Ava Rucci has been developing her craft as a makeup artist since middle school, fueled by a simple, deep-seated desire to help people express who they are and feel seen and confident. What began years ago as experimenting with color and styling friends has grown into a lifelong professional pursuit.
A 2025 graduate of the College of Charleston, Ava advanced her technical expertise with intensive professional training at The Makeup Academy in NYC, specializing in both Master Media Artistry and Special Effects.
Based in Connecticut and servicing the New York tri-state area, Ava is fully equipped with a professional, mobile production kit. She is available for freelance booking across beauty, editorial, commercial, and narrative film/TV productions.
