INNOVATOR, SELF FUNDED FEMALE FOUNDER & PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST 

Rea Ann Silva's experience spans a nearly 30-year journey as one of the most sought-after Hollywood makeup artists in the industry. As the creative force behind Beautyblender, she single-handedly changed the beauty game. 

The Beautyblender concept came to Rea Ann while she was the Department Head of one of the first TV shows shot in hi-definition. Rea Ann handled the constant touch-ups with her hand-cut, edgeless sponges to mimic the seamless look of airbrushing. Soon, every celebrity that sat in Rea Ann's chair wanted their own hand-cut sponge; thus creating the original edgeless sponge.  Beautyblender quickly became the secret on set that had every pro talking. 

Today, the category-creator holds countless beauty awards and is beloved by both makeup aficionados and newbies as the go-to tool for achieving a perfectly blended complexion. As Beautyblender expands, we continue to innovate easy-to-use products that require minimal efforts yet offer maximum results. In November 2020, Rea Ann was honored at the Smithsonian American Museum of Natural History in the "Only One in The Room" exhibit, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage.
