About Me

Photo by Sam Pickart Photography

I am a certified makeup artist based in the Brooklyn/Queens area, but am able to travel. Below you will find examples of my work, my Instagram gallery, as well as the range of services I offer.

My work has been in feature films, webseries, music videos, photoshoots, portrait photography, and NYFW 2021. I have done celebrity glam for red carpets, wedding makeup, and headshot HMU for actors.

My special interests in this work include focusing on queer stories, creating horror movies, and helping people get ready to have their portraits taken.

If you would like me to do your makeup for an upcoming film project, headshots, photoshoots or anything in between, contact me via e-mail or DM today for a quote!
