Recently, I was back in Will Star’s studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for a portrait session of a musician/actor/playwright. She had recently gone from long hair to a bob and wanted to be sure her professional headshots accurately reflected her look. We did two makeup looks, a “natural” look, which I’ll be discussing here and a second more “dramatic” look. As…

Lewiston New York Wedding
This past weekend, I had the honor of not only being a guest at VM and PJM’s nuptials in beautiful Lewiston, New York, but was asked to do the bride and bridal party’s makeup. When I look back on my own wedding day, the “getting ready process,” was one of the most special parts of the day…
Studio Portrait Session
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with the very talented Will Star at his studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for a portrait session of a client who wanted headshots for her upcoming residency applications.

Sultry Saturday Makeover
SDP and I have been chatting about me doing her makeup for her upcoming baby shower. So, when she stopped by earlier today for a spontaneous Saturday afternoon visit, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to do her trial. SDP was meeting with a few friends for dinner, so I gave her a more…
MY Makeup
For as long as I can remember and certainly since High School, friends would ask me to do their makeup for events – prom, Sweet 16’s, birthdays, weddings, etc. I can recall the days when my best girl friends would come over 3 hours early and line up outside the bathroom to get their faces done…
