An avid designer, sketcher, and artist, Desi lives to create beautiful things.
Desi has come up in the YouTube ranks with Katy DeGroot—AKA Lustrelux. DeGroot, who has 1.93 million YouTube subscribers and over 160 million video views, is no longer as active as an influencer on YouTube. She hasn’t uploaded a new video since late 2021.
The pair, who started out as co-workers for the same talent agency, built a strong bond.
In a 2021 Instagram post where she tagged Katy, Desi commented:
“From co worker —> friend —> best friend —> family —> my sons’ madrina
Now you’re stuck with me for life.”
Husband
While learning the tricks of the makeup trade in her late teens, Desi met Steven Perkins at an LA Abercrombie and Fitch store in 2006.

Both Desi and Steven were seeing other people, and Steven didn’t make a great first impression on the Latina beauty.
Over time, the pair became friends, and when their respective relationships had ended they went on a date.
After another five years of dates they moved in together, and the following year—2012—the pair got married.
Desi, who has quite a conservative approach towards family and romance, stated in a Q&A video on her channel that 6 years was way too long to date before they got married.
Desi Perkins and Steven got married in the summer at Laguna Beach, with Steven sharing the ceremony on his YouTube channel in August of that year.
The loved up couple jetted off to Fiji for their honeymoon.
The husband and wife duo weren’t just a pretty package—they make an amazing team.
Desi, the creative side of the business—as well as the face of the brand—is complemented by her husband’s graphic design and technical prowess. Steven shoots and edits most of the videos.
