About Mory Rivera

Mory is a Professional Freelance Makeup Artist, Certified Beauty Advisor, Certified Custom Blend Specialist and owner of Just Mory.

Although she has been active in the beauty industry since 2016, her interest and passion for makeup started at a very young age.

"I grew up in Puerto Rico and come from a very humble family of artisans. Which means, from a young age, I was exposed to the arts, music, and vibrant colors of the Island. We traveled from town to town and from festival to festival trying to make ends meet. And while at the time it didn't seem like we had much, looking back makes me realize how much we really had. Truth is, I had a front row seat and a VIP backstage pass to our culture and traditions. It was in one of those festivals, at one of those backstage experiences, where I fell in love with makeup. I witnessed how people's personality and confidence would instantly change by just adding a bit of colors to their faces and bodies. It was like watching a caterpillar transform into a butterfly right in front of your eyes! But more than that, it was also the overall joy they would bring to those around them as they embraced this new boost of confidence. That's when I said: I want to do that! "

 Shortly after that, she had her first hands-on-experiences with makeup by getting involved in different cultural activities, school plays, and even joined a local TV show called " Tití Lulu y Amigos" a children's clown show where she played the role of "Duendecilla Zikitrilla" and did her own character's makeup. She also started doing makeup for friends and family and had her first experience as an independent distributor for a small makeup company.

Even though makeup and beauty were what Mory loved, at the time, she didn't think she could make a career out of it. "Makeup back then just wasn't as popular as it is today". So, when the time to make a decision about college approached, she decided on a "more secure" path. Studied and graduated in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. After all, business and entrepreneurship were part of her DNA.

Life went on! Many changes took place: a new carrier, became a wife and a mom, left the island and relocated to New York. Through the years and all the changes, two things remained constant: her relationship with God and her love for makeup. Whenever time allowed, she would continue learning and practicing her craft while helping friends get ready for their special events. Little did she know that all of these changes would lead her right back into the beauty industry.

In 2015, she partnered with Motives Cosmetics and became a Beauty Advisor. This opportunity opened doors to an always current and constant learning experience about the beauty industry and a direct mentorship with seasoned Beauty Professionals and Business leaders. Mory continued expanding her knowledge by becoming a Certified Custom Blend specialist. Providing her with the ability to customize foundation and makeup from scratch according to the specific needs and wants of her clients. What a game changer!

In 2016, as her clientele continued to grow, Mory decided to follow a long-time dream. She merged her business background and passion for makeup by launching her own business venture:  Just Mory. A place where not only she offers makeup services and beauty products, but also provides solutions by educating and empowering others through Beauty from the inside out. A holistic approach to beauty that focus on wellness, skincare, makeup and more.

Since starting Just Mory, and through her beauty journey, Mory has been able to participate and provide professional services in New York and other states. Her talents and gifts have opened the opportunity to work different gigs, including: Bridal Makeup, Business Branding & Style Photoshoots, Pageants, Fashions Shows, Galas and many others special occasions and events.

In an effort to provide the best services, products and solutions, while remaining current in an ever changing-ever evolving industry, Mory continues to train and polish her skill by attending Seminars, Master Classes, Certifications and even started exploring the idea of becoming a licensed esthetician. 

Currently, Mory and her family relocated to the Hazleton Area in Pennsylvania. Her goal is to continue providing quality services and products, while helping others realize that beauty is so much more than just the way you look. Is a way to embrace who we are and enhancing, not changing, by "adding a little pixie dust and colors to what is already there", as she often says. Boosting your confidence and making it contagious to those around you.

TESTIMONIAL

"Mory is an amazingly talented artist, I've established that. But after working with her all day yesterday at a photoshoot, I was blown away by Mory's kindness, thoughtfulness, commitment and ethics. In my line of work as a concierge and lifestyle consultant, I seek to work with professionals that #1 provide excellent quality services, #2 unimpeachable customer care, #3 discretion and confidentiality. Mory ticks al the boxes and will work with her again!"        - @HelloCecille
