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!

this is a face chart I make for brides at the trial to record their colors

August 27 2011- I was just back in town from vacationing in Mexico, so I was still feeling "tranquilo." I wasn't mentally prepared for the weekend traffic & road closures into West Hollywood but the excitement for this wedding gave me the uplift I needed!

I went to middle school and high school with the bride, Dana. We got back in touch through another schoolmate and bride of mine, Valerie (LA bride @ JW Marriott). I always thought Dana was a beautiful girl and she still is! So it was very exciting to do her makeup- I mean look at those eyes!







Thank you to Mi Belle Photography for capturing this day so beautifully for me! Here is the blog entry if you want to see more pictures of their day. OH, and thank you Dana!!
