Our beautiful talent has incredible charisma and her experience over 15 years in the industry shined on camera . Her background as an actress gives her the ability be aware of her movements and balance for camera. She started her YouTube channel, MakeupByMandy24, in 2010.

Celebrity Makeup Artist Los Angeles | Creative Artists Agency Event

Celebrity Makeup Artist Los Angeles | Creative Artists Agency Event

As a celebrity makeup artist Los Angeles, I got asked by one of my best friends to do her CAA event the Golden Globe Awards hair and makeup look. I created a classic black smokey eye makeup look. This iconic makeup style looks good on everyone and is universally flattering.

Being a celebrity makeup artist Los Angeles, I advise these 3 things to know before starting your smokey eye:
  • The key is to always keep the darkest point at the lash line. It keeps the makeup really modern and fresh, and ensures you are drawing more attention to the eye vs. the makeup.
  • Stick to no more than 3 shadows and a liner to pop your eyes. Keep it simple!
  • Brushes are super important to get that blend. Blend is your friend. When it comes to a smokey eye, it doesn’t matter how dark you go, or what colours you use, it’s how well you can blend the liner and shadow.

The Golden Globe Awards are accolades bestowed by the 93 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association beginning in January 1944, recognizing excellence in film, both American and International, and American television.

Creative Artists Agency LLC or CAA is an American talent and sports agency based in Los Angeles, California. It is regarded as a dominant and influential company in the talent agency business and manages numerous clients. In March 2016, CAA had 1,800 employees.

Leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) represents many of the most successful and innovative professionals working in film, television, music, video games, theatre, and digital content, and provides a range of strategic marketing and consulting services to corporate clients.

It was a pleasure creating Lubi’s hair and makeup look as a celebrity makeup artist Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Fashion Stylist | Happy Plugs Campaign

Los Angeles Fashion Stylist | Happy Plugs Campaign

As a Los Angeles fashion stylist I got hired by Happy Plugs company to work on an international headphone photo + video campaign. We worked on this shoot for 2 days in Los Angeles, California. I love to work with brands that have great taste in their work and ad materials.

Let me tell you a little bit about the shoot. We worked with 4 agency models from Los Angeles, our art direction was straight forward, we wanted to capture the model’s natural beauty. As a Los Angeles fashion stylist I really enjoyed our collaboration because this shoot gave me the freedom of creating exciting wardrobe looks. I prepped the wardrobe looks in prior to the shoot and my assistant, Gene helped me on the shoot days to organize everything. I brought many wardrobe options from ZARA, Urban Outfitters, All Saints, and H&M stores. I shop A lot, especially if I work on a branded content/ad. I usually shop three to four times the amount I actually need. I’m expected to have endless options for the clients.

Happy Plugs was born at the end of 2011 when the founder Andreas Vural was looking for a pair of colorful headphones for his girlfriend. When he didn’t have any luck, he finally took the matter in his own hands – and painted a pair of headphones himself. And she and her friends loved them! He then realized there was room for well-designed and affordable quality headphones that went beyond functionality within the tech space. From this belief, the brand Happy Plugs was born.

I had a great time working with the Happy Plugs team as a fashion stylist and hope to create a lasting business relationship with them for the future.
