Meet Agne Skaringa | Makeup Artist, Hairstylist, Fine Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Agne Skaringa and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Agne, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
Keep on going! It’s a journey, not a destination 🙂

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Celebrating 14 Years of Beauty Affair!
Beauty Affair is an award-winning mobile makeup and hair artistry team based in Los Angeles, specializing in bridal and red carpet beauty services.

Luxury beauty services from passioned Hollywood’s TOP make up artists and hair stylists. Our primary focus is on weddings, red carpet events, and other special occasions. Additionally, we offer Makeup Master Classes designed for both professionals and everyday women.

Meet Our Owner, Agne:
I graduated from three art schools and hold a bachelor’s degree in architecture. After finishing my studies, I moved to Los Angeles, where I discovered the immense opportunities in makeup and hairstyling. I began my journey freelancing as a model, collaborating with a variety of photographers, makeup artists, and hairstylists. This experience taught me invaluable lessons and ignited my passion for helping women feel beautiful.

I am incredibly proud of my team, which includes artists who have come to America on extraordinary visas and decided to make it their home. Each member brings unique talents from around the globe, making us a diverse and exceptional group.

Freelancing can be challenging, but it is also immensely rewarding. Building my business from the ground up required dedication and resilience. I am grateful to have had my husband, Tomas Skaringa, by my side as he launched his wedding photography business, The Big Affair. Together, we have flourished!

That’s why I offer Bridal Master Classes for both seasoned professionals and aspiring artists. I am eager to share the knowledge and insights I’ve gained throughout my journey, helping others navigate the exciting and dynamic world of bridal beauty.

Advice for the ones who are starting out.
“Remember that you are always exactly where you need to be, experiencing what you need to experience so that you can learn what you must learn in order to become the person you need to be to create everything you want for your life. Always.” – Hal Elrod

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
It all depends on your interests! 🙂 Welcome to Los Angeles!

As a foodie, my absolute favorite place to eat is Cafe Gratitude. From delicious food to refreshing drinks, everything is crafted with love.

A visit to the beach is a must! I’ll take you to Laguna Beach, where we can enjoy the art scene and the soothing ocean breeze. Don’t forget to explore the local art galleries while we’re there!

Currently, I’m located in Pasadena, so you’ll definitely want to check out the charming Victorian and Art Deco buildings—art deco is a personal favorite of mine!

I also consider the Huntington Gardens to be one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen. As someone who loves to travel, you can trust my recommendations.

Another gem is a hike to Griffith Observatory; it’s perfect for finding spiritual inspiration.

There’s so much to see and do! I feel truly blessed to live in LA, where we have an incredible mix of cultural events, amazing food, and diverse people.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to thank my talented husband Tomas Skaringa for love, support and gorgeous photos.
Thank you Cinema Makeup School for a scholarship and trust to represent you. To Leonard Engelman for mentorship.
My mom guiding me to art scene and giving the charisma.
For all my friends and followers, I love and appreciate you!
