The Meraki Makeup Artist Retreat is for makeup artists who want to excel and elevate their careers in the beauty industry.
Curated by a powerhouse veteran in the makeup industry, Nyssa Green, this retreat draws upon her years of working as a TV consultant, educator, and Emmy Award-winning makeup artist.
At this once-in-a-lifetime retreat experience, you'll get beyond the gatekeeping and leave better equipped to get the clients and rates that you desire, all while networking and connecting with other like-minded fellow artists.
Set in the breathtaking scenery of Pursell Farms, Nyssa will paint the vision of what it takes to succeed as a full-time makeup artist. She will share her secrets in both practical and hands-on settings, from a unique perspective as a well-respected, household name in Atlanta, and beyond. As an added bonus...celebrity makeup artist D'Andre Michael will be our honorary special guest for an exclusive demo session!

Message From The Host
Meraki means to do something with a deep love, creativity and soul....and those are the artists that this retreat is created for.
I have a deep passion to help makeup artists that have grit, passion and elevate in their careers.
Whether it be weddings, magazines or on set, you'll leave better equipped to get the clients and rates that you want and deserve.
In addition to hands on work, we'll cover the real stuff like rates, marketing, networking and assisting.
This is a space to connect with fellow artists that share similar challenges, interests and goals all while learning together.
See you this November!
