Amazon Blink Holiday Commercial | Professional makeup artist

As a professional makeup artist , I recently I had the luck of working on an Amazon Blink Holiday commercial shoot. I created the hair and makeup looks for the talents during the 2 day shoot.

About Blink: Armed with two-way audio, HD video, customizable motion detection, and more — Blink smart security devices allow you to see, hear, and speak from the free Blink Home Monitor app on your smartphone. Plus, they work with select Alexa-enabled devices! Blink is proud to be an Amazon company.

I was hired by Stept Studios for this commercial shoot. 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.

The commercial was directed by Adam Patch, a commercial and film director. We were filming at the Golden Oak Ranch. Located within the 30-Mile Zone, the Golden Oak Ranch is a movie ranch like no other. Understanding that getting the most out of a shoot day is vital in today’s film, television and commercial industry, Disney and ABC Studios constructed two back lots on the Ranch—a Business District and a Suburban Street—so that part of the day could be filled staging an outdoor football scene in one of the many meadows, while the other part could be spent filming a crime scene in the alley at the Business District.

I had an amazing time working with with Blink and Stept Studios as a professional makeup artist and hope to create a lasting business relationship with them for the future.

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.
