Anna Branson’s passion for makeup began in her teenage years, driven by her love of making people look and feel beautiful. While pursuing a Fine Art degree (with a minor in Spanish) at East Carolina University in North Carolina, she was inspired to turn her love for makeup into a full-time career.

After college, Anna began working for Estée Lauder before moving to Los Angeles to refine her craft at the MakeUp Designory. Over the past 25 years, she has built an impressive career working with top fashion and commercial advertising clients, magazines, celebrities, and musicians.

She has lived and worked in both Los Angeles, CA and Nashville, TN, although her clientele have brought her all over the world shooting in London, Paris, Bosnia, Croatia, and Dubai.

Anna has served as a Brand Ambassador for Ellis Faas and was the Beauty Editor of Darling magazine.

In 2023 Anna made Oaxaca her home, drawn by its rich culture, natural beauty, and artisan textiles. She spends her free time exploring the region, immersing herself in local traditions, handcrafts, and folk art.

An art lover and fitness enthusiast, she enjoys visiting galleries, creating fine art, playing Pádel, and staying active at the gym.

Anna’s makeup philosophy is simple: Do what makes you feel good - confidence is beauty.

“I love symmetry; it’s very calming to me - whether in nature, art, or the face.”
