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

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.
