I was involved in the project as a Los Angeles makeup artist. Columbia Tatone has produced a brand video production for our Jimmy Choo x YK Jeong fashion commercial / high fashion photoshoot. In this blog post, I would like to showcase the behind the scenes of this project for the debut of Jimmy Choo x YK Jeong collection which took place in a huge studio located in Los Angeles, California.

One of our model talent for this brand video production was Amanda Lynn Steele who is originally from the US, she is a video blogger, model, and actress. 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. Steele is known for her beauty and fashion-related content. She signed to IMG Models in early 2016. In 2015. I had a great time working with Amanda Lynn Steele and Jimmy Choo‘s team as a Los Angeles makeup artist and hope to create a lasting business relationship with them for the future.

This huge studio is the perfect location for a high fashion video and photo production. Our production design team created different shapes and sizes of backdrops which are all a part of the incredible aesthetic. The lighting team made sure the neon lighting was on point throughout the shoot.

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 Hair and Makeup Artist | Saddleback Shoot with OX Creates

As a Los Angeles hair and makeup artist, I often travel for work. During this project, I collaborated with OX Creates and Justin Bell Productions. This spot for the OX Creates, was shot over 2 days in Orange County, California with a stellar Justin Bell Productions commercial production team.

For this shoot, alongside my duties as a Los Angeles key makeup artist, I was also in charge of the hairstyling as well. Since each of the characters in this brand video are from the 1980s, I needed to ensure the hair and makeup looks for each character were appropriately created in order to represent their stories in the best way possible.

Justin Bell is a feature film, TV, commercial, and new media producer based in Los Angeles. Currently, he’s in post-production on a 1970’s style superhero heist movie – The Hyperions, starring Cary Elwes. In addition to narrative film and TV, Bell specializes in producing commercials and content for non-profit organizations.
