Brittany Diaz was born in 1989 to Cynthia Cintron and Israel Diaz in Staten Island, NY. Both parents are of Puertorican decent.

As a young child, Brittany was always drawing pictures of what she would see in magazines, movies and photo books. Art was something she had excelled at in all her classes from elementary school up into high school, even getting accepted in to Fashion Industries High School. By the time she was in high school, she had started selling some of her art work and customizing art for others. Aside from drawing she would also play with creative writing and submitting some short stories to various websites, occasionally winning small prizes.

As a young child Brittany dealt with some bullying problems due to her skin condition Eczema and suffered from depression. She used her art to try to cheer herself up and occasionally it worked.

At the age of 18, Brittany started getting into makeup artistry. She built up her portfolio trying to copy looks of what she would see in magazines and films. She was able to get herself booked in small photo shoots around New York City and eventually booked her first big makeup job as a lead makeup artist for a small independent film "1/20". After that she would go on to work in various publication photo shoots and short films and music videos, including "White Slavery II" for underground hip hop artist Necro and landed small spots as a makeup artist for reality television such as "Ice Loves Coco" and "House Wives of New jersey" After several years working as a makeup artist, Brittany partnered with a photographer and started an alternative fashion magazine in which Brittany would write out story boards and create them with photo shoots. After a few creative differences, Brittany and her partner parted ways and Brittany soon partnered with another photographer and created her current publication Orphic Trance magazine which is an editorial beauty/fashion magazine with the same story telling concept she had created in her previous publication.

In 2014 Brittany wrote and published her first novel Crystal, a young adult horror novel. Once published she teamed up with cinematographer and casted a few actors and directed and wrote a trailer for her book. In doing so, she would discover a new passion and wrote several short film scripts with plans to get them filmed put out. She also wrote, directed and did makeup for 4 short horror plays with plans to create film versions as well.

Currently Brittany is still very active in the makeup field, beginning a Youtube channel for her tutorials. She works as a lead makeup artist and modeling and acting instructor at talent training center located in Staten Island called Fenix Talent Development Center. She is in preproduction for her short film The Lingering; to be released in 2017.

If you survived, and someone is putting you down for what you did; you have nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud. You&#39;re still here and you&#39;re still going.

Beauty is only tenuously related to someone&#39;s physical attributes. I think it&#39;s something that shines out from somewhere inside of us. Be positive about others and especially about yourself. Be kind, stay strong even when you fall, have courage, remain humble and be confident.

I may not be able to save this world, but I sure as hell will make it smile.
