Angela Levin lives a makeup artist’s dream. This remarkable woman went from being virtually unknown to becoming one of the most sought-after artists in Hollywood in little over a year. Her impressive industry connections, technical brilliance, and uplifting personality have enlightened the entire beauty industry.
Raised in Florence, Italy and fluent in five languages, Angela moved to Los Angeles to study at the Elegance International Academy of Beauty and apprenticed with the renowned Burman Studios. She began her career in special effects makeup, which led to heading the makeup department on numerous feature films, where she met her two most loyal clients, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston. These strong relationships helped bring Angela's gifts from behind the movie screen to Fashion and the red carpet.
Angela is known for creating luminescent, glamorous looks with minimal makeup; the result is always a flawless, radiant face. Her work has an ethereal quality – delicate, light and highly refined. This vanguard technique evolved from Angela’s experience in special effects, as well as her intuitive experimentation with color and texture. Her striking work has caught the attention of publicists, directors, and well-known photographers such as Peter Lindbergh, Cliff Watts, James White, and Peggy Sirota.
Angela’s A-list clientele includes Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Williams, Megan Fox, Kate Hudson, Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon and Marion Cotillard.
