ERIKA MAGALLANES KIKA

My name is Erika and I have been a makeup artist since 2002. I believe I’m a RAW artist because my skills are developed by imagination and experience. My passion for makeup developed after I received my esthetician license. I was convinced makeup was my true passion. Most of my experience comes from bridal makeup, high fashion and glamour photo shoots. The world of makeup also got me involved in the culture side of Day of the dead face painting. I’ve been doing this for the past 5 years and known as one of the go to girls for dia de los muertos face painting. This has also given me the opportunity to work alongside talented face painters, hairstylist, graphic designers and fashion designers. I also was the founder of DROP DEAD GORGEOUS Artist team in 2009.
