Small City Girl With Big Dreams

PorctiaSymone was born on May 4, 1986 in St. Mary's Georgia and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. As a toddler, Porctia grew watching her mother (who is also a make-up artist) apply make up daily; "Ill do it mommy" she would say as a little girl. Throughout the course of her life she's ventured into different work industries, but always finding herself immersed in a world of beauty and fashion.

At 23 she realized her talent doing make-up. As she mastered the skills and expertise of the craft, she understood how important beauty, fashion, and photography go hand in hand; creating a couture elegance and flawess finish.
she's worked with local photographers such as Edzer Antonie, Wilfredo Montalvo, Jay Sergeant, and Johnell Brewington. Creating innovative looks for photo shoots, fashion shows, hair shows and more is what she thrives on. She's Currently Freelancing for MAC Cosmetics, where she's able to show her personality through her work and gain the knowledge necessary to keep her at the top of her game in the profession of make up.
