#FYC MUAHS Guild Awards Nomination - Best Contemporary Makeup on a TV Special: Wicked One Wonderful Night. Please consider voting for us, voting ends Dec 19. 💚💕 We had no rehearsal, 16 amazing makeup artists covering 75 talent, and one look on each talent to last the whole show with multiple wardrobe changes for the dancers. These dancers were incredible and put in WORK on this special. Designing one look to fit 4 intensive performances and outfits was a bit of puzzle but I think we nailed it with an individualized, color coordinated, youthful but fashionable makeup look. The Choir was up front and center, and our wonderful Orchestra was also featured so we had a specific looks created for them as well. I hope the world appreciated the insane talent that was involved in the making of this show, and I’m honored to have been Keying this with @brucegrayson leading the team. We don’t really have many photos to highlight the work we did, but huge shoutout to the incredible makeup team who rose to a challenge and did it with grace and talent: @jillcady_makeup @savvystarbeauty @rochelleuribe @angelamoosmakeup @seanconklin_mua @beautybylevi Silvia Polanco @juliehasit @k_co_w @melhweaver @___brenna_ @farahbunch @patti4beauty @labeautymakeup #local706 #muahsawards #wickedonewonderfulnight

#Turo #OpenTheDoorToExtraordinary Campaign … this might be my favorite commercial I’ve done. Thank you Miles and AJ and SixTwentySix for the best year of projects with all the people I adore. Congrats to everyone for absolutely making magic happen! So many hair and makeup changes on the fly on this one, I’m so fulfilled by the impact it had and the fact that commercials with Miles and AJ allow me to get away from the typical “no makeup” look and lean into a more editorial or character vibe. Thank you for always supporting your team and cheering us on when we nail something that took a bit more effort.
