Fishy Little Liars

Yesterday I did makeup for two of the cast members of Pretty Little Liars for the promo they were shooting for MuchMusic. I had the pleasure of painting the faces of Ashley Benson (Hanna) and Shay Mitchell (Emily). Another artist on set, Mila, has these great Chanel glasses that she gets everyone to try on, and then documents it.

Here are Shay and I doing our "fishyfaces"!

Shay= sexy fishyface:


Lucky= WTF fishyface:


it was a fun day!

Bedouin Haircut

New video from Bedouin Soundclash. No, I wasn't on set with them in India, but I did cut Jay's hair for this.

serenaded by Nicole

for those of you who don't know, i call MTV Live's Nicole "talent" and she calls me "makeup". stupid nicknames that just stuck and have gone on for years... here's Nicole singing to me in the makeup room:



sorry for cutting you off, talent.

holidays!

just a quick post with a link to an Eye Weekly article i'm in. check it out here... ironically, i also did the makeup for the headshots that Dan Levy and Amber Mac submitted for the same article!

i also recently did a makeup test with the new hosts of MuchMusic's brand new show New.Music.Live. ... turns out Phoebe is a big fan of Paul "the intern" so i surprised her and brought him in to meet her! she was shocked to say the least...


i also ran into fellow blogger Arianne who does The Glitter Geek at the MAC Pro store today!


happy holidays everyone! put on some red lipstick and false lashes already!!

special thanks to Danielle Kil for coming out last minute to do Krystal's hair.

Special Effects Legend

today at the Toronto IMATS i had the pleasure of meeting Tom Savini. i told MTV Movie Night about Tom's speaking engagement there so i also got to hang out and listen while they interviewed him. it was really interesting to hear his opinions on CGI vs traditional effects makeup... kind of dying to go to his special effects school now. pretty inspiring.

here's me with Mr. Savini:


some memorable quotes:

"You must make your dreams come true because otherwise they will haunt you."

"The more you do, the more you can do."

"The less you have (time, budget, etc.) the more creative you become."

it's hard to believe this dude is in his 60's. i certainly admire his career and hope you check out some of his work if you aren't familiar already.
