Colleen Gagnon grew up in North Alabama fascinated by the many colors gracing the faces of women everywhere. She would spend hours online researching different tips, tricks, and techniques from artists everywhere. She idolized celebrity make-up artists like Scott Barnes, Ve Neil, Alex Box, Kevin Accoin, Tom Pecheux, and many more.

During September of 2010, Colleen traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to attend a weekend seminar by Ryder Make-up Labs taught by James Ryder. Soon after, Colleen craved more and more make-up artistry techniques. She began to heavily research different make-up schools throughout the country and found the perfect school located in Central Florida.

Immediately following her college graduation, Colleen moved to Orlando, Florida to persue her professional make-up career. She attended the Joe Blasco Make-up Artist Training Center East and graduated in October of 2011. Colleen now lives in Huntsville, Alabama. She works throughout Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia.
