Award winning, internationally published and founder of MMC Makeup Artists, Maris Malone Calderon is a highly respected and well recognized makeup artist whose style and approach emphasizes the natural beauty in every face with artfully crafted makeup styles from naturally stunning bridal to dramatically captivating editorial.
My love of makeup started, as with many young girls, by playing in my mothers makeup. I was also a lover of drawing, so it was no big surprise when I choose makeup artistry as a career. Since my mother was an intricate part of my choice, I’m sorry that she passed away before she could see me become the artist and entrepreneur I am today. I will be forever thankful for her support.
For me, beauty is something that can always be found each individual face. My style reflects this view because I don’t try to change natural features, just enhance them. I also recognize that each of my clients has a unique and personal style and the makeup should reflect that.
Makeup artistry is an ever changing industry so I am always challenging myself with new techniques and keeping up with the latest trends and innovations. However, my approach to makeup is always stunning, flawless, yet achievable beauty.
