Meet The Team

Teresa Foss

Owner

Hi, I’m Teresa Foss—makeup artist, image consultant, and founder of DC Elite Image and Teresa Foss Beauty.

With over 20 years in the beauty and fashion industry, I’ve been lucky enough to turn a lifelong passion into a career I truly love. My work has taken me from bridal suites to red carpets, from styling everyday professionals to working with C-suite executives, professional athletes, models, and celebrities.

I’ve trained with celebrity artists like Mario Dedivanovic and Patrick Ta, and my work has been published in Marie Claire, Washingtonian, DC Modern Luxury, The New York Times, and more. But the most meaningful part of what I do is helping people feel confident, beautiful, and the best version of themselves—whether it’s your wedding day or a big career milestone.

Growing up as a shy Air Force kid and constantly moving, I learned early on how powerful personal style can be. It became my way of showing up confidently in new places and leaving a lasting impression—and it’s what inspired me to help others do the same.

Today, I live between LA and DC and work with a hand-selected team of artists who share the same high standards, professionalism, and love for this industry. We’re known for timeless, polished, and camera-ready beauty—tailored to you and your moment.
