Eli’s love for makeup began as a little girl, playing in her mom’s bathroom—dipping her fingers into blue eyeshadow, red lipstick, and hot pink blush. She would put on dress-up fashion shows for her family, not knowing that those early moments were the spark of something bigger.

Originally planning to become a dental hygienist, Eli chose to follow her heart and turn her passion into purpose—helping women feel confident and beautiful by enhancing their natural features with makeup.

Her journey began in the living room of her first apartment, working from a barber chair and a heart full of ambition. As her skill and reputation grew, she moved into a spare bedroom studio—carpeted floors and all—where she continued to build her loyal clientele.

Today, RealBeautybyEli is a thriving studio in North Andover, a space filled with light, love, and artistry. Eli’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and the belief that real beauty starts from within—and she’s just getting started.
