About Chelsea

Chelsea has always considered herself a good balance between the artistic and technical. While attending college in pursuit of a journalism degree (and with much encouragement from dear supporters), she decided to also attend Empire Academy of Makeup (2012-2014) to learn the science of skin and makeup. She has over 400 hours of advanced training in skincare, color theory, special fx makeup, and specialized makeup artistry training for print, runway, bridal, t.v., and film— and over 10 years plus working in the industry as a pro artist.

She founded CSquared Beauty, a mobile beauty business offering elevated beauty services for all people and occasions. Over the years, Chelsea has done branding for corporate clients and teams (including Forbes) and advertising for magazines, television and print ads (including a billboard in Times Square). She has done freelance work for fashion shows, high-profile designers, clothing brands, product and jewelry manufacturers, modeling agencies, international models, actors, music artists, pageant winners, cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies, celebrity fitness gurus, cinematographers, photographers, stylists, authors, and event speakers. She also enjoys donating her skills to humanitarian work, fundraisers, and charities.
