Cassandra Renee is YourBestKeptSecret™...

Unmistakably from the Midwest with Negretic and Native American origins, she was born to walk on the un ordinary lines, where she stumbles on extraordinary finds everyday in ordinary lives. Believing her talent could be utilized for more than an aesthetic value, she graduated in 2003 with honors as a Bachelor of Fine Arts major to then ironically explore outside of the territories of Fine Art. Her vision was to influence the masses and inspire the everyday monotony. By landing a full-time sales position with Prescriptives, the top leading sales counter in the Midwest region, it became a platform that has taught her much about people and the fundamentals in skincare and beauty. She now resides in New York City where she continues to utilize makeup as a way to express and bring to life her photo-realistic drawing skills and sculptural background translating beauty in every person she has the opportunity to work with. Some of her work includes UCE magazine, Powerhouse Books, Page Six Magazine, Woofin' Magazine (Japanese Music & Lifestyle Magazine), and Urban Mainstream Magazine (Online Publication).

If you're watching she's like a kaleidoscope, sporting a warmth wit and fashion sense unique to her own. A self actualized; self taught artist whose fascination with beauty, makeup, art, nature, design, and cinematography has incorporated it all into something everyone can benefit from. From the studio to the streets, she prides herself in having multiple creative disciplines and additional mediums to explore. With her unconventional sixth-sense and strong eye for detail, everyone is beginning to realize she is a best kept secret. Send an email or give her a ring, she'll be more than happy to discuss ideas, needs, projects or help in any way she can...
