"She shares our desire to help women around the world embrace what makes them unique and to offer an authentic, relatable approach to beauty."
In this newly created position, Restrepo will serve as a spokesperson, brand ambassador and creative advisor working closely with the brand on everything from trend forecasting to beauty consultant training. As the company's lead makeup artist, Restrepo also will work on photo shoots, film makeup tutorials and share expert advice with consumers through Elizabeth Arden's social media channels and on-counter tools.
In addition to supporting the brand's core beliefs, Elizabeth Arden searched for a makeup artist who could help them inspire, educate and connect their global community. Restrepo, who is bilingual in English and Spanish, has traveled the world seeking new trends and inspiration.
