Hello & Welcome! :-)
I am a Vancouver based freelance makeup & hair artist, looking to branch out and do fashion/commercial/ editorial style photoshoots. I have worked in the makeup industry since 2003 doing mostly beauty, bridal and fashion makeup/hair after I graduated from Blanche Macdonald's Makeup Artistry Diploma program.
I created Kiss Couture & Beauty, with my partner, Deena Safi in 2005 and since then worked on numerous Indian brides, fashionistas, and grads in the Lower Mainland. Check out my website for some of my work:

Also, I have worked in the retail industry - MAC (short stint) and at Make Up Forever. Working at both places was lots of fun, you learn so much about new products and get to do exciting projects and events. So, I have lots of different types of experience and I love to try different things.
If you have an idea for a shoot, lets get together - send me a message on MM. I am open to TFP/TFCD shoots if they add to my portfolio, but would really appreciate a kit fee, and any paid assignments are fantastic!
Hugs xoxo,
Paula!!!
