Los Angeles hairstylist | The Beachwaver Collaboration

As a Los Angeles hairstylist, I collaborated with The Beachwaver. The Beachwaver is a female-founded company, they feel they have a responsibility and an obligation to develop products that are free of negative energy. With a dedicated focus on research and development, they continually innovating new products. They have an opportunity and a responsibility to make a positive impact and they are grateful for that every day.

The Beachwaver products are:

Paraben-Free
Vegan
Cruelty-Free
Petrolatum Free
Benzophenone Free

I love my job as a hairstylist and makeup artist and I enjoy working with a wide range of different looks and styles that my clients request. As a Los Angeles hairstylist, I mostly work on beauty, fashion, commercials, television, film, and movies.

Hair and makeup are a vitally important part of the filmmaking process, even if it’s not always obvious. Hairstylists and makeup artists help the director tell stories about characters and help the cinematographer make their vision a reality. As a hairstylist, I style the actors’ hair in whatever manner is required for the character.

I had an amazing time collaborating with The Beachwaver as a Los Angeles hairstylist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them for the future. As Hollywood pushes to become more diverse, as an expert makeup artist and hairstylist I’m more in demand than ever in order to properly prepare actors of diverse skin colors and hairstyles to be camera-ready. Thankfully to companies like The Beachwaver, my kit is fully stocked with the best hair products. They sent me their S1 ceramic rotating curling iron that provides easy, quality waves in minutes.

Los Angeles Hair Stylist | DevaCurl Partnership

As a Los Angeles hair stylist, I partnered with DevaCurl, salon-quality hair tools, and styling products that deliver healthy, naturally gorgeous, frizz-free curls.

About DevaCurl: DevaCurl started in New York City in 1994 as a salon specializing in curly hair. The salon became so popular that it launched a product line that is free of harsh ingredients and specifically designed for curly hair. The first Devachan salon was founded by Lorraine Massey and Dennis Da Silva in 1994 in New York City. Massey, a hairstylist, developed the “Curly Girl Method” and authored the book “Curly Girl: The Handbook” as guidelines for naturally curly hair care.

As a Los Angeles hair stylist, I’m in charge of the entire hair department, and I report directly to the production team and clients. I always love to try new products, DevaCurl sent me various amazing texture/volumizing sprays, dry shampoo, hair masks, and conditioners.

Curly Hair Tips and Tricks for Perfect Curls:

Always comb your hair from the bottom up.
Get regular trims to avoid split ends.
Use product “cocktailing” to define and hydrate curls.
Incorporate a conditioning treatment into your regimen.

The reason why I love DevaCurl products is that they have the best treatment for everyone. Curls with low porosity require lightweight products and heat treatments to look their best, while curls with high porosity need butters, oils, and proteins to keep them moisturized and healthy.

I had an excellent time collaborating with DevaCurl as a Los Angeles hair stylist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.

Traveling Hair and Makeup Artist | Portrait Session in Croatia with Domagoj Horak

As a traveling hair and makeup artist, I’ve had the opportunity to work with fashion/portrait photographer Domagoj Horak on a portrait shoot session in Zadar, Croatia. Domagoj Horak is a Croatia-based photographer/videographer. He has a passion for design and digital marketing as well.

Domagoj Horak captured me in a Croatia traveling story while I visited the country. A good portrait draws attention to the model. This is normally achieved through some combination of a shallow depth of field, composition, color, and lighting. You should be able to look at a good portrait and know something about them. The best portrait artists can tell a whole story in a single image.

As a commercial makeup artist, I did my own hair and makeup. Dark Swan Of Denmark sent me an amazing set of lash collection so I used their lashes on this photoshoot session. For foundation, I used Paris Berlin and for eye shadows, I used the MAC Cosmetics palette. I wanted to keep my hair and makeup natural-looking and having a glowing skin tone. Natural makeup will enhance your features. It’s a simple approach that focuses on a few key areas – skin, eyes, and lips – and brings out your best in a subtle way. Natural makeup will never go out of fashion.

I had a great time collaborating with fashion / portrait photographer Domagoj Horak as a traveling hair and makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with him for the future.

Usually, I execute the hair styling for one or two principal actors or models. Working as the key hair stylist on commercials/films/television or fashion shoots requires working in a sanitized, organized, and professional hair and makeup room/trailer.

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.

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.

I’ve received their most extravagant collection of eyelashes, including their Luxury Mink, Soft Silk collection of lashes as well as their feather individuals.
