Beauty – Washington, D.C.

I am Annyi Melissa, a visual storyteller. I tell stories through art. Whether it be through makeup or graphic design, my goal is to empower the community through creativity, beauty, self-love, + expression. I began doing makeup in high school. I continued to play in makeup and eventually my skills became more advanced. I do makeup because I love making others feel great about themselves. It is also very therapeutical for me as I focus on my canvas and let the magic happen. I have built a platform on Instagram and YouTube where I share my makeup, fashion style, and graphic design art to influence others to explore their own creativity. My platform showcases the beautiful stories I've created by using a range of tools varying from makeup brushes to digital software. Today, I'm here to showcase my art through makeup and show the art behind beauty.
