As a professional makeup artist working in this industry for the past 10 years, I’ve had time to work on multiple projects, create beauty on various faces and be a part of amazing teams. Here is a glimpse of that body of work.

Beauty Editorials

This is my fun place. This is where I get to create beauty looks I’ve had in my head or dreamt of. This is where creative minds work together to create a story, a vision and where I get to unapologetically use color.

Campaigns

A campaign is always an experience. I’ve had the chance to work abroad with teams of various campaigns, from beauty, to jewelry to sports and even menswear.

It’s always a different experience, a different team and a different result. Here are a few of my favorite ones so far.

Celebrities

It’s always a surreal moment to work with that person on your screens, on your tv or in your magazines. I always have a little pinch me moment when I see, to this day, some of these photos circulate online.

 

E-commerce

Mastering the art of Ecomm is a gift. It’s long days, a lot of products to shoot and a different face every time. It’s exciting and also a challenge, to up your game and work on different features everyday, but I love it.

Portraits

Creating portfolios for experienced models, new faces or even everyday people is one of my strengths. I enjoy making someone glow and get them leaving with a look they love and rock with confidence.

It’s also surreal to be there for someone’s first photoshoot, I always take a moment to cherish them.

Weddings

Each and everyone of my brides holds a special place. I chose who I work with and love the idea of being there for someone’s big day. It’s always so real and authentic, a memorable day.

The reveal is the best part.
