behind the artistry

Welcome. I’m Rosa-Lee, the founder and lead artist behind Malvarose Beauty.

Formally trained in Cosmetic Techniques and Management at Seneca, my decade-long career has taken me from high-profile political greenrooms to the red carpets of the entertainment industry and the editorial pages of Vogue Italia. I have had the privilege of providing makeup services for a roster of prominent figures and global leaders, including Angelina Jolie, Christine Lagarde, the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, and Tina Brown. My work has spanned commercial sets, music videos, and custom beauty profiles for international destination brides from Jamaica to Tanzania.

After a dedicated five-year hiatus to expand my perspective in other business ventures, I have returned to my first true love, the transformative art of makeup. Now based in the breathtaking Niagara Region, I bring an obsession with advanced skincare and a dedication to excellence to every client I meet.

My mission with Malvarose Beauty is to bring this exact red-carpet standard of service to you. I do not believe in rushing or cutting corners. Every brushstroke is intentional, every product is curated, and every look is meticulously designed to celebrate your unique features with absolute precision. I cannot wait to welcome you into my chair.
