The lashes in the shot in the lower right hand corner were four pairs of lashes stacked together to create a unique shape. The lashes were custom fitted to the
model’s eyes, but unfortunately, they were also very heavy. So, the model was made to keep her eyes closed in between each shot.
As an artist, I believe you can use almost any products to transform a face into a work of art. Whether it is candy sprinkles, sugar, feathers, or rhinestones, it is all
about thinking outside of the box to create spectacular and unique images!

Meeting Paul changed the course of my life. If it weren’t for him, I would not be in this business that I have come to love with the same passion I used to have as an
opera singer. We developed a distinctive style and worked so frequently together that we learned the art of making a powerful image. Both of us understand the
basics of a great painting: composition, shape, light, color balance, emotion, and expression. The camera, lighting, and makeup are the paintbrushes. The set
becomes a stage, where as director, I can mold the performances...
Our advice to young makeup artists: practice, practice, practice. Look, learn, create relationships, and put yourself out there.

MAKEUP for MAGAZINES
The difference between doing basic makeup and doing makeup that is over the top for highly styled fashion shows or magazine work is thinking outside the box.
Doing the unexpected — whether it’s as simple as not putting on mascara or brows to a finished face or strengthening the brows to become a full blown
experimental piece — is the difference between “basic” beauty and editorial freedom. It’s all about being confident enough to experiment outside of your comfort
zone.
