Wardrobe stylist and makeup artist in Los Angeles | SUMMONED Short film

As a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist in Los Angeles, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Disney and 20th Digital. I was the lead makeup artist and wardrobe stylist on this project. The SUMMONED short film was produced by Justin Bell Productions and we shot in a house located in Los Angeles, California. I styled 2 talents through multiple wardrobe changes during this production.

Bite-Size Halloween 2020 features 30 exciting new filmmakers, amplifying their voice in the film community. This year’s cohort includes a well-rounded group of filmmakers representing different countries, identities, and backgrounds. The long term goal of 20th Digital Studio’s short film programs is to continue to guide and finance the growth of these artists’ careers.

On the LA Times: With its high production value and comic undertones, the short film could easily stand-in for a Super Bowl commercial. In fact, the two-minute video created by an L.A.-based filmmaker will begin running next week between Halloween-related programs on the Disney-owned cable channels FX and Freeform and will stream on Hulu.

“There’s a unique way of telling stories in that medium where they can be funny or heart-wrenching or scary, all in this very short period of time,” said Michelle Steffes, who directed the M&M’s short. “I would want to watch a two-minute short film rather than watching four 30-second commercials. So hopefully, other people will feel the same way.”

I had a wonderful time working with Justin Bell Productions, 20th Digital, and Disney’s team as a wardrobe stylist and makeup artist in Los Angeles, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them for the future.

Los Angeles COVID-19 Safe Makeup Artist | Aiden Health

As a Los Angeles COVID-19 safe makeup artist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Aiden Health on a branded shoot in Los Angeles, California. I styled and did hair and make on 2 talents during this branded photo production. The wardrobe direction given by the client and photographer focused on PPE gears. For hair and makeup styles, we decided to go with camera-ready, natural looks.

About Aiden Health: They manufacture PPE products, including masks, gowns, gloves, and sanitizers. Across pricing, product quality, and shipping, they are committed to ensuring you always have the information you need. Aiden Health is led by a team of experts in healthcare, technology, and logistics.

A couple of tips and tricks to keep a safe environment on set:

I purchase cheap disposable brushes that are designated to one actor or model each and, at the end of the shoot, the brushes are thrown out. I want to ensure all of my clients that I take your health and safety seriously.
Sometimes I would ask the talents/models to bring their own brushes
I will be wearing the required PPE gear
Due to the social distancing guidelines, we can not let more than 2 people into the workspace unless we can maintain social distancing
20 seconds of handwashing at a clean and sanitized sink will be required for both of us before we begin the makeup session
I clean and sanitize all equipment used
Hand sanitizer will be ready and available for your entire makeup session

I had an amazing time collaborating with Aiden Health as a Los Angeles makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them for the future.

COVID-19 Safe Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | COVID-19 Safety Certifications

As a COVID-19 safe makeup artist in Los Angeles, I completed all the safety certifications including the Safe Sets International and Barbicide courses.

Safe Sets International‘s program is designed to communicate the most current health and safety information relevant to our community of filmmakers, producers, crew, and industry professionals. The materials in these guidelines have been reviewed by medical experts and sourced using reputable, science-driven resources.

Barbicide is a disinfectant solution used by barbers and cosmetologists for disinfecting grooming tools such as combs and hair-cutting shears. Manufactured by King Research, it was invented in 1947 by Maurice King and marketed heavily around the United States by his brother James. Barbicide‘s online program is designed to present the most current information that is pertinent to the Professional Beauty Professional.

With the creative industries experiencing a huge amount of change during this difficult climate, it can be tricky for professionals to understand what it means to be ‘safe’ on set. As a professional makeup artist and hairstylist, my number one priority is to ensure safety on set during Covid-19.

A couple of tips and tricks in prior to the shoot:

I ensure that I have a plan for all talent that will require makeup, this way I know exactly what to bring to set
I communicated with all talents via email and confirmed their hair and makeup looks
Sanitized everything and whenever is possible I placed makeup in sample containers

I had a wonderful time accomplishing Safe Sets International and Barbicide online courses, as a COVID-19 safe makeup artist in Los Angeles.
