Riese Lauriat

Highly-experienced pro MUA and licensed Esthetician that can take your portfolio (with the right photographer, of course) from flat to fab in under a few hours.

Whether you're looking for a fresh face, a fierce couture look, dramatic avant-garde or a retro/vintage vibe, I'll work with you, your photographer and stylist to put together a face that makes you stand-out, get noticed and get jobs. And I'll make sure you have fun while you're sitting in the makeup chair.

Oh, did I mention I was fast? That means you'll get more looks out of your session and more diversity in your portfolio, while still maintaining the quality of work models and photographers have learned to expect from me.

Services include body and face contouring, body paint, airbrushing, TV/Broadcast makeup, commercial makeup, and fashion and print.

Have makeup kit and do travel. Available for domestic and international assignments (travel expenses extra.) Currently have home bases in Detroit, Chicago and NYC.

I do very limited trade work these days, but will always consider interesting opportunities when presented. I do open up 2-3 short trade periods each year to work with up-and-coming models, stylists and photographers. To be placed on the wait list for my next trade-window, please contact me.
