Jimmy John’s Commercial | Professional Makeup Artist

Jimmy John’s Franchise, LLC, commonly referred to as Jimmy John’s, is an American multinational sandwich chain, headquartered in Champaign, Illinois. The business was founded by Jimmy John Liautaud in 1983. After Liautaud graduated from high school, his father gave him a choice to either join the military or start a business. Liautaud decided to start a hot dog business, which changed to sandwiches due to costs.

On set, I was responsible for makeup for four talents, ensuring each look translated seamlessly on camera while aligning with the fresh, vibrant tone of the campaign. Working in a fast-paced commercial environment always pushes creativity and precision, and this shoot was no exception. My approach to makeup artistry is rooted in enhancing natural beauty while aligning with the brand’s vision. For this campaign, that meant fresh, approachable, and effortless looks that complemented the vibrant, energetic tone of Jimmy John’s new Greek Gyro launch.

I had an amazing time collaborating with Jimmy John’s as a professional makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future. Being part of a professional commercial production also means collaborating closely with directors, photographers, and producers.

P&G x Diwali Times Square Campaign | Celebrity Makeup Artist

As a celebrity makeup artist, I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Plan C Agency and P&G, on home product commercial spots for the celebration of Diwali which is the Hindu festival of lights.

Tiger House Films produced these commercials. The creative production team at Tiger House Films filmed five separate spots for the P&G brands Secret, Always, Tide, Head & Shoulders and Bounty. Each of these separate spots starred a different South Asian influencer that introduced and used the products. These influencers were @seeratsaini @amidesai @notyourammaskitchen @kalissapersaud @geena_singh.

This unique series of spots was shot all in a single 12 hour production day, which took quite a bit of coordination and pre-production planning to put together in a smooth an efficient way. Our goal, along with PCA was to create a series of spots that reflected South Asian culture accurately. With the help of Director Neeraj Jain and Co-director Kate Li Dennis, the details of the script and content matched the needs of the Diwali theme.

These commercial spots were shown on TV as well as in Times Square on Diwali. We created these hair and makeup looks with Penny Kohli. The direction was to create Diwali makeup. Diwali is the perfect occasion to experiment with bold, glowing, and festive-inspired makeup styles. Whether you choose glitter glam, smoky eyes, or a soft, glowing base, the key to a radiant Diwali makeup look lies in balancing your features while enhancing your natural beauty.

Jacuzzi Photo & Video Campaign | Hair and Makeup Artist

As a hair and makeup artist in Los Angeles, I had the luck of working with Jacuzzi on their photo and video shoot. I did hair and makeup for five models. We worked on this campaign during 3 days in a beautiful house location in Riverside, California.

A Jacuzzi is a specific brand of hot tub, whirlpool bath, or spa, named after the Jacuzzi brothers who invented the hydrotherapy pump and later the first integrated whirlpool bath with jets, making the name synonymous with jetted tubs for relaxation and hydrotherapy. While often used generically, “Jacuzzi” refers to products from the company, which offers high-quality spas and baths, whereas a “hot tub” or “spa” can be any brand of jetted, heated tub for massage and relaxation.

Legendary for performance, reliability and ease of use, we set the standard by which all wellness products are measured. While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, only 65 years of innovation can produce designs made to the exacting standards of the Jacuzzi brand.

I had an amazing time collaborating with Jacuzzi and Kyle K Chapell as a hair and makeup artist in Los Angeles, CA, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future.
