makeup services

As a professional Artist, my portfolio is diverse and I work across multiple verticals such as: advertising, editorial, weddings, or red carpet events.

“From the clean looks of advertising, to the high energy of commercial work, to the perfect bridal glow, or a stunning beauty campaign, I dedicate myself fully to ensuring each client feels their absolute best.”

As immuno-compromised person, I like to request a Covid test 24-48hrs before working together ideally:)

Since makeup is such a personal experience, let’s have a quick call “to get to know each other and build trust before beginning.”

headshots & professional branding

When applying makeup for HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY

I consider two factors:

the use of light + camera ready products

This means I’m going to be working from a kit that has matte textures, HD foundations and hues that are in harmony with a range of skin tones. Contouring, highlighting, and eye definition is always done to create facial definition.

The clean photo finish you see here is achieve through a careful balance and ensuring the makeup translates on camera. “I work in layers and this subtle look is the result.”

Client appointments are held in North Oakland. The styling space is shared, so advanced notice is required. As a new client, to get started with a connection call click below:

commercial photo & video shoots

Well versed in hair and makeup techniques , I bring strong attention to detail and precision — it’s my super-power. I love bringing this high level of precision to commercial photo sets. I understand the importance of capturing subtle nuances in lighting, texture and composition, ensuring the final images meet the clients or brand’s vision.

I’m adaptive, which is vital on a fast-paced set, where collaboration and clear understanding IS essential.

Translation: “Copy that!”

Send me a creative brief or mood deck and I’ll work hard towards execution. I love collaborative partnering with photographers, producers, art directors, beauty editors, actors and models, etc. I’m proud that my work is efficient, requiring minimal post-production and retouching.

My experience with commercials, videos, editorial and print projects spans more than 20 years, and my high level of service leads to repeat bookings. I’m pretty proud to help produce high-quality, client-aligned imagery.

  • The secret to gorgeous makeup, whether you’re meeting face-to-face or stepping in front of a camera, lies in placement, technique and the textures we use. We want your skin to look naturally radiant and polished. Now cameras, especially HD, see everything and can make your features disappear. That’s why on-camera makeup requires a different approach to bring our your best.

    Lighting plays a big role too. What looks subtle in person might get lost on camera. It’s about creating definition and sculpting that translates beautifully through the lens and under various lighting.

  • Some notable mentions: Mindy Kaling, Iyanla Vanzant, Patti Austin, Uma Thurman, Tomiko Frazier, Lisa Price, and Sally Richardson, to name a few.

  • I work with Ella Sophie: Photographers

  • Derma-planing helps achieve this by creating a smooth and even surface to your makeup. It’s a caring step that removes those tiny peach fuzz hairs that can dull your complexion on time. By revealing the brighter skin underneath, your radiance can truly shine thru.
