My name is Melissa Bolive. I was born in Haiti and came to America when I was young. I am a self-taught makeup artist. I got a job at Kiko Milano when I was 18 and there is where I started to teach myself makeup and started to work on my artistry. By the age of 22, I was able to freelance full time. 

I started off taking regular makeup appointments. Then I branched off to doing classes. One on one’s as well as group masterclasses. In 2020 I was able to have my first ever USA Masterclass tour!

Since then, I have worked with different people such as social media influencer Alexis Sky, celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble, R&B songstress Lil Mo, Hood Celebrityy, Jesseca Dupart (@darealbbjudy): CEO and founder of Kaleidoscope hair products, and Cashmere Nicole: CEO and founder of Beauty Bakerie cosmetics.

Being a makeup artist has opened so many doors for me. To be in a position to meet so many people, to transform faces, and seeing the confidence it gives them is an amazing feeling. I cannot wait to see how much further my artistry takes me.
