Meet The Artist

Hey beauties!

I’m Julianna Deanda, a passionate, licensed cosmetologist with over seven amazing years in the industry, specializing in bridal hair and makeup. Ever since I was a kid, I knew I was meant to be some sort of artist. I started out painting, but my love for creativity quickly found its home in beauty. In high school, I was the go-to girl for hair and makeup, and I absolutely loved helping my friends and family feel their best.

After graduating, I decided to go all in—I packed up and moved to Los Angeles to chase my dream of becoming a professional hair and makeup artist. I earned my Cosmetology certificate from Paul Mitchell in 2017, got licensed in 2018, and from there everything took off!

While in LA, I scored a dream job at a hair and makeup studio that catered to celebrity clients. My work ended up on red carpets at the Emmys, the Pretty Little Liars premiere, and even on shows like Basketball Wives and in the DontCallMeMommy commercial. I quickly became the studio’s most requested artist—known not just for my ability to enhance natural beauty, but also for my deep knowledge of products and cosmetic science.

After several unforgettable years in LA, I moved to Portland, Oregon, and officially launched my own business: MkupByJuju LLC! Since then, I’ve had the absolute honor of working with over 800 incredible brides, and I’ve teamed up with top-tier photographers and agencies to produce stunning content for both social media and ad campaigns.

At MkupByJuju, we’re all about creating luxury beauty experiences right where you are—and yes, we travel NATIONWIDE! I’m so passionate about what I do, but even more than that, I value the real, personal connections I get to make with every person who sits in my chair.

Thank you so much for being here and getting to know a bit more about my journey. I can’t wait to meet you and bring your beauty vision to life!

With love,

Julianna Deanda

Founder & Lead Artist of MkupByJuju LLC
