From her childhood, two things were obvious for Alice Atakanian: she loved makeup and she was destined for greatness. Alice began her formal makeup training in 1997 with David Allen Dittmer, a giant in the industry with more than 27 years in front of the make up chair for the Television and Motion Picture Industry and Dina Ousley, an actress turned Hollywood makeup artist. During this time, it was Alice’s passion, work ethic, instinct for the art and constant need to challenge herself that set her apart and earned her one-on-one-training opportunities rarely found in the commercial Beauty Industry.
