ABOUT ANGEL MERINO

Celebrity makeup artist renowned for a portfolio of clientele that includes Ariana Grande , Toni Braxton , Chanel Iman , and numerous others. His success as both artist and entrepreneur has spawned the cosmetics line Artist Couture.

After working several years as a dance instructor, often doing the makeup of dance competitors, he turned to doing it professionally. By 2010, he'd earned his first job with a major makeup brand.

He offers online professional makeup classes through the website AngelMerinoLive.com.

His parents are both Salvadorean and initially believed his path as a makeup artist was unrealistic.

He earned his first celebrity client, Christina Milian , after introducing himself to her at BeautyCon and not long after securing a job with her at an HGTV shoot.
