Halloween Makeup Tutorial - 1DCYBERPUNK

Hi Everyone! This is my first halloween makeup look. I wanted to do something a little different and play around with makeup a bit. I recently got a very interesting tweet from a superfan of the  music group, One Direction.  If you guys haven't heard of them, they are the winners of X Factor UK.  You can check them out here http://www.onedirectionmusic.com
So their superfan, 1DCYBERPUNK sent me a message on twitter to collaborate with her and do a video tutorial based on her makeup and her look.  I've never done a look like that before and I thought it would be really fun to try.  You can check out 1DCYBERPUNK's website here http://www.onedirectionmusic.com/1DCP
Hope you guys like it and have fun trying it out!

2 Shoots - One Photographer

I recently did a couple of different shoots with photographer Pooya Nabei. The shoots are completely different and that's what I love about them. It's always so fun to play around with hair and makeup and try different things; thats why I love doing shoots like this. The first shoot was all about COLOR - we used color for everything, the lighting, the clothes, the makeup. The model Renata did a beautiful job with her expressions and movements in this shoot.
The second shoot was the opposite - black, white and gray but still equally as beautiful. I kept the hair and makeup more simple and so was the wardrobe and lighting. Our model, Kendall's expressions and movements were very subtle but still made a strong impact.

For both shoots, I got to work with the wonderful stylist, Krista Sung.

I've also included some behind the scenes from our colorful shoot.

I hope you guys enjoy these images as much as I do.

Shoot 1 - Color

Shoot 2 - Black & White

Beautiful Brides

One of the things I love most about my job is making my clients incredibly happy on one of the most important days of their lives. My recent bride Amanda looked so beautiful as a bride, she took my breathe away. Knowing that I helped her look and feel her best on her wedding is such fulfilling feeling.

Here are some pics from Amanda's wedding. Makeup for the bride and bridesmaids was done by me and hair was done by the fabulous Nadia Albano.

New Work - Fashion Editorial

I did a photo shoot a few weeks ago with photographer Eydis Einarsdottir, someone I've been wanting to work with for a while so I was very excited when I got the chance to. The shoot was shot at Sugar Studios, one of the top studios in Vancouver. It was a very fun, creative collaboration and I got to work with stylist Krista Sung, who did a fabulous job with the styling. Makeup and hair were both kept a bit more simple for this shoot to offset the elaborate wardrobe and accessories.

Become a makeup artist

One of the most common questions I get asked is how I got started as a makeup artist. At the beginning of my career, I went to Vancouver Community College for the makeup artistry certificate program. It was a wonderful experience and set me on my path of becoming a makeup artist. I recently had the pleasure of doing a interview with VCC and you can read the full article here http://www.vcc.ca/about-vcc/news.cfm?NEWS_ID=7578

For anyone interested in the Makeup Artistry Certificate Program available at VCC you can contact the school directly to find out more.
