“Andrea C. Samuels is an award-winning makeup artist, hair stylist and beauty educator who excels in fashion, media and editorial projects nationally and internationally.”

Art is the paramount influence in Andrea C. Samuels’ life and work. She began her creative career drawing and sketching people at the age of two, eventually enrolling in art college courses in The School of The Art Institute at age nine. At the age of eighteen in 2002, a pivotal moment occurred: Andrea’s passion for art merged into makeup when experimenting with senior prom beauty looks. In 2009, Andrea Samuels graduated from Make Up First LLC and obtained her IL State Certification for Makeup Artistry. Between 2013 through today, Andrea has assisted some of the industry's top makeup artists such as Sir John, Ashunta Sheriff, DeShawn Hatcher, Gucci Westman, Saisha Beecham and the late AJ Crimson. Andrea is the first makeup finalist for the Fall 2015 "VFiles Made Fashion" Show at New York Fashion Week and was the Key Artist for four runway designers sponsored by V Magazine. In 2020, Andrea ventured into hairstyling to add to her arsenal of skills and completed her Cosmetology License at Paul Mitchell The School in Sherman Oaks, CA. Andrea's work can be found with clients such as Nike, Versace, Nickelodeon, Target, Hall of Fame Recipient Dwyane Wade and the King of the Westcoast: Snoop Dogg. Andrea is currently represented by Cloutier Remix and based in Los Angeles, CA.
