Manuel Villegas has inspired and beautified women for more than 14 years with his innate creativity, keen sense of trends and his ability to bring a woman’s beauty from the inside out.

From his native home of Barcelona, where an affinity and appreciation for aesthetics was born to the runways of South America, where he designed beauty looks for high-end designers, Manuel has acquired an arsenal of skills and knowledge and an international flair for beauty that he now shares with women across the United States.

It was in Spain and then in South America where Manuel began working behind-the-scenes at fashion shows like Narciso Rodriguez and Silvia Tcherassi, and honed his ability to take beauty looks from the runway to the real world.

Today, when Manuel isn’t backstage at New York Fashion Week working with designers like Hugo Boss, Max Mara, Stephen Burrows and Chris Benz, or creating exclusive looks for designers such as Bradley Bayou, he can be found at film festivals, photo shoots and in the homes of VIPs. Manuel has touched the faces of some the world’s most beautiful women including celebrities such as Minnie Driver, Minka Kelly, Bonnie Sommerville and models such as Sophia Vergara and Adriana Arboleda. With his rich Spanish influences and ability to take looks from the runway and the red carpet, Manuel creates and teaches women from Boston to Philadelphia how to design their own unique and individual style. Manuel further empowers women by providing them with the tools—skincare being the most important— they need to recreate their look at home.

“When a woman has a proper skincare routine in addition to a custom tailored makeup look she will be able to naturally exude confidence and a beauty thatcomes from within.”
