Funables Commercial | Los Angeles Hair and Makeup Artist

As a Los Angeles hair and makeup artist, I had the luck of working with Funables on their commercial shoot.

About Funables: Funables are fruit snacks. But not just any fruit snacks. Every treat you pull out of the bag is a morsel of fun just waiting to happen. They’re permissible treats you can feel good about serving — anytime, any place. They create their snacks to not only be something that satisfies a kid’s need to nibble between breakfast and lunch, or on that road trip to grandma’s house. They create them to spark joy and creativity, from the fun fruit snacks shapes right down to the snacks-periences you’ll find on each box.

The commercial was produced by Day 1 Agency, they work with the world’s leading brands to shape, share, and fuel stories that stop people in their scrolls. For them, every day is day one. An opportunity to start fresh, find a new angle, and let their creativity and curiosity lead them to the unexpected. They’re fueled by first day energy and they make it count. Investing in their relationships is where it all starts.

The commercial was directed by Justin Lazernik.

I love using them on my clients because Rare Beauty products are formulated with a mix of natural and synthetic ingredients. While they are vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free, they also incorporate synthetic ingredients for effectiveness. Some key natural ingredients include niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, peach flower extract, and ashwagandha.

On my commercial and fashion shoots I work with all skin types and different skin sensitivities so having a beauty brand that really understands customers needs and develop the right makeup formulas has been a huge help as a Los Angeles based professional makeup artist.

Rare Beauty stands out as a makeup brand founded on inclusivity, authenticity, and mental health advocacy, redefining what “luxury” means in the beauty industry. It focuses on celebrating individuality and making makeup feel good, not about hiding what makes you unique. The brand’s mission extends beyond products, aiming to destigmatize mental illness through initiatives like the Rare Impact Fund.

Pacifico Commercial | TV Commercial Makeup Artist

As a TV commercial makeup artist, I had the luck of working with Pacifico, a pilsner-style Mexican lager beer.It’s brewed in Mazatlán, Mexico, and is a popular choice among those who enjoy a light and easy-drinking beer. We’ve shot this commercial and photo campaign during 3 days in a studio in Los Angeles, CA.

Pacifico Beer history: In 1900, three German brewers established Cervecería del Pacifico in the small Mexican port town of Mazatlán. Word of the exceptionally drinkable pilsner-style lager traveled fast. Soon, thirst for Pacifico spread from Sinaloa and up the rugged Baja coastline. Fast forward to the early 1970s. As the story goes, a group of California surfers ventured south in their van to explore the breaks along the coast. Eventually they found themselves in Baja, where they also discovered hidden surf spots, friendly cantinas, and a beloved local beer called Pacifico.

Day One Agency created the concept and produced this commercial. An independent creative communications agency built for the next 10 years. FastCompany’s 2024 Most Innovative Companies. Ad Age’s 2024 A-List. PRWeek’s Outstanding MidsizeAgency 2024 and 2023. Fresh Thinking. New Energy. Every Day. This is Day One.

Unlike film or editorial shoots, TV commercials move fast. One of the most important thing is that I need to understand the brand, the director’s vision, the DP’s lighting setup, and my talent’s skin tone and then deliver fast. Commercials can feature everyone from celebrities to real people, and I need to make all of them look like the best version of themselves, on camera, under hot lights, possibly outdoors, usually the shoots go on 12+ hours.

I had an amazing time working with Pacifico and Day One Agency as a Los Angeles TV commercial makeup artist, I hope to create a long-lasting relationship with them in the future.
