Aveda Graduate Inspires One Footprint at a Time…

 The endless opportunities available to an AVEDA Institute graduate are commonly taken for granted.  Yet, some of our graduates have taken their education, talent, and desire to excel, to the next level by teaching and promoting the Aveda experience throughout the beauty and product network.

Cresent Davis, a 2008 Aveda Institute Tallahassee graduate, has taken her remarkable talent and interest in the beauty industry to that level…

While a student, Cresent entered into the Edwin Neill Full Potential Competition where her passion for makeup was ignited.  Her introduction to the variety of palettes made its mark on her and changed the course of her career.  From that point forward, she was determined to take Aveda makeup to an entirely different spectrum of the beauty industry while educating people on the countless impressions and final touches that could be achieved with Aveda’s all-natural makeup.

She began doing freelance work as a makeup artist in the local Tallahassee area, from weddings, to proms, to local salon events and large-scale charity balls.  She even worked closely with the FSU Film School.  This exposure led to a position as a makeup artist for the FSU thesis film, Drift. Her debut was created entirely with the use of Aveda makeup.  Cresent’s talent led to a position as Makeup Director for six more contracted films and the honor of being published in Tallahassee magazine.

Her goal of becoming an Aveda Global Makeup Professional is well under way and her desire to teach and educate Aveda students and professionals on Aveda makeup is sure to take her to the top!          

Congratulations Cresent – you are a true inspiration!
