Desiree Ellis Professional Makeup Artist
Empowering confidence through makeup—and beyond
Hi, I’m Desiree Ellis, a professional makeup artist serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. I’ve always been passionate about transformation—helping people feel radiant, confident, and truly themselves.
With over 12 years of experience in the film and television industry, I’ve had the privilege of creating looks for major cast members across numerous productions. While I’ve loved the fast-paced world of on-screen makeup, my true passion lies beyond the screen—helping individuals feel the same inner glow and self-assurance that makeup can inspire.
Before becoming a makeup artist, I spent over 20 years as a personal trainer, guiding people through their own transformations. It showed me that real beauty comes from feeling strong, confident, and comfortable in your own skin. Makeup became a natural extension of that journey—a way to elevate not just how we look, but how we feel.
Today, I specialize in services designed to empower women in both their professional and personal lives. My approach goes beyond the brush—it’s about presence, connection, and helping you step into your full self with confidence. Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight, walking down the aisle, or redefining your personal brand, I create looks that embody poise, beauty, and the essence of You.
