A native of New York, Deanna Melluso's unique approach to make-up is highly influenced by the NY club scene of the early 90s. She attributes her understanding of street culture and fashion to the likes of Boy George and the cinematic influences of Victor Victoria and Singing in the Rain.

Deanna has worked with Lady Gaga, Cynthia Nixon and Hayden Panettiere, in addition to completing advertising campaigns for Philip Crangi, Tracy Reese and Prescriptives. For spring 2010 Deanna has been lead make-up artist for Alexander Beradi and Cassete Playa. She has assisted on fashion shows with Francois Nars, Diane Kendal and Tom Pecheux and her work can be seen in the pages of Dazed and Confused, Own, I.D. and 125 Magazine.
