CIARA AMIR BECKFORD
CERTIFIED MEDICAL MICROPIGMENTOLOGIST, TRAINER, AND LICENSED ESTHETICIAN
Ciara’s journey started at the University of Oklahoma, where she earned a Bachelor’s in Journalism with a focus on Public Relations. But her true passion led her down a different path; makeup artistry. Since 2010, she’s built an impressive career working with high-profile clients like Alfre Woodard, Kevin Durant, and Serge Ibaka, with her work featured on networks like ABC, NBC, CNN, and Lifetime.
In 2017, after completing all Oklahoma state medical micropigmentation licensure requirements, Ciara transitioned into permanent cosmetics. Since then, she’s traveled across the U.S. and Canada, earning certifications and staying ahead of trends to bring the safest, most modern techniques to her clients.
With formal training in esthetics and years of experience in the cosmetic industry, Ciara is able to work with all skin types, textures, and tones. Her goal? To help you look like the best version of yourself while celebrating what makes you unique.
Every face is unique, therefore I do not believe in enhancing beauty by using cookie cutter techniques.
Every permanent makeup experience is uniquely tailored to your lifestyle, anatomy, skin tone and texture. I have traveled and trained extensively to cultivate a style and experience that is truly personal and exclusive to each client.
From convenient online booking to our collaborative design process, the Illume experience has YOU at the center of it all.
With love always,
Ciara

“Let me just start by saying I have been one of those people who have looked at a bunch of different brow artist until I found the right one, it’s my face who wouldn’t be scared. I decided to go with Ciara and let me just say you won’t regret it. She is so talented and goes above and beyond! I’ve always struggled with my brows and she made them look flawless!

“Ciara is absolutely AMAZING!!! From booking the appointment to aftercare, Ciara has not missed a beat. The atmosphere is relaxing, a “whole vibe” as they say. She made sure I was comfortable during the entire process. I loved that she took the time to ask questions about my makeup routines and wanted to know what look I was going for. She didn’t just listen to my desires, she fully delivered!! I was nervous about the color selection due to my complexion. But I was confident and trusted her expertise. She did not miss, her choice of color paired perfectly and compliments my skin tone so well. I highly recommend her
for your permanent makeup. You will not be disappointed.”

“I recently had an appointment with Ciara for permanent brow enhancing and couldn’t be happier with the experience and outcome! From the moment I walked in, the beautiful, clean, and relaxing environment put me at ease. It’s clear that every detail is thoughtfully curated to make clients feel welcome and comfortable.
The service itself was phenomenal. Ciara was incredibly kind, professional, and delicate, so much so that I actually caught myself drifiting off for a moment! She took the time to listen to what I wanted and worked with precision to deliver results that look natural and perfectly suit to my face.
It was a perfect balance of skill and care, making the whole process feel effortless. I walked out not only loving my new brows but also feeling like I’d had a wonderful, rejuvenating experience.
If you’re considering permanent makeup services, I can’t recommend Ciara enough. The experience is everything you could want: skill, professionalism, and a space that feels like a retreat. GO! You won’t regret it!”
