About Fashion & Editorial Makeup
Why I Love Fashion Makeup
I get such a kick out of working on fashion and editorial shoots. It’s a whole different game from bridal - more room to experiment, break the rules, and just have fun with makeup. I’m all about making bold editorial makeup looks that stand out.
Who This Is For
If you’re a model looking to spice up your portfolio, a photographer with a wild concept, or anyone chasing something out-of-the-box, I’m your person. I do creative makeup for photoshoots and make sure it pops both on camera and in real life.
What I Do
- I’m comfortable with everything from high-fashion makeup artistry to era-based themes. Want geometric glitter blocks? Butterfly wings around the eyes? I’m up for it.
- Vivid colors, metallic lips, sharp lines - you name it, I’ll try it.
- Need a throwback 90’s look with winged liner and bold lips? I can recreate that vibe.
- For models, I’ll help build a mix of looks for your portfolio - smoky eyes, dramatic colors, and always, camera-ready skin techniques so you look flawless under those bright lights.
How I Work
I like keeping things collaborative. If you’ve got a mood board or a wild idea, let’s chat. I’ll make sure the makeup fits the concept, styling, and lighting. Sometimes things get messy, sometimes it’s magic - but it’s always fun.
