Eliven’s eye for detail and love for beauty began at an early age. Growing up alongside her mother, a professional hairstylist, she was immersed in the world of beauty from the start. This early exposure inspired her to attend fashion school, where she cultivated a deep passion for art and design, ultimately leading her to a career in makeup artistry and male grooming.
Eliven began her professional journey in cosmetics as a brand ambassador for luxury brands including Laura Mercier and Christian Dior. Her foundation in retail allowed her to work with a wide range of skin tones, ages, and beauty needs, shaping her inclusive and refined approach. She later transitioned into celebrity and fashion work, where her artistry quickly gained recognition.
Today, Eliven’s clientele includes Amanda Gorman, Ella Mai, Kyla Pratt, Donald Glover, Jeffrey Wright, Tierra Whack, Leslie Odom Jr, Black Coffee, Kendrick Sampson, Keith Powers, Melvin Gregg, Dj Mustard. She has also collaborated with brands such as Essentials Fear of God, Malbon Golf, New Balance, Vans, and SKKN By Kim. Her work has been featured in leading publications including GQ, Vogue, L’Officiel, Complex, Galore, TIME, Paper Magazine, I-D, Schon!, Essence, and Mens Health.
Eliven continues to collaborate with celebrity and fashion brands, creating elevated makeup and male grooming looks that feel timeless. Known for her calm presence and genuine spirit, she creates an experience where clients feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
