SERVICES
Editorial
Editorial makeup and hair has its own specifics from start to finish. This type of service starts way before the photo shoot itself. Creative Director, producer or buyer has its own vision that has to come to life with help of creative artists.
Everyone in the team has its own purpose and my task is to meet and discuss the plan and creative goal. Develop and design Makeup and Hair Look, submit to Directors and only when looks confirmed, everything is ready for an actual shoot. One of my most important responsibilities besides the MUAH itself is to assist on set and make sure the model looks her 100%!
Film and TV
Fascinating world of Movie industry always seems so upscale and glamorous but don’t be fooled:). Behind that beautiful movie scene with perfect faces and fantastic heroes stands the whole crew of hard working, a little tired but happy people whose working hours are 14-16 a day, who live and breath production sets and dream of “rolls” and “cuts” and who patiently waiting for the “Premier Day” just to feel that proud moment of tension and excitement one more time.
The key task for a Makeup and Hair Artist is to understand exactly the style and time period and the story of the film. Serious preparation is the key. Breakdowns, mood boards, meetings and shopping. Communication with other art departments is essential and will help to visualize the whole picture and better prepare for the Actor’s looks.
Photo sessions
Makeup and Hair for a Classic Indoor or Outdoor Photo session has its own preparations and steps to take. Communication with the photographer or a client before the shoot as important as on the day itself. If Makeup and Hair Trial didn’t happen previously I will make sure to communicate “the look” while the client in my chair. My biggest suggestion is to hire for full day, it will help to keep an eye on the client through the whole session and do touch ups and fixes and make sure no makeup ooops happened during the wardrobe change or craft breaks.
Normally I would wear multiple hats on the set such as Makeup and Hair Artist, Photographer’s Assistant, Wardrobe Assistant, Personal Assistant, Creative Director(if one needed), behind the scenes photo and video capture.
I guarantee the best value for the price of a one makeup artist and one great professional and ambitious production partner for the day!
