ABOUT
Marsha Page, aka, The Melanin Therapist, is a New York Emmy nominated, makeup artist and licensed esthetician, with experience in film, television, editorial, theater, special effects, bridal and fashion.
She discovered her passion for make-up artistry in the late 1990's. As a recent college grad, pursuing a career in the legal industry, her passion came to light when she was looking for ways to mask her recent weight gain. She began to use make-up as a way to empower herself and take the focus off her body and direct it to enhancing the features of her face. Prior to that, she had only filled in her brows with eyebrow pencil, put on eyeliner, and applied lip balm. While exploring and researching various makeup product lines, and experimenting daily, she discovered her talent for makeup application, despite the fact that she had no formal training at the time.
After training at the prestigious Christine Valmy International School of Esthetics and Cosmetology in New York City, Marsha began her love affair with make-up artistry working for industry leader, M.A.C. Cosmetics.
