About me
My name is Manuela Franco, and this is where my journey begins…
My love for makeup began with my grandmother. She was always effortlessly elegant, and I admired how she carried herself with quiet confidence. When I first started experimenting with makeup, my grandfather would encourage me to keep going, he’d say I looked stunning. That support lit the spark that would become my lifelong passion.
Over the years, I’ve honed my craft through masterclasses with renowned artists like Helder Marucci, Alessandro Alcantara, and Michelly Palma, and deepened my training at Diana Henao’s Colombian Makeup School. For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible talents including Maluma, J Balvin, Feid, Jay Wheeler, and Zhamira Zambrano and I currently collaborate with Telemundo in many different productions.
But what truly defines my work is not the names I’ve worked with, it’s the belief that makeup should never mask who you are. I specialize in natural skin-enhancing looks that let your individuality take center stage. My goal is always to create a space that feels comfortable and collaborative, where each client feels seen, confident, and like the best version of themselves.
To me makeup is not transformation it’s amplification. And I’m here for the kind that feels real.
Your Smile Will Always Be Your Best Makeup
