About
From the moment I started doing makeup, I saw how powerful it is—how the right look can transform confidence and capture someone’s unique beauty.
Trained at KRYOLAN Academy, I’ve deepened my skills in both creative beauty and fashion makeup, as well as the technical side of color, skin tones, and detail work. Traveling the world as a freelance makeup artist has broadened my creativity and my understanding of cultural influence and diversity in beauty.
With nearly two decades of experience, I have specialized in wedding and event makeup, hair styling, fashion, and video and film production, including detailed prosthetic makeup, fashion, and bridal work across various regions. This background enables me to craft looks that are trendy and modern, with an understanding of technical aspects of makeup for film and video prosthetics, ensuring styles are personalized and culturally suitable for brides.
If you’re planning a wedding or a special event,I’d love to talk about the look you’re dreaming of and how we can bring it to life.

Anna is wonderful! Excellent at her profession and so kind. Conversation was enjoyable. I will definitely have her do my hair and makeup again when I’m in L.A.

The whole process with Thumbtack was relatively easy, with quick listing of potential businesses providing my desired services...From that list I asked questions of each and determined that Annaliza of MakeYourselfUp Beauty was the best choice both by skill set and cost...I needed a Saturday Night Live type makeup transformation of myself into the chosen look for my Neil Diamond impersonation show...She spent a good part of the day showing my wife and I how to do the makeup and hair and we had a fun photo shoot to wrap up the session...She was very nice and patient thru the whole process and with follow up questions since...Thanks Again Annaliza!!!

I booked Annaliza for my vow renewal hair and makeup after chatting with several artists on vatious sites. I needed someone who could do both hair and makeup, and her affordable rates plus her experience with natural glam stood out.
My hair and makeup turned out beautifully and my makeup lasted perfectly through the entire night. Annaliza was easy to work with and made the getting ready process feel relaxed.
The only small downside was that she arrived a bit later than scheduled, which cut slightly into our photography time. But overall, I was extremely happy with her work and would recommend her to anyone looking for a natural, polished look.

Annaliza was great to work with. She helped me with a birthday photoshoot and gave me a soft glam look that still managed to look like me (my personal pet peeve is when makeup artists put on so much makeup that it ends up not feeling good in the end). If ever I need hair and makeup done again, I know who to book. Thanks Annaliza!
