Erika La’ Pearl Roman is a Puerto Rican makeup artist. She is now the key makeup artist for Cardi B.
Erika’s relationship with Cardi began over three years ago when the rapper’s publicist contacted the beauty expert with hopes of working on a cosmetics line together. Instead, Erika asked to do Cardi’s makeup, and they have been working together ever since.
Cardi is her only client right now because she keeps her booked and busy, so whenever she has time on her hands she is just relaxing. Big-name people following her on social media want to work with her, but Cardi comes first. She’s very loyal to her. Their relationship may even be a bit unique, with Erika revealing that she does Cardi’s make up while she’s asleep in her bed.
She started in Atlanta, working on set of Love and Hip Hop and Real Housewives of Atlanta. She used to do Kandi Burruss’ makeup a lot for her confessionals. She was one of her first big clients together with Tammy Rivera.
