Rochelle Rae is an artist of many mediums. With a degree in fine arts and experience as a painter and graphic designer, she ventured into a new world of art when she launched her Austin business Rae Cosmetics in August of 2006.
After meeting a friend who worked as a makeup artist, Rae’s interest in cosmetics ultimately led her to the prestigious Make-up Designory in Hollywood. There, Rae swapped her paintbrushes for makeup brushes and embraced a new canvas: a human one.
