Let’s go way back to when I was attending makeup school at Westmore Academy!

My lovely classmate, Lauren, all done up with a GREEN avant garde makeup by yours truly. (:

Have a lovely night bloggers!

Made for Television

I had the opportunity to work on another television show!

Here are a few behind the scenes shots from NatGeo’s, “I’ll Buy It.”
Makeup and hair by me!

Talent (from left): Malcolm Varner, Shelley Rodriguez, James Hill, David “Spunky” Halpin
Shot for the opening credits of the show. Filmed in the Culver Hotel. I love the beautiful marble floor!

Continuation frame from the shot above. The talent throws $100s into the air to make it rain! Slow motion playback on the camera for this shot was amazing!

James Hill’s shot was in this beautiful car!  Note Savannah as the “sexy girl” role in the car with him.  Savannah’s big sexy curls were styled by me!

Here is a close-up shot of her hair style.  Va-Va-Voom!

SyFy’s “Hollywood Treasure”

I have had the pleasure of working on SyFy network’s Hollywood Treasure television series!! My work appears in all episodes of season 2!

Here is a behind the scenes photo on the set of Hollywood Treasure.

The cast and crew were all a pleasure to work with and I really enjoyed being on set.  Television and film is my passion and I can not wait to experience more!!

Fashion Forward

One thing I love about being a makeup artist is the chaos of being backstage for fashion shows!

Here are some behind the scenes photos from two different fashion shows I worked awhile back for designer Sheree Carella of Kareenas Trends clothing line.
