Western<\/a>. Projects have ranged from basic beauty makeup to heavy prosthetic usage. Working as a makeup artist
\nmy skills have grown tremendously as I\u2019ve learned new techniques to make the best product I can for the screen.<\/p>\nOne of the coolest experiences I had was on the summer internship film, The Eclipse. I worked under an art director to help make their vision of the characters come to life.<\/p>\n
During the making of this film, the actors had to undergo tons of movement and extreme heat and the makeup team had to find ways to work around it. I worked with mediums like gelatin prosthetics, latex paste and homemade fake blood.<\/p>\n
Over time I\u2019ve developed and built the \u201ckit\u201d I use on location. Think of a giant box filled with anything and everything to be prepared for any situation: latex, spirit gum, tons of eyelashes, 20 shades of foundation,
\ndozens of lipstick shades, powders, fake teeth and nails, paint, glitter, blood, and tattoo cover just to name a few of my \u201cmust haves.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always loved the creative outlet that makeup allows me to have and seeing my work on screen is surreal. I can\u2019t wait to see what else I can create while I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
