about Carolyn Diamond

Hot List
As the daughter of an accomplished artist I learned early on to appreciate the beauty of fine art and music. I was able to develop this appreciation as a young adult through photography, sketching and watercolor.
My love of art has beautifully and naturally transitioned to the art of professional make up application, which I have been practicing for more than 20 years. I have been trained by internationally renowned make up artists and continually strive to expand my skills and knowledge through, education, travel, and hands on experience.
Additionally, my training as a professional photographer allows me to specialize in the art of photography make up. I understand how to make my clients camera-ready, ultimately producing more flattering and natural-looking results. Browse through the gallery and photo gallery.
