Briana is currently based in Los Angeles. However, she was born
and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has always been involved
in art one way or another. For high school, Briana attended the
Las Vegas Academy of Visual and Performing Arts and
International Studies where she studied visual art for three years,
including painting, airbrushing, photography and graphic design
among other things. She also attended cosmetology school during
high school where she focused on hair styling.
Briana loved art but thought of it as more of a hobby than a
career. So for college, she enrolled in the University of Nevada
Las Vegas as a Business Major while she worked as a makeup
artist at a retail cosmetic counter. Once she started taking her
business classes, Briana was miserable and realized it was
because she wasn't doing something creative. She re-evaluated
her goals and tried to figure out what she wanted to do for a
career when, all of a sudden, it hit her...she was already doing
it - MAKEUP! She had been doing makeup for years and finally
realized how passionate she had become about it. She decided
right then and there that she wanted to pursue an artistic career in makeup!
Biography
ABOUT
But Briana didn't want to limit her talents to just makeup and hair. So she changed her major and began studying photography, which quickly became her other passion. Soon after graduating from UNLV with a Bachelor's Degree in Photography and Marketing, Briana quit her job in retail cosmetics to pursue makeup, hair and photography full-time. She now works for herself as an independent makeup artist, hair stylist and photographer, and she couldn't be happier! Briana recently relocated to Los Angeles, California where she services the Southern California, including (but not limited to) the Los Angeles, Southbay and Orange County areas. However, she still visits Las Vegas frequently and is willing to travel there (or anywhere else) for work.
