Maureen Posadas
Certified Makeup Artist, Aesthetician, Licensed Hairstylist
Maureen Posadas is a makeup and hair artist based in Toronto. She attended Marvel - School of Makeup Art for makeup where she also learned a few weeks of styling hair. She then took aesthetics to learn more about the skin and worked in a spa for a few years doing makeup, facials (microdermabrasion, chemical peels, etc.) and waxing. Feeling the need to learn more about hair while doing clients, she decided to take hairstyling at Marca college where she learned women's and men's cut and color graduating with Overall Excellence Award. She then started exploring wigs, took some wig making classes then ended up in film where she found her mentor, Cindy Lou Tache. Maureen is always looking for ways to improve her skills; taking classes when she can, competing in competitions like Allied Beauty Beauty Association, and assisting to learn new techniques, products and latest trends to bring vision to life.
