Eyebrows have been in the spotlight more than ever in 2020 and for good reason. Well-groomed brows act to frame the eyes and highlight your best features. In fact, strong brows can make you look put-together on a makeup-free day. The right eyebrow shape can brighten your appearance and make you look more youthful.

Los Angeles Hair Stylist | DevaCurl Partnership

As a Los Angeles hair stylist, I partnered with DevaCurl, salon-quality hair tools, and styling products that deliver healthy, naturally gorgeous, frizz-free curls.

About DevaCurl: DevaCurl started in New York City in 1994 as a salon specializing in curly hair. The salon became so popular that it launched a product line that is free of harsh ingredients and specifically designed for curly hair. The first Devachan salon was founded by Lorraine Massey and Dennis Da Silva in 1994 in New York City. Massey, a hairstylist, developed the “Curly Girl Method” and authored the book “Curly Girl: The Handbook” as guidelines for naturally curly hair care.

As a Los Angeles hair stylist, I’m in charge of the entire hair department, and I report directly to the production team and clients. I always love to try new products, DevaCurl sent me various amazing texture/volumizing sprays, dry shampoo, hair masks, and conditioners.

Curly Hair Tips and Tricks for Perfect Curls:

Always comb your hair from the bottom up.
Get regular trims to avoid split ends.
Use product “cocktailing” to define and hydrate curls.
Incorporate a conditioning treatment into your regimen.

The reason why I love DevaCurl products is that they have the best treatment for everyone. Curls with low porosity require lightweight products and heat treatments to look their best, while curls with high porosity need butters, oils, and proteins to keep them moisturized and healthy.

I had an excellent time collaborating with DevaCurl as a Los Angeles hair stylist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.

Los Angeles Makeup Artist | COOLA Suncare Collaboration

As a Los Angeles makeup artist, I collaborated with COOLA, a wide range of organic and healthy sunscreen & skincare essentials. Sunscreen is the most important skincare product you can ever use.

A Broad Spectrum or Full Spectrum sunscreen protects your skin from the damaging exposure of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) light, UVA and UVB.

UVA rays penetrate into the skin’s dermis prematurely aging the skin causing it to wrinkle and develop brown age spots.
UVB rays can burn the skin, they vary in intensity depending on the season, location, and time of day.

Using sunscreen daily, even when it is cloudy or raining, dramatically decreases your risk of developing skin cancer, keeps you looking young, and keeps your skin tone even. Even if you don’t burn easily, wearing sunscreen is still important.

COOLA is passionate about creating beautiful product experiences that embody a happy, healthy lifestyle. They believe that clean beauty should feel as good as it is healthy, which is why they’re on a quest to develop organic products you’ll love wearing every day.

Thankfully with many years of experience, I have my makeup kit fully equipped for every project. With the support of COOLA, I can have my suncare products fully stocked. Their products are great, I love to use them!

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
