I GOT FACE and FACE to give...
My name is Latesha and I am a MAKEUP ARTIST and MODEL. For all MUA inquiries, please visit me at
www.wix.com/Lipscomb/i-got-face
I am a plus size model (18/20) so breaking into this industry has been a bit of a challange but I love an adventure. And believe it or not, I've been successful w/out having to move to NYC. However, I am looking to become agency represented and I would love to do more commercial print work and fashions shows for companys like Lane Bryant, Ashley Stewart, Fashion Bug, Deb stores and Torrid. I am currently available for bookings in CHICAGO, DETRIOT, ATLANTA and GRAND RAPIDS for modeling and Make-up Artistry work but will travel anywhere in the continental US and abroad! I need to update my portfolio so I am interested in TFP/ TFCD with photographers who beleive beauty comes in many shapes and sizes. Im even open to painting faces for pics.
Now...on the flip side...
As you will note on my resume, I have worked for practically every cosmetic line under the sun and have spent the last 11 years as a MUA for MAC Cosmetics. I have tons of experience doing weddings, fashion shows, photo shoots, and private consultaions. I have even taught a few classes about make-up application in colleges out East and in the Midwest. So if you need a talented Make-up Artist for your next event, please feel free to contact me after perusing my website. Prices may vary.
