Born and raised in Portland, OR, Lydia developed a passion for makeup during high school, where she was first captivated by the art of transformation and creative expression. After high school, Lydia pursued a degree in graphic design and art practice, believing it was the path to channel her artistic vision. However, it was during this time that she realized that makeup was the true medium that sparked her creativity and passion.

In March 2024, Lydia made the bold decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a professional makeup artist. She enrolled to study at Make-up Designory and graduated from the Master Program in April 2025, where she honed her skills and refined her approach to makeup artistry.

Today, Lydia specializes in vibrant, bold color palettes and creative, boundary-pushing designs. Focused on both film and editorial makeup, she is  committed to bringing imaginative and striking looks to life, whether on set or behind the scenes of a high-fashion shoot. With a passion for artistic expression, Lydia is excited to continue growing and exploring new opportunities in the beauty and entertainment industry.
