Elevating Beauty & Confidence with Rosa Bella Artistry | Best of Raleigh Episode 63
In a world where beauty is often filtered and formulaic, Amity Rosa is rewriting the script—one face at a time. As the founder and CEO of Rosa Bella Artistry, Amity brings more than just makeup to the table. She's an internationally published creative director, trusted beauty expert, and a deeply intuitive artist who believes that makeup should enhance your essence—not mask it.
In this episode of The Best of Raleigh, host Gretchen Coley dives into Amity’s inspiring journey, from styling high school prom hair to gracing fashion campaigns, celebrity shoots, and film credits. With a career rooted in purpose and self-expression, Amity is redefining what it means to feel beautiful.
A Career Built on Connection
Amity’s approach is equal parts artistry and heart. After years in the corporate beauty world, she launched Rosa Bella Artistry to focus on people—not products. Her signature style blends classic techniques with a personalized touch that leaves clients glowing from the inside out.
Whether she’s working with brides, fashion brands, or mothers and daughters prepping for milestone moments, Amity’s calm energy and expert technique help women feel seen, celebrated, and confident.
“I’m not a trendy artist. I look into someone’s spirit to bring out what’s already beautiful.”
Featuring: PONO by Joan Goodman
One of Amity’s most meaningful collaborations has been with the luxury jewelry brand PONO by Joan Goodman. What began as a creative concept shoot turned into a lasting partnership, with Amity’s images now featured throughout the brand’s website. Known for bold, Italian-inspired statement pieces, PONO’s aesthetic aligns perfectly with Amity’s love of style with substance.
If you're looking for ethically made, high-impact accessories to elevate any look, PONO is a brand to watch—and one that holds a special place in Amity’s story.
Product Favorites That Elevate Any Look
Amity’s expertise extends beyond artistry—she knows how to build a beauty bag that works for real life. Here are a few of her go-to products:
- Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C & Turmeric Face Oil – For hydrated, radiant skin that glows before the makeup even begins.
- Bobbi Brown Face Base – A makeup primer and moisturizer in one that delivers the perfect base for flawless application.
- Laura Mercier Caviar Stick – A creamy, easy-to-blend eyeshadow stick perfect for a touch of shimmer or a full glam look in seconds.
Amity also recommends tinted SPF, hydrating foundations, and skipping the rules in favor of what makes you feel confident. Whether you're 18 or 58, her philosophy is the same: beauty should be fun, not overwhelming.
