Rea Ann Silva

Creator and Founder of BeautyBlender

REA ANN SILVA
CREATOR, 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.
