their unique charm.
Driven by her own experiences, Anna is passionate about mentorship. Having struggled to find guidance in her youth, she is committed to providing support to those aspiring to enter the beauty industry. Anna willingly shares her knowledge, answering questions, and even teaching classes. In her belief, there's room for everyone in this industry, and she's determined to pave the way for the next generation of beauty enthusiasts.
Anna Milhouse's journey is not just about transforming appearances; it's about unveiling the magic within each person and empowering them to recognize the strength of their own beauty
