Dia Dibble has been a professional makeup artist for the news and entertainment industry for nearly 15 years. Born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, she became interested in the arts at a very young age, performing in plays in Jr. High, competing in Debate and Forensics in High School, winning or placing in State Championships each year, and singing and dancing in the school's pop choir.

She graduated from Principia College, in Elsah, Illinois, with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and a Minor in Theatre Arts. Internships and summer jobs in television production during her senior year of college prepared her for her first part–time job following graduation as a production assistant for a startup cable network in Boston, Massachusetts called The Monitor Channel. This led to a full–time position as a stage manager for a live, nightly, national cable news program.

Soon she was asked if she would be interested in learning the craft of makeup for the same cable network and she was trained on the job by an industry professional who later became her mentor. Eventually she managed the entire makeup department, and was in charge of the makeup design and for over 30 news anchors and television hosts. Concurrently, at the same network, she became a news anchor for a cable in the classroom program geared toward high school students.

After moving to Los Angeles in 1992, Dia transitioned from a full–time job to the life of a freelancer, pursuing both acting in theater, television and film, and makeup for commercials, features, television and print.

Over the last 9 years she has worked on numerous national television commercials including Coca–Cola, American Express, Ford, Budweiser, Crest, Volkswagon, Pizza Hut, Pepsi, Snickers, and Mobil. She designed makeup for television specials seen on the Disney Channel, Comedy Central, CBS, NBC, A&E, History Channel, Fox, and Lifetime. In print she worked on campaigns for Kinkos, The Good Guys, Universal Studios, and Smart & Final. She was the key makeup artist for the award winning short film Nude Descending and makeup department head for the soon to be released feature film Homeroom starring Erika Christiansen. Her work on this film included wigs and special effects.

Over the years she has made up celebrities such as: Elton John, Kevin Kline, James Woods, Shaquille O'Neill, Drew Carey, Gregory Hines, Trisha Yearwood, Jean Stapleton, and Debbie Reynolds.

Her work runs the gamut from straight beauty makeup to character design to special makeup effects. She has been trained to use an airbrush, apply facial hair, wigs, tatoos, cuts, scars, and bruises. She also specializes in body camouflage.

Recently she has begun a makeup consulting business designed to teach and train women how to do their own makeup. It's tailored to each woman's specific needs including makeup shopping sessions and one–on–one lessons with specific instructions. Her upcoming website can be found soon at www.bleumascara.com.
