Working in Napa: HD makeup: Jeannie Deva

I was hired by Artistworks located in Napa Valley, CA to do makeup for singer and vocal educator, Jeannie Deva. I am the first pro makeup artist to give advice to them for shooting talent in HD.
I'm here with Jeannie, her manager Joe, and vocal student Novi. Here are some pictures from our trip so far!

Bridal Beauty @ Disney Concert Hall

check out these Jimmy's!!


I had the pleasure of meeting my bride, Maria, on Wednesday Aug 31st for her makeup trial...and on the following Saturday we did her wedding makeup!

Maria is a beautiful woman and knew exactly what colors complemented her fair skin and blonde hair, so we wasted no time discussing all her options. She had a beautiful palette of metallics, bronze, and copper. I used NARS eye shadows, Makeup Forever HD Foundation, and Jane Iredale powder to set.
I've never had a bride so keen on what she wanted and easy to work with!

We got ready at the Standard Hotel in dtLA, close to her Disney Concert Hall ceremony site. She had a fabulous hair team doing perfect up-dos while I took care of the makeup!
