We’d love to share our latest pageantry development with none other than the Miss Black Oregon Pageant ™️ directed by Mariah Smith! This is actually our second year working with them. Last year I did glam for both Carmen Cowan Carmen Cowan | Ms. Black Oregon 2026™️ & Asianique Savage Asianique Savage | Miss Black Oregon 2026™️ along with their director for coronation ceremonies. 💕

This post is dedicated to 1/2 of the official glam squad for MISS OREGON LATINA & MISS WASHINGTON LATINA which included yours truly brand CEO Selena💋 & Fredy Mejia • Portland Makeup Artist •Maquillador official reps for Niña Fresa Cosmetics™️🍓, LLC 🍓

I want to shine a spotlight upon Fredy specifically for all of his hard work and dedication not only out in Miami, but leading up to nationals. As an experienced professional MUA I was honored to have him as a representative for 🍓

Fredy works at MAC as a makeup artist and literally instead of enjoying his days off from work. He’d spend them preparing doing practice runs with our pageant girlies. I am so grateful for his commitment to ensuring we’d deliver our best to the girls.

If you’re looking for an MUA in the Portland area please don’t hesitate to contact him. He truly is an amazing artist that pours his heart into his glams. You can also visit him at the Macy’s MAC in Washington Square Mall. There he can help you with all your MAC needs or on location glam session.

Be on the look out as he’ll be hosting a makeup workshop in the near future! We’ll be happily supporting him and you’ll receive a few goodies from MAC & NFC🍓. ✨

Fredy, once again thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking this leap of faith and accepting to represent my indie brand. Especially being associated with one of the most renowned commercial brands out there. It truly means the world to me and I hope your good energy comes back to you 10x. I can’t wait to continue this journey! 🙏

Much Love,
Selena

Today I’d like to recognize, show off, and thank Fredy Mejia • Portland Makeup Artist •Maquillador from the bottom of my heart!
🥹🫶🍓

I met Fredy in December 2024, but we didn’t really get acquainted seriously until August 2025. One thing about Fredy is he sees the vision and it’s not even here all the way yet. He has believed in me and Niña Fresa Cosmetics🍓 while lending his support not only through his makeup artistry, buuuuutt also his uplifting energy. Slowly but surely this partnership has crossed over into friendship as well. I could not be more grateful and proud to welcome him as an official brand representative. 🙏

Today we both are up in the air making our way to Miami for Miss U.S. Latina nationals. We are working together as the official glam squad for MISS OREGON LATINA and MISS WASHINGTON LATINA . Truly this is a pinch me moment for me and my brand . One of my goals has always been to see my products being used by pageant queens. Now we’re headed to Miami for a national pageant. What makes this even better is seeing my products in the hands of such an amazing MUA like Fredy working his magic. 🥹

I am so proud of all the hard work we’ve put in together as a team to ensure our best work possible for nationals. Fredy, words can’t express how grateful I am for you sharing this experience with me. May we have an amazing experience today, tomorrow, and always! 💖

Much Love,
Selena La Fresita
