Riviera DeCordova is a multifaceted hair artist, with many accolades to her name. In the past 17 years she has worked for Yellow Strawberry, the Broward Opera House, Glamour Shots, and most recently with Regis hair salon as the top up-do stylist for the past 10 years. Her work has been published in City Link Magazine, Varla Magazine, Car Kulture Delux, Antikulture Magazine, Inspire and The Bride , and in Regis magazine as the only South Florida hair stylist for making unforgettable up-dos in the December 2001/January 2002 issues.
Her work has also been seen on Channel 7 News Style Watch, Deco Drive and Univision’s Despierta America. Since becoming self-employed, Riviera has opened her own salon and has poured her heart into her bridal company, Artistic Impressions By Riviera. Nevertheless, it is the Golden Era of Hollywood that remains Riviera’s biggest inspiration. She will bring out the inner pin up girl in us all in 20 minutes or less. From the decadent finger waves of the 1920s to the bedroom curls of the 1950s, Riviera will effortlesly turn back the hands of time to an era when women were glamourpusses & romance was queen.

Experience- I've worked with many amazing musical Artists and performers and designers such as Alicia Keyes, Fergie and the Black-eyed Peas, Lee Ann Womack, Steven Tyler and Aerosmith, Cirque du Soleil performers; and designers such as Jason Wu, Jeremy Scott, Diesel, Douglas Hannant, Heatherette, Apple Bottom, Baby Phat, Betsy Johnson, Vivienne Westwood, Oscar de la Renta and participated in New York Fashion week.
On the Art of Makeup- Makeup is an extension of one's creativity and passion for what they do. I believe that makeup is just the subtle harmony and enhancement of one's natural beauty...whether it be makeup styles from the vintage classics or "red carpet" glamour, there are no rules or boundaries, just endless possibilities. |

A Texas fashion designer who wanted to do it all, moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to become Hollywood-trained in makeup and hair.
Angel Jagger is now the go-to girl for pin-up hair and makeup. She has always admired the classic styles of the1930s thru 1960s. She has found her niche within the makeup industry and became the artist of choice for retro-styled magazine spreads and portraits.
For Angel, the best part about being a makeup artist is the reaction of her clients.
The big smile at the end is her version of job satisfaction. As glamorous as it is, being a makeup artist is also hard work. She says one of the things that has made her successful is having the right attitude. "Being positive has taken me further than anything else." |

has been a makeup artist all her life, bringing out the beauty within of the people she found inspiring. Whether in a cold basement of a New Jersey two-family house with her Barbie dolls as a child, or in her friends' most celebrated moments in adulthood, Virginia has always expressed herself in color. She derives much of her aesthetic from her love, respect, and exposure to opera, theater, and cinema throughout her youth. By combining these forms of art and transforming 'moments' in them with her makeup tools, she has finally found her creative expression.
Virginia is fully self-trained and based out of Miami, FL. She has nine years of makeup experience in print, television, HD video, web, theater, and film. Her background includes seven years as a freelance makeup artist, a Bachelor of Science in Motion Picture Production and Art Photography from the University of Miami, plus six years as a top performer and Senior Product Specialist for M.A.C. |
