Los Angeles Makeup Artist and Stylist | ShoutoutLA Interview

Los Angeles Makeup Artist and Stylist | ShoutoutLA Interview

Being a Los Angeles makeup artist and stylist, I had the luck of giving an interview to ShoutoutLA Magazine.

ShoutoutLA is part of the Los Angeles-based Voyage Group of Magazines and our flagship publication, VoyageLA was started in 2015. Since then they’ve grown to almost a dozen cities, generated millions of page views and helped tens of thousands of entrepreneurs and creatives share their stories. Along the way they’ve built a vibrant and highly engaged community and Shoutout is about giving that community an opportunity to go beyond stories.

Their first interview question to me was:

“How do you think about risk?
You have to take risks in your life in order to grow. I moved to LA from Asia ( where I lived for 5 years prior moving to the US ) with only 2 suitcases in 2017, only knowing a few people. No matter the outcome, I started working on different sets, began to network. I believe we grow through the process of experience and become stronger and more confident as we move ahead. By taking risks, you give yourself permission to try things out, to learn, to fail, to grow, and to explore. You get to test your limits and go beyond what you believed was possible. You can go after the things in life you really want to achieve and in LA, the sky is the limit!”

I had a wonderful time collaborating with ShoutoutLA Magazine as a Los Angeles makeup artist and stylist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future.

Hair and Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | Ergatta Spring Campaign

Hair and Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | Ergatta Spring Campaign

As a hair and makeup artist in Los Angeles, I had the luck of working with Ergatta‘s team on a 2-days campaign shoot in Los Angeles, CA. I did hair and makeup on multiple talents during this video production. The hair and makeup direction given by the client was camera-ready.

About Ergatta: Fast, efficient workouts perfect for any schedule. Easy to store with an elegant design. Ergatta’s gaming-inspired workouts are proven to keep you motivated to hit your goals.

Makeup + hair for fitness / athletic print commercials and major marketing campaigns are usually minimalistic and natural. When we are doing our photoshoot outdoors, chances are that we will be exposed to the sun for at least one to two hours so I always start with using sunscreen. I also like to use primers which not only help with prolonging the wear of your foundation but also add a ‘smoothing’ and ‘blurring effect’ to your skin. Huge pores look very obvious in close-up portraits, so it always helps to use a product that can cover the pores.

Eyeliner and mascara are also key elements for a minimalistic makeup look. when it comes to applying eyeliner, in many ways less can be more. When you are using brown or black eyeliner, you should be careful not to line the inner rim too heavily, Last but not least, remember to set your makeup so that your makeup stays on for as long as you need.

I had a wonderful time working with Ergatta‘s team as a Los Angeles makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future.

Key Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | Kerrits Photoshoot

Key Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | Kerrits Photoshoot

As a key makeup artist in Los Angeles, I had the luck of working with Kerrits on a 1-day photoshoot production in Twin Peaks, CA. I did hair and makeup on the models during this video production. The hair and makeup direction given by the client was camera ready. We wanted to capture the models natural beauty.

Kerrits is an American lifestyle apparel line. Their mission is to thoughtfully design and responsibly create clothes that let women unbridle their personal style and their power to help horses. They opt for materials and processes that are kind to people and the planet. Then, they donate 1% of proceeds to support equine causes. Their styles help you look and feel your best on an adventure or in the office. Curated pieces made from extraordinarily comfortable, responsibly sourced fabrics become a feel-good wardrobe that outlasts trends and seasons.

When I’m shooting outside, especially when it’s sunny out, the model’s faces are more likely to show up washed out in the pictures. To keep this from happening, I make sure to choose a lip color that is a little brighter/bolder than what I’d normally use on an indoor shoot. Along with blush and lip color, I also frame the model’s faces with bronzer. Doing this will bring a lot more color and warmth to their faces, while simultaneously enhancing all of their best features at the center of their face.

I had a wonderful time working with Kerrits as a key makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future.
