Hello, My name is Kelly Mari. I’m an experienced Makeup Artist and lover of cinema from Toronto, Ontario. Film has been my love ever since I was a little girl and it has been my dream to work in the film and Television industry as well as in fashion/editorial work. I graduated from Body Pro Beauty & Aesthetics in 2017 and am self taught in basic SPFX makeup.
“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”
-Judy Garland
