Allan Aponte

Celebrity Makeup Artist

Allan Aponte, was a gifted artist from a young age. At art school his painting classes gave him ample time to perfect the makeup on the women he painted and he has translated this fine art talent to the benefit of his loyal client following. His master of artistry and ability to understand the subtle nuances of a woman’s face, have made him a fast rising star in the beauty industry.  

New York’s top socialites count on Allan’s skills before important gala events and editors of major beauty magazines use him as a resource for product news and trend input. His work experience, which spans from television and film sets to global pageant competitions, have made Allan especially adept at putting all of his clients instantly at ease.

Allan believes the purpose of makeup is to help a woman look approachable, even kissable and this is how he successfully strikes a balance in creating flawless looks that are both touchable and powerful. As an artist he aims to help women amplify their own individual beauty through detailed customization, there is no ‘one size fits all’ beauty stamp in his repertoire. He is constantly inspired by the power of the right lipstick shade and a beautiful supple skin to instantly change a woman’s entire mood.  

After a session with Allan all of his clients truly understand his ultimate beauty tenet, which hinges on his ability to use makeup as an enhancement and not a cover up: “It’s not about how beautiful your makeup is, it’s about how beautiful you look.”
