Los Angeles Freelance Makeup Artist | L.A. Easy Dear Velvet Editorial

Los Angeles Freelance Makeup Artist | L.A. Easy Dear Velvet Editorial

As a Los Angeles freelance makeup artist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with fashion model/influencer Brianna Olenslager on an editorial shoot in Los Angeles. The fashion shoot entitled L.A. Easy has been published by Dear Velvet on their online blog.

Being a makeup artist is always exciting for me to create different looks that catch the eye of the internet audience. With makeup alone, you can do so much to get the look and feel you are going for. I always arrive at fashion shoots with a fully equipped kit of high-quality cosmetics in a wide variety of colors. Glowing/natural skin is the ultimate photo-ready secret. In this editorial, I used black eyeliner to bring out the model eyes. A little highlighter on the eyes is a super fun way to add some shine to your look. 

Dear Velvet of our shoot: All doe-eyed, with honeyed tresses, Brianna epitomizes the modern spirit of LA: sweet white dresses toughened up with denim, and hoodie and jeans made candy-striped feminine, in front of one of LA’s abundant graffiti backdrops. So Venice Beach, so LA easy.

Dear Velvet is a diary of style, creativity, and wanderlust. We first connected in 2015 with the DV team and since then, they have published several amazing articles about my work.

I had a great time collaborating with Dear Velvet as a Los Angeles freelance makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them for the future.

Film Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | “The Influencers” Santa Monica Webfest

Film Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | “The Influencers” Santa Monica Webfest

As a film makeup artist in Los Angeles, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Katie Burris, director of “The Influencers”, a Comedy Pilot. I was the key makeup artist and hairstylist on this project. We were shooting for 2 days in Los Angeles.

“The Influencers” have been accepted to the Santa Monica Webfest in Los Angeles, California, and are nominated in 3 categories — including Best Ensemble Cast, Best Low Budget Series, and Best Comedy Series. In its inaugural year, Santa Monica Webfest will be showcasing the very best in short-form digital content from around the world. The festival will be taking place in June of 2020 in one of the most picturesque beach communities on the planet.

Being an L.A. film makeup artist, I am responsible for applying makeup to actors and actresses during filming. Makeup artists play an important role in helping the writers and directors tell a story by working closely with the director and production team to bring a story to life. Cameras can accentuate wrinkles, affect skin tone, and magnify skin flaws like scars and acne so I need to make sure my models, actors are camera-ready throughout the day. I touch them up between takes and correcting the distortions caused by the camera lens and lights.

I had a great time collaborating with “The Influencers” team as a film makeup artist in Los Angeles, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them for the future.

Los Angeles Makeup Artist | Antonym Cosmetics Partnership

As a Los Angeles makeup artist, I collaborated with Antonym Cosmetics, an organic makeup range that is made with certified natural and organic ingredients. The brand range is free of chemicals such as parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, and phthalates.

Antonym Cosmetics was founded by Miami makeup artist Valerie Giraud who sought to create the best organic makeup and makeup brushes that were cruelty-free and gentle on the skin. According to Val, natural makeup doesn’t have to mean a natural look. This is why Antonym Cosmetics is certified natural and organic and highly pigmented.

Natural or “clean” beauty has blown up in recent years. As a Los Angeles beauty makeup artist, I care more about non-toxic ingredients and I’m making a conscious effort to pay close attention to harmful chemicals commonly found in makeup products, like parabens. When I choose the right foundation, blush, lip color of my models, actors, and clients I make sure to look for the most natural-looking match.

The cruelty-free organic Antonym Cosmetics’ coverage is sheer but build-able up to medium, and the velvet matte finish is one of the best skin-like finishes I’ve ever seen.

Thankfully with many years of experience, I have my hair and makeup kit fully equipped for every project. With the support of Antonym Cosmetics, I can have my kit products fully stocked. Their products are truly amazing, I love to use them on my shoots.

Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | Kari Gran Skin Care Collaboration

Makeup Artist in Los Angeles | Kari Gran Skin Care Collaboration

As a makeup artist in Los Angeles, California, I collaborated with Kari Gran, an eco-luxe and simple skincare solution beauty brand.

About Kari Gran: All of their hand-poured products are made using only the finest naturally derived, organic, wild-harvested, and non-GMO ingredients. Their oil-based system harnesses plant and essential oils to gently and safely nourish the skin. The products do not have any added water to ensure you’re only getting the ingredients that matter in a potent and effective state.

At Kari Gran, they choose to formulate without parabens as they stay away from ingredients that are linked to harmful diseases or are known to disrupt our body’s natural processes. Sustainable beauty has never been more timely. Kari Gran is very impressive for its luxurious skincare benefits as it is for its environmentally-friendly ethos.

Thankfully with many years of experience, I have my makeup kit fully equipped for every project. With the support of Kari Gran, I can have my skincare products fully stocked. Their products are amazing, I love to use them on my shoots.

With respect to the cosmetics industry in 2020, “green” and “sustainable” cosmetics are defined as cosmetic products using natural ingredients produced from renewable raw materials. Luckily nowadays, many companies use petrochemical ingredients derived from petrol, a non-renewable and economically volatile resource.
On set it is very important to me to use the highest quality products on my clients because wearing makeup every day can dry out your skin quickly if you are not moisturizing / taking care of your skin properly.

I had a wonderful time collaborating with Kari Gran, as a makeup artist in Los Angeles, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.

As a key make-up artist in Los Angeles, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Xi He, director of his Antarctica short film. I was the lead makeup artist and hair stylist on this project. We were shooting for 5 days in Los Angeles.

Our cinematographer was Laura Jansen. Laura was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in a small suburban town 25 miles south of the city. Much of her free time as an only-child was spent either in front of a television screen or in a movie theater. It was there that she fell in love with film’s ability to completely immerse her in the narrative and take her to a different place entirely.

I love my job as a makeup artist and I love working with a wide range of different looks and styles that my clients request. I get excited about working with directors such as Xi He and cinematographer Laura Jansen. I am always curious as to what I can contribute to these projects. Most of all, I delight in seeing my work used by clients in their social media posts, films, campaigns, and websites. In this short film for our actors, I created natural and camera-ready hair/makeup looks.

I had a great time collaborating with Xi He and his team as a key make-up artist in Los Angeles, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.
