About Us

Modern Cosmetics was born out of a deep love for beauty, self-expression, and empowering individuals to feel their best. It all started with a passion for artistry and a desire to create a space where beauty becomes effortless and confidence feels natural.  ​ Our journey began with founder Alexis Schuster, a licensed cosmetic tattoo artist with years of experience and a mission to redefine what beauty means. Struggling with self-confidence in her own life, Alexis discovered the transformative power of makeup as a teenager and turned it into her life’s work. She launched Modern Cosmetics to bring that same sense of empowerment and authenticity to others. ​ Since its creation, Modern Cosmetics has grown into a trusted studio in the Dayton area, offering advanced permanent makeup techniques for brows, lips, and more. With a focus on empathy, precision, and staying at the forefront of innovation, our team is proud to provide tailored artistry that enhances each client’s natural features while reflecting their unique personality. ​ At Modern Cosmetics, we believe beauty is about more than how you look—it’s about how you feel. Our studio is built on the values of integrity, creativity, and care. Every step of your journey with us is designed to be supportive, transparent, and uniquely yours. From first-time consultations to transformative results, our story is about you. We’re here to help you embrace your individuality, radiate confidence, and simplify your beauty routine so you can focus on what truly matters in your life. Welcome to Modern Cosmetics—where artistry meets authenticity.
