Diana
Emmy-nominated makeup artist and hair stylist · Los Angeles · Since 2005
Few artists move between a late-night soundstage and a bridal suite as easily as Diana. A Los Angeles native, she earned a 2025 Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Makeup for a Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Program for A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter. She served as Key Makeup Artist on the Netflix special, and the same work earned her a 2026 Artisan nomination for Best Contemporary Makeup.
Diana spent eight years as Makeup Department Head for The Late Late Show with James Corden on CBS. She received Emmy honors for her contributions to the show’s Emmy-winning Carpool Karaoke primetime specials in 2016 and 2017. She later led the makeup department on After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson and the Everybody Loves Raymond 30th anniversary reunion. Her credits also include the Friends reunion on HBO Max, Is It Cake?, Top Chef and E! News, plus seven years in house at NBCUniversal.
Her chair has seen James Corden, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Olivia Munn, Taylor Tomlinson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her editorial work includes a James Corden portfolio for British Vogue and W Magazine’s Best Performances issue. She has worked the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Golden Globes and SAG Awards, plus campaigns for Apple, Nike, Verizon and Netflix’s Stranger Things activation.
Diana has wanted to do makeup since she was 15, after a beauty counter makeover for homecoming. Joining IATSE Local 706, where she holds Journeyman status, changed the course of her career. Her range runs from soft glam to avant-garde, including special effects.
Clients and crews describe her the same way: calm and collected in even the most chaotic moments. She has taken bridal work as far as Peru and Puerto Vallarta. Off set, she’s a mom of two with two rambunctious dogs, a Disneyland regular and a traveler whose recent trips include Japan, Korea, New Zealand and Argentina.
In three words: Experienced, social, detailed. Can’t work without: Waterproof mascara, setting spray and color-correcting concealer.
“I cannot thank Emily Lynn & Co and her team enough for the incredible work they did for my wedding. From start to finish, they were so accommodating and patient with me through every change, every adjustment—even when I switched makeup artists after my first trial. Their flexibility and professionalism made me feel supported the entire way through, and I truly appreciated it. On the day of the wedding, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Diana, who did my makeup. She was amazing. She listened so carefully to what I wanted—especially my wish to keep the look soft and natural—and made me feel so beautiful. Her presence was calm, kind, and experienced, which made such a difference during the hectic pace of the day. Despite a serious heat wave, Diana kept me—and my bridal party—looking fresh and flawless from start to finish. She even stayed for touch-ups, making sure everyone felt confident and beautiful all night long. The entire Emily Lynn team was remarkable. They worked seamlessly with all my bridesmaids and made sure everyone looked and felt their best. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better group of artists to be by my side. Even in the scorching heat, they made sure I looked stunning—and I’ll always be grateful to them for helping me feel so beautiful on one of the most important days of my life.” “We cannot recommend Emily Lynn highly enough! From the beginning they were so excited by our Ren Faire theme, and immediately understood what we were going for. Our artists Diana and Yuya came to our house the morning of the wedding to get us and our family members ready, and their work was stunning! They were both so kind and fun to talk to, and were a lovely addition to our day. And their work held up so well the whole night!! So happy we found them!” “Thank you so much to the entire Emily Lynn + Co team and especially Diana for doing my gorgeous wedding hair and makeup and Desiree for doing the beautiful wedding hair and makeup for my mother and sister. Highly recommend 10/10!”
