Julia Dantas, hailing from a quaint Canadian town, discovered her love for makeup at a young age, igniting her dreams of establishing a beauty empire that could influence both the industry and people's lives. In a remarkably brief span, she transitioned from graduating at the prestigious College of Makeup, Art & Design in Toronto to gaining national recognition as a finalist on "Glam Masters," a television show hosted by Kim Kardashian West. Her remarkable journey continued as she secured a year-long collaboration with Burberry Beauty as their Canadian Makeup Ambassador, organizing makeup masterclasses across Canada and earning a seat at the table with elite brands like Makeup Forever, MAC Cosmetics, and NARS Cosmetics.⁠
⁠
Beyond her work with renowned brands, Julia frequently contributes as a beauty expert to "CBC Life." She further expanded her horizons by developing her beauty product line in partnership with Temptu Pro, becoming the youngest makeup artist ever featured in the pages of Marie Claire magazine. Her makeup artistry skills are in high demand, especially by the iconic Avril Lavigne. Julia served as the Key Makeup Artist for Avril's 'Love Sux' tour and the Machine Gun Kelly 'Sell Out' Tour, enhancing the star's look for award shows, music videos, and fashion weeks across the globe.⁠
⁠
Julia's influence extends even further through her collaborations with esteemed figures like Alexx Mayo, which included working with artists like Lizzo at high-profile events such as the Grammys, SNL, VMA's, AMA's, and the MET Gala. Her clients often commend not only her artistry but also her calming presence, which is particularly comforting before significant events. Julia's multifaceted career extends into education, where she founded the "Julia Dantas Beauty Academy," a platform for makeup artist certification that attracts students from around the world. She has also established her beauty agency, where makeup artists work under her label, catering to a diverse range of projects, from commercials to bridal parties.⁠
