About The Artist
My name is Rachel Mapa
I’m a travel freelance makeup artist based in San Antonio, Texas, with a passion for makeup that began at an early age. Starting in middle school, I would have family and friends ask me to help them with their makeup. After high school, I earned a B.S. in Public Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio, with concentrations in epidemiology and pre-medicine.
In May 2022, I made the bold decision to pursue makeup artistry full-time. Within a year, I had the opportunity to work on runway shows, a music video shoot, and collaborate with models, designers, and photographers.
My background in public health and the medical field has instilled in me a strong commitment to maintaining the highest sanitary protocols to ensure safe, hygienic makeup application. I prioritize my clients' health and well-being while delivering high-quality makeup services to help them look and feel their best.
In addition to my makeup career, I’m currently a dental hygiene student at UT Health San Antonio and plan to balance both careers after graduation, combining my passion for beauty with my commitment to health and wellness.
