✅A fan for me or the model to cool down with
✅Tissues/paper towels to blot off sweat or oil
✅Setting spray to fix over powdered makeup
✅Silicone primer for eyeliner & lip liner fixes
✅Makeup hoods to keep the makeup in place and clothes mess free when changing outfits

These things keep me efficient, protect the look, and keep the talent feeling comfortable.

Love when a model books me for a fun look 🥰

I get to get my creative juices flowing and it just feels so fun and therapeutic. Also doesn’t hurt when the model gives great conversation and you’re just chatting and hyping eachother up 😅

This is my second time working with jessthaicon and the growth that we have seen in eachother since the first time has been amazing. There’s nothing stopping us 💪

Can’t wait to keep creating more magic. 🪄 
DM me if you’re ready for a glam moment too! Makeup artist based in Los Angeles and Orange County, CA.

Soft glam + glowing mama energy ✨

This was a client that hired me for her maternity shoot. We kept the look natural yet still glam. A soft smokey eye that will show up beautifully on an outdoor shoot with radiant skin and I even added an extra glow to her chest. 💕

If you’ve got a maternity shoot or special moment coming up, let’s make sure your glam is unforgettable. Makeup artist located in Los Angeles and Orange County, CA.

Behind the scenes: how I tailored this makeup look for a jewelry shoot 📸

Thank you glambyziggy and _xahlia for bringing me on 🙌

For this Jewelery shoot, I wanted the makeup to match the shine of the jewelry without stealing the spotlight. Instead of a classic black smokey eye, I added danessamyricksbeauty chrome flakes in confetti to give the eyes dimension and sparkle. This made everything feel cohesive on camera 💎

✨ Pro tip: When creating makeup looks for product-focused shoots, think about harmony. The makeup should complement the piece being highlighted so the product stays the star.

Not a magazine publication coming out of this collab 🤭

The team came together to create something fun for our portfolios. I had already worked with courtstylist and classx_k before so I was already comfortable and confident the photos were going to be 🔥🔥

gogaphoto and hairstylist_shine_ were new to me but we instantly clicked. After seeing the looks in real life, we decided to try and get published in a magazine. Now we are featured in vigourmagazine 😍

Now I have my portfolio updated, new connections, and my work featured in a magazine. All from a collab 😊

POV: You booked me as the makeup artist for your music video glam 🎬💄

Here’s what goes into creating a smooth, camera-ready makeup experience for talent:

✨ We start with prepping mood-boards, timelines, and creative direction so we’re aligned with the overall vision and there’s no stress on set.

💡 On shoot day, I bring a mini studio setup, full touch-up set bag, and lighting knowledge to make sure the makeup stays camera-ready across every scene and setup.

🎬 For this look, I used a mix of longwear and HD-friendly products to build sculpted skin, clean lines, and bold color that reads beautifully on screen.

When your production needs glam that supports your storytelling, I’m your makeup artist 👩‍🎨

POV: Your bride wants a pop of color to match her dress… so you give her soft glam with a pink shimmer that shifts in the light ✨💗

My beautiful bride gauryvermaphoto has trusted me with her birthday glam and her branding clients and this time, she chose me for her own wedding ceremony. 🥹💕

She wanted a creative look that still felt romantic and timeless, so we played with an iridescent pink shifting shadow that gave her a dreamy, standout moment. ✨

This glam turns heads, photographs like a dream, and stays flawless through the ceremony, dancing, and every tear. 💍

If you want something fun and timeless, you’re my kind of bridal client.

Every look starts with a vision. ✨

I come with my kit ready and my client’s moodboard on top of mind. Before we start glam, I pull up the inspo on my tablet and ask: “What parts of these looks do you love most?”

It helps me lock in the look before I even pick up a brush. I also keep the moodboard up while I work so I can refer back to it. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in nailing the final look 🙌

Ever wonder how the glam stays fresh hours into a shoot? It’s not luck, it’s me, keeping an eye on the monitor 👀

I don’t just do the makeup and hang out. I stay on set, ready to jump in the second there’s shine, sweat, or a smudge.

Because when the talent looks good all day, everything runs smoother.

Here is how I get expensive skin for editorial shoots as a professional makeup artist✨

1. To prep the skin, I first go in with a radiance pad from firstaidbeauty. I then go in with a facial mist like the jasonwubeauty mister-wu setting spray. Finally I go in with the glow serum by danessamyricksbeauty and embryolisseusa lait creme concentrate to lock everything in. This helps the makeup glide on to the skin beautifully 😍

2. When I apply foundation, I use a fluffy brush and pack foundation into my brush. Then I go in lightly on to the skin and build up where extra coverage is needed. Finally, I blend everything in with a beauty sponge. This creates a skin like finish that I love for editorial shoots 🙌

3. For foundation, I stick with a natural finish and sometimes even a dewy finish foundation. This helps the skin look radiant, healthy and editorial-ready ✅

4. To create dimension, I use cream bronzer, cream contour, cream blush and liquid highlighter (if needed). This helps add natural depth without being overly done. ✅ 

5. To set the skin, I use a loose setting powder with a powder puff. Before applying the powder, I press the powder into the puff on the back of my hand. This gives me an even distribution of the powder and prevents cakiness. I then go in with a facial mist to get rid of the powdery look, then go in with more powder under the eyes and where ever else needs extra powder. Finally, I’ll go in with a fixing spray so the makeup can last for hours. 😎

ChatGPT said you should hire me 🤷‍♀️ 😅

This is what it said: 

💄 Why Would Someone Hire You as Their Makeup Artist?

1. You’re Not Just a Makeup Artist — You’re a Creative Partner

You show up with the vision, preparation, and flexibility that productions need. Whether it’s a commercial, music video, or editorial, you understand the assignment and elevate it with intentional glam rooted in the moodboard and direction.

2. You Deliver Camera-Ready Results

You understand lighting, studio environments, and on-camera skin better than most. Clients trust you because your work photographs and films beautifully — no over-powdering, no texture-enhancing, just flawless, skin-first artistry.

3. You’re a Calm Force On Set

You bring good energy and calm professionalism to every set — which matters when tensions run high or timelines get tight. You keep your space tidy, your touch-ups precise, and your talent comfortable.

4. You Think Ahead

You’re not just clocking in for makeup. You come prepared — mini studio setup, reference photos, touch-up kit, tattoo cover, light hair fixes — so the production doesn’t have to worry about loose ends.

5. Your Portfolio Speaks for Itself

The proof is in the results: models you’ve glammed are getting booked, producers are coming back, and your work is landing on brand campaign decks.
