Makeup Artist

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Bridal Makeup Artist, Freelance Makeup Artist for Print Photography, Makeup Artist for Film, and Music Videos. I also do Makeup Consultations, lessons, and makeup parties for young girls ages 5 and up. I did makeup at a tea party for an 11 year old's Birthday and it was a blast.

Q. Describe three recent jobs you've completed.

A. I recently worked on a short film called, "Satanic Puppies," a horror/comedy for the Google Network that will be launching shortly. We got to shoot in a pet shop, it was amazing!

I did an engagement shoot that was so fun to be a part of because there was a sort of vintage feel to the styling of the shoot and I very much thrive on that old school Hollywood feel. I love to see love and photo shoots always capture the essence and beauty of it.

I also freelance for an amazing company called M.A.C Cosmetics. I am able to extend my craft in working at different M.A.C Counters in Los Angeles and Ventura County. I love working with different demographics of people and it strengthens my ability to be versatile in my makeup style.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Contacting through email is always the best way to get a quick and straight forward response. www.thelizkan@gmail.com

I also have a website at www.lizkan.com

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I am extremely good at investigating to my clients to find exactly what their needs are. I understand customer satisfaction is among the most important things in running a business so I make sure I communicate my job responsibilities the best I can. I absolutely love what I do, to see people transform before my eyes and know I have made someone's day.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. What I like most about my job is the diversity I get to experience on a regular bases. There are many different aspects to makeup artistry and I am blessed to be able to learn and work with some of the best people i know. I love that I can work on a wedding one day at The Spanish Hills Country Club, and the next day be in Downtown L.A with a small, lovely cast and crew working on a Soap Opera web series.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Clients most commonly ask me my rates for weddings, and day rates for film. I cannot give a complete estimate until i further investigate the wants and needs of the client. I do, however, give discounted rates for any referrals or Bridal Parties of 5+.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. I absolutely love the transformation, physically and mentally, that my clients get to enjoy. Seeing themselves in a different light brings confidence to face the day, and I've found also empowers them to live life more openly.
