“What was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The motivation behind starting my own business was originally my passion to create interesting content and media. I had the drive to help models and actors look their best in front of the camera, boosting their confidence in their professions. I love to collaborate with other like minded creatives and business owners to make their visions come to life.”

SuperMouth World Premiere | Celebrity makeup artist

Being a celebrity makeup artist, I mostly work on TV commercials,  branded videos,  events and photo shoots around the world. Recently, I got a chance to work on the SuperMouth World Premiere in Los Angeles, CA at the iconic Chinese Theatre. I was the key hair and makeup artist on this project for the superheroes.

About SuperMouth: In this family adventure, we meet the SuperMouth Squad, a team of superhero dentists and their comical sidekicks, as they attempt to stop villainous candymaker Cavitar from spreading Sugar Bugs to ruin teeth throughout the galaxy—starting with an epic battle in the mouths of two children.

WRITER/DIR: Daniel Robert Cohn
PROD: Evan J Cholfin
CAST: Joe Chambrello, Nova Gaver, Jack Brenner, Natalie Polisson, Jared Fleming, Daisy Isles, Acston Luca Porto

The movie premiered at Dances with Films festival. Since 1998 DANCES WITH FILMS has grown from presenting a handful of films to more than 200 each year…from narrative features and shorts to include the top documentaries, music videos tv & web on the circuit today. In 2007 DWF brought new commitment to the indie world with the advent of the 2 Minute, 2 Step Short Film Challenge where we actually shoot 10 films during the festival and present them to enthusiastic audiences. In 2012 the festival moved to its current location – the famed Chinese Theatre in the heart of Hollywood.  From there it has expanded to 11 days with ever increasing sold out theatres.

I got hired by LUXHAMMER, a full-service production and management company with creative capabilities dedicated to bringing the visions of writers, filmmakers, IP holders, ad agencies, and brands to life.

LUXHAMMER was founded on the idea that, to make any filmed entertainment that’s truly memorable, it needs two things: spectacle – what gets people to watch, and truth – tapping into something about who we are as human beings, that’s explored through the characters and the choices they face. LUX represents truth and HAMMER represents spectacle.

I had an amazing time working with LUXHAMMER as a celebrity makeup artist in Los Angeles and hope to create a lasting business relationship with them for the future.

Celebrity Makeup Artist | Amazon Alexa Holiday Campaign

Celebrity Makeup Artist | Amazon Alexa Holiday Campaign

As a celebrity makeup artist, I had the luck of working with Amazon and Stept Studios on their Alexa holiday commercial shoot in Los Angeles, CA.

I groomed 8 talents in total for this commercial shoot. We were going for camera-ready, natural looks. We were filming 4 commercials during 2 shooting days in a house location.

Applying primer is the first and most important step when I start to work on a camera ready makeup look. It will help reflect light and create the illusion of invisible pores. The next step is a semi-matte finish foundation. That is the best if you are going to take a lot of photos. It does not make your skin look too dry or oily in the pictures.

The commercial was produced by Stept Studios. About the company: Stept is an award-winning creative and production studio known for work that feels more like entertainment than advertising. They partner with brands, agencies, and platforms to create campaigns, commercials, and branded content with authenticity at its core. Their award-winning roster of directors represents the next generation of storytellers, working across commercial and documentary genres.

Amazon Alexa, also known simply as Alexa, is a virtual assistant technology largely based on a Polish speech synthesiser named Ivona, bought by Amazon in 2013. It was first used in the Amazon Echo smart speaker and the Echo Dot, Echo Studio and Amazon Tap speakers developed by Amazon Lab126.

I had an amazing time collaborating with Stept Studios and Amazon as a celebrity makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future.
