Gabriela Soares - Makeup Artist

Mayhem #468346
Makeup Artist

About me
Gabriela Soares worked her way into this industry as a photographic and runway model in the Toronto fashion scene. With a great passion and love for editorial-style shoots and the desire to express herself behind-the-scenes in more creative ways, Gabriela self-enrolled in the Gemini Makeup Artistry program in 2006 and soon after became certified as a Professional Makeup Artist.

Shortly after, Gabriela got hired as a beauty expert and continued to learn by attending extensive training on all major cosmetic lines such as Lancome, Dior, Guerlain, Smashbox, Benefit, Shiseido, Biotherm, Cover FX, Vichy, Neostrada, La Roche-Posay, Lise Watier and Clarins.

With the thirst for even more knowledge, Gabriela enrolled in and completed the Complections International 6-month comprehensive makeup artistry program in the heart of downtown Toronto. Upon completion of the program, she became fully competent in fashion photographic and runway makeup, theatrical makeup, client beauty makeup, film/television makeup, photographic and studio hairstyling, facial hair knotting for film and theatre, and prosthetics.

In the past few years, Gabriela has worked on various fashion shows and events including the Brazilian Carnaval Ball, the Toronto ABA show and the Ms. Universe Canada pageant and has done commercial print work for Sheridan College and Qatalyst Magazine. Her Film and television experience ranges from a commercial for La Crème clothing store, to the short film “The Cello Tutor”, to a documentary for Bravo network.

Gabriela has a well-rounded and comprehensive knowledge of the fashion and makeup world and loves to share her skills with students and clients alike.

Love your Barbie story and your work BTW. It reminds me of when I was a kid, incessantly drawing a hand maybe a hundred times over, changing it, shading it, looking at it... I must of drove my parents nuts not to mention broke with all the paper I went through.

I'm not doing anything exciting right now.

I'm shooting TFCD with Renee (Mayhem #779743) this Sunday at her request, I'm still not sure what direction I'm going in on that shoot.

I have Natalia (Mayhem #1188394) scheduled for a TFCD on May 24th, and Renata (Mayhem #1083818) scheduled the next day for another TFCD.

I'm planning a TFCD shoot with Joanne Bimm (Mayhem #1208520) that is a little more complex on June 07 with a rain date of June 08, that might be rather interesting but stinky as we are shooting in a area with lots of graffiti but beside a rather smelly creek.

I would love to collaborate with you, are you looking for any certain styles.

I would love to play with gold leaf more, something dark and slightly naughty like this:

http://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic_id=49c0a1dfece0f&date=2009-03-18%2000:25:20&id=490318&pid=11269263&the_count=&group_id=&ua=

Only we can't stick the models head in hot water to curl her hair, I've been told I'm not allowed to do that. Is that something that would interest you, the gold leaf, not the head boiling.

Cheers,
Grant.

Hi there,

I'm doing a little scouting for the Honest Ed’s 60th anniversary Fashion Show and I saw your work and I think you would be great for our show.

Honest Ed is a Landmark of Toronto that has been around since 1948. The store has appeared in popular culture products, being seen in several films and television shows shot in Toronto. For example, Honest Ed's was featured in the film The Long Kiss Goodnight. Part of the story in the third volume of Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim comic book series takes place at Honest Ed's.

The show is going to be a Huge Publicity event in Toronto.

We are currently seeking Make Up artist for the show and we are holding our interview – meeting session on June 7th & 8th at:

Location:
Second Cup
475 Yong Street
Toronto, ON
M4Y1X7

If interested Please contact Arshin Aranha at stylist.artist@gmail.com with a few pictures of your work.

The Show Date is July 20th – 2008 – Sunday
For further details about the show please contact Arshin Aranha at stylist.artist@gmail.com or 647-233- 7671.

Hey!

Thanks for taging me...we'll need to chat more about a creative shoot in January. Once the craziness of December is over.

Not sure if you'd be interested, but I noticed a job posting for the Stratford Shakespearean theatre looking to fill a MUA/Wigs assistant position for this coming season.

Hey, nice port. I saw your Gabriella photos, very nice. Is that you in your main pic?

If Kitchener is not too far from Thornhill and/or Toronto area we can do a shoot sometime. I'm not sure what your doll idea was, you want to make people loook like dolls, right? I dont think that part was explained, but that sounds cool :)
