Beke Beau is an award winning professional make-up artist, specializing in wedding and commercial make-up and styling. She is based in the Philadelphia area and the is the founder of the Beke Beau Makeup Studio. She is also an Adjunct faculty member at Immaculata University.
Beke is candid and open about her unpredictable journey from Rock Star to the Harvard School of Divinity. Initially, after high school , she was feeling out of place in college so she dropped out of the University of Vermont after 6 weeks and began her role as an 80’s Rock Star. After about 7 years on the road as a rocker, Beke decided to go back to school in NYC, and to her surprise, ended up a Phi Beta Kappa at Hunter College. Beke’s love of Sociology and Philosophy lead her to religious studies and she ended up getting into Harvard’s School of Divinity. “If you get into Harvard…you have to go to Harvard!” Beke has had a colorful and truly eclectic life. Her unlikely roadmap proves you cannot always know your exact path, but you can follow your heart and intuition to be fulfilled and meet your challenges. She started her make up career with Laura Geller (QVC) and Kimara Ahnert, both highly successful entrepreneurs in the world of cosmetics. Beke is now sharing her knowledge about makeup teaching mature women, and other up and coming make up artists, at her Beke Beau Makeup Studio.
