Hi, I’m Nana!

Professional makeup artist in Tampa, Florida and founder of Malania Beauty. I specialize in soft, polished glam for weddings and special events.

My goal? To help you feel radiant, relaxed, and ready—without ever worrying if your lashes are holding up or if your blush is blotchy.

My love of makeup started back when I was just a kid, borrowing my mom’s lipsticks and recreating looks from YouTube in the middle of the night.

But the turning point came in 2021. After five years in the banking world, I took a leap and followed the dream that had been calling me all along. Makeup wasn’t just a hobby—it was a way I connected with people, celebrated their stories, and helped them feel like the most confident version of themselves.

Now, I serve brides and clients across Tampa who want more than a beautiful final look—

They want someone who’s reliable, responsive, and brings a sense of calm to their wedding morning or special event.

I show up early. I stay organized. I want to know your love story, your must-haves, and how you want to feel when you see yourself in the mirror. I’m here to make sure you never feel rushed, never feel overlooked, and always feel heard.

Behind the scenes, I’m also a boy mom, a fitness-lover, and, admittedly, a little awkward (though people tell me I hide it well under a full face of glam)! Whether I’m getting a bridal party of nine out the door on time or helping a mama-to-be feel beautiful during her maternity shoot, I bring that same quiet confidence and care to every face I touch.

“Nana, thank you so much for making me and my party look and feel beautiful!

From my trial to my wedding day she was absolutely amazing, sweet and easy to work with and nailed exactly what I had envisioned! On my wedding day she got all my bridesmaids (5) mothers (2) and me all glammed up on time and worked perfectly with the two hairstylists. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

You’re getting a partner in your experience—someone who cares just as much about the vibe of your day as the photos you’ll look back on for years to come.

I’d be honored to be part of your story.
