FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing system is not complicated and all rates are negotiable within reason.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always staying on top of trends and there are a lot of them. Every couple of years I will attend the large makeup conventions and take part in master classes that are provided.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My passion for makeup artistry and the ability to transform a face began at the age of 10 years old. My grandmother, an Italian bridal fashion designer, would take me on research trips to Rizzoli's bookstore in Washington D.C. We would spend all day looking through the stacks of European high fashion magazines. The photography, styling, makeup and hair designs immortalized on the heavy-duty slick paper were magical and a delightful source of creative inspiration. I'll never forget the moment when I realized that makeup artistry would be the creative passion of my life. It was a Helmut Newton shot of Lisa Taylor in Italian Vogue that did it for me.
