I'm proud to be part of the 5th Mentor List!
This means new MUA's can message me for advice and questions they may have about makeup artistry and the industry in general. I'm always happy to help, we all began as something else.
**At this point, I am taking VERY limited TF work**
At the heart of it all, I am in this for the art. If you have a great idea or something unique that you'd like to create, let me know and we'll work something out.
I tend to book my shoots fairly far in advance (currently booked through to January), but I love to be able to be spontaneous with shooting when/where I can...
**Please message me for rates and availability or if you have a concept that I can't refuse!***
As a freelance painter and artist, I've been creating art of various kinds and in numerous mediums for over 10 years for family, friends and anyone who would hold still long enough. I've been obsessed with makeup and fashion from a very young age, and creating living art is my passion...
While I still work a "regular" job, I am so happy to have this creative outlet. I'm hoping to gain some wonderful and inspiring contacts and collaborators from this site, people willing to grow, experience something new, and perhaps try a walk on the dark side. My main focus is fashion and runway work, but I've done everything from glam to gore, bridal, and everyting in between...
While I do have formal training in makeup, much of what I do is self-taught...I've found that trial and error are the best teachers.
Please also note, I'm not JUST a MUA. Ask anyone I've worked with, I bring accessories, move lights, hold gear, cut back blackberry brambles, art direct/pose/style models, brush lint, wrangle small animals, I've even cooked for a shoot.
If you're looking for a meek and mild MUA, that's not me. The look of the shoot is as important to me as it is to you, and I'll be involved as much as you let me.
I've got tons of ideas that I'd love to create as well...I just need someone to paint and someone to shoot...
I'm VERY interested in shoots for ALT/Fetish models, the more avant garde the concept, the wilder the makeup, the better the photo...I'm up for anything.
