Ako Artistry
When we work together you'll collaborate with someone who's truly passionate about beauty and who has a wealth of experience working in the beauty industry. Over the course of my career, I've worked for major cosmetic companies, provided makeup services for photographers and magazines, and provided makeup for a variety of special events from proms to weddings.

As your makeup artist, my goal is to capture the perfect makeup look through my own knowledge of the products I use and through the sheer creativity that comes from the makeup application process itself. My beauty secret weapons include Mac, Dior, Laura Mercier, and of course airbrush foundation. Whether it's a fashion editorial shoot or you're having your makeup done for a special event, the transformation is fun, exciting, and unforgettable.
Services
Anna is a professional makeup artist with over 12 years of experience. From a very early age, Anna has had a fascination and passion for the industry. At the start of her career, she worked behind the counters for Mac, Nars, Dior and Laura Mercier learning the product behind the art, where she received training and certification from the leading beauty brands.
Having your makeup done professionally will make your day extra special. Whether it's your prom, formal event, graduation or you have a big night out. I'm available to assist you with any type of event. I have the knowledge and experience to highlight your natural beauty using high quality and long lasting products.
In preparation for your special day, it's normal to demand perfection. You want everything to go hitch-free, you want a day so beautiful that its memories are carved into yours and people's minds for a long time. As a result of this and the building anticipation towards that day, too many brides end up worried about how every plan can be executed perfectly.
At your consultation, you'll discuss your goal and ideas with Anna (You're welcome to share any inspiration photos too!) This will help you and Anna get on the same page about your editorial or event makeup look. If you live in the New York City area or the New Jersey Shore area, Anna will travel to you.

Absolutely love Anna! She did an amazing job! I am very self conscious and hard on myself about my face and how I look but I truly felt amazing. I have already booked her 2 more times!

Makeup Artist.
Anna the miracle worker. I am 60 and her artistry has taken my sometimes tired looking, baggy-eyed face to refreshed and beautiful. I had many compliments on my smokey eyes. My complexion looked flawless.
I also took lessons and she is thorough and patient. My everyday look has greatly improved with her makeup application process and recommended products.
Highly recommend as a makeup artist and instructor.

Anna did a full makeup application on me for a business event. Her work was one of the best I’ve seen. Very knowledgeable, professional and a wonderful person! I would highly recommend for business and event full make up applications!

Ana came to my home and did my makeup this past Friday for a wedding I was going to. I needed it to last all day and into the night. She did an amazing job!!! She is a true professional. Ana knew exactly how to do my makeup and also what would look best on me. It was perfect! Needless to say I loved the way it looked so much that I did not want to have to take it off. I highly recommend Ana, and I look forward to being able to hire her again 😊

Anna With AKO Artistry did my makeup for a Wedding I had to go to. She was so pleasant, and did an Amazing Job on my Makeup. I was so pleased, and could not have been happier,with how beautiful it turned out. I will definitely have her do my makeup in the future. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed also. Such a nice lady.

Anna was a true professional and did a great job with the makeup for my bridal party and me! I did a trial with her and she gave some suggestions for skincare. She listened to my feedback and did a beautiful job on my makeup the day of the wedding. Since most and my bridesmaids and I go for a more natural look and rarely wear makeup but one wanted a more dramatic look, Anna showed her fantastic range and artistry. She was on time, very responsive, easy to talk to, and talented.

Anna is a amazing makeup artist! She was professional and on time. She traveled to my
home on Halloween night to make my experience more convenient. She brought a professional makeup chair, a ring light and her high quality makeup products. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she was able to provide me with the desired look and then some! Would definitely recommend and use her again for any makeup look :)
