Carolina Banegas has built her reputation on the belief that beautiful makeup should never hide the person wearing it. The Miami-based artist has worked with some of the most recognizable faces in fashion and entertainment, including Antonela Roccuzzo, Nicola Peltz Beckham, and Karolina Kurková. Her signature is a fresh, radiant complexion, achieved with a careful eye for detail and an understanding of what makes each face unique.
Before entering the beauty industry, Carolina studied fine art at Florida International University, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her education gave her an appreciation for color, light, and composition that would later become central to her work. She began her career at Estée Lauder in 2011 and went on to work with Tom Ford Beauty, Laura Mercier and Chanel, refining her skills and discovering the techniques that suited her artistic vision.

Carolina first did her makeup for a Tiffany & Co. event in Mexico City in 2023, and their collaboration has since extended to several major magazine covers. For these shoots, she captured a subtle, luminous look that complements Antonela’s natural features.
Beyond her celebrity clientele, Carolina has contributed to advertising campaigns for Gucci, Lancôme, Tiffany & Co., Massimo Dutti, Adidas, Alo and Spotify. Her roster also includes Victoria and David Beckham. Represented by Peechy Group, she runs her own business, taking on projects around the world.

As her international portfolio grows and her collaborations with leading fashion houses continue, Carolina is establishing herself as a distinctive voice in the beauty industry. Her success reflects an artistic vision that doesn’t rely on dramatic transformations. Sometimes, the most memorable makeup is the kind that lets a person’s natural beauty shine through.
