Editorial: Molly & Casey

This photo shoot with real life couple Molly Burnett and Casey Deidrick; both actors on One Life To Live; was so much fun. Molly and Casey had so much chemistry that just spilled over into all of the shots. We shot at an amazing house in Beverly Hills that had all original decor from the 40's. Photographer Elisabeth Caren worked her magic. Love these images!

Backstage: Lloyd Klein Fashion Show at The Beverly Hills Hotel

Last week I worked at a fashion show at the Beverly Hills Hotel for designer Lloyd Klein. I worked with a great team for both makeup and hair. We focused on really clean dewy skin, with bronzy contouring of the cheekbones, natural false lashes, and bright lips. Along with my normal Makeup Forever and LORAC favorites, we used skin care and lip color by Sisley. The designs for the show were beautiful. Very wearable and chic. I also loved the limited edition Fendi sunglasses the models wore. Theres only 8 pairs in the country and we had 4!

Press: Malibu Magazine Editorial & Interview on my Favorite Products

Recently I did a photo shoot with Marie Ferro, an amazing hairstylist in Malibu who owns Marie's Hair Studio. It was a "hair makeover" piece for Malibu Magazine.

Check out some of my product recommendations in the article, and peep Cleo's gorgeous new lavender highlights.

Teaser for Michael Canitrot Music Video

This week I wrapped filming on an awesome music video for a french DJ named Michael Canitrot. His song When You Got Love is about to drop, and the video is gonna be incredible!

Our model Amra was incredibly gorgeous - I cant wait to show you guys the final video! Below is a teaser vid for the song which Michael shot in Paris - check it out!

Song for All the Girls - Cisco Adler / TalkboyTV

Song for all the Girls (by Cisco Adler feat. Chris Young The Rapper) was such a fun project to work on. It was a short film / music video produced by TalkboyTV (www.TalkboyTV.com). The vid had a 70's Grindhouse /cult slasher flick vibe. I got to work with three gorgeous models on this shoot - Supermodel Lydia Hearst, Barbara Stoyanoff, and Melissa Brown. All three girls were incredibly beautiful and so much fun to work with. Traci Henningson, who works at Salon Roman and is also my hairstyling partner, did an incredible job on the hair, and Ben Hardie did wonders with the SFX makeup. The final product turned out amazing! Such a great group to work with - cast and crew :).

Said it all Before - Rock Version

Heres a remixed rock version of Aaron Smith's Said it All Before. We shot another vid for this one, also with Caroline D'Amore. The footage on the train tracks towards the end is my favorite part of this vid ... love the sun flares and golden, glowy makeup.

Beach Editorial

New pics from a beach editorial with photographer Courteney Nearburg. Shot in Malibu at El Pescador. Both of the models had a very classic look - so I kept the makeup light and glowy with a little bit of a vintage twist. A hint of lavender of her eyes blended with soft pewter and lashes worked perfectly. I loved the hair and wardrobe styling as well - chic and beautiful.

Caroline D'Amore - Sticks & Stones / TalkboyTV

Caroline D'Amore and I both grew up in Malibu - so I had met her prior to working with her for the first time on Aaron Smith's Said It All Before music video. Caroline has had a very successful career as a model, actress, and DJ. I was so excited when she was cast in Aaron's video because we had always wanted to work together. She loved her look for Aaron's video, and she asked me to work with her for her debut music vid, Sticks & Stones. The theme for the video was like a 90's high school movie - think Jawbreaker, Mean Girls, Etc. We did a couple really fun looks - I love the silver sparkly eyes at the end with her hot Alice + Olivia mini.

Aaron Smith - Said It All Before / TalkboyTV

Said It All Before was the first music video I worked on with Aaron Smith. It was the first single off his mixtape LoveStoned which dropped late last year. Aaron Smith (also known as Shwayze) is an artist that does chill Cali hip hop / party music. We shot this video at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in Hollywood. Aaron is one of my favorite artists to work with - fun, energetic, and always in a good mood. Caroline D'Amore also starred in the video with him. Check it out :

Music Video: 88 Keys & Kanye West "Stay Up(Viagra)"

Recently I worked on a music video shoot for the song "Stay Up(Viagra)" by 88 Keys and Kanye West with Decon Media, a production company based out of New York. Director Jason Goldwatch came out to LA to direct. We did a still shot of the guys before they went into Special Effects Makeup with Tony Gardner to be transformed into their alter egos, Clifford and Rufus. Then I did hair and makeup for the girls, Chaunda Mason and Dominica Westerling. We started at McCadden Space in Hollywood, then shot on the fly, driving all over Hollywood and basically just capturing 88 & Kanye partying with the girls. We ended up at a motel on Sunset, next to a strip club, around midnight..... MTV News followed us for a behind the scenes special...video below.

And heres the final product:

Editorial: Clay & Sara at Wildcard Boxing Club

I did hair and makeup for an editorial shoot with photographer Dana Hargitay recently. We shot on location at Wildcard Boxing Club in the heart of Hollywood. The models were Clay with Ford and Sara with LA Models. It was a crazy environment inside the tiny boxing club, filled with sweaty boxers. They didn't clear out for the shoot so we had to work around them, and it definitely kept the energy authentic! I added a black eye on Clay halfway through. Fun shoot all the away around!

Beauty Editorial: Sophie

These are some images from a shoot I did with Sophie, a model with Vision. I loved Sophie's beautiful skin, freckles, and bone structure. A makeup artist's dream face! We shot at a cute house in the hollywood hills. Sophie surprised us by getting in the pool with her dress on!

Music Video: Will.I.Am & Evidence "For Whom The Bells Toll"

I got to work on another fun music video , "For Whom The Bells Toll", by Evidence featuring Will.I. Am, Phonte & Blu. This was a song off Evidence's solo record, which he is currently on tour for. He also performs with the group Dialated Peoples. We shot at a beautiful (but slightly creepy) mortuary in Alta Dena, Ca. Heres some behind the scenes video:

And the final cut:

These are some images from a beauty shoot we did recently with photographer Tim Sabatino.

DirecTV Commercial: Year of the Rabbit

This is a short film / commercial that I worked on for DirecTV. It was a really interesting idea that came out very well. We shot over two days; one day at a green screen studio in Santa Monica and the other at a space downtown. Take a look:

Fashion: Astrid

I did model Astrid Bryan's makeup for a fashion shoot with photographer Dana Hargitay. We shot on location at a beautiful art deco style penthouse apartment in Los Feliz. We loved the patterned, mirrored wallpaper and used it as a gorgeous background for our shot.

Editorial:Barret Swatek

I did actress Barret Swatek's makeup for an Editorial shoot recently. Tim Ou was the hairstlyist, and we shot at an adorable house in West Hollywood. Barret was beautiful and so much fun to work with.
