There’s something special about shooting in black & white.
Every shadow matters. Every wave, every lip, every detail has to tell the story without color to lean on. 🎞️
Getting to do hair + makeup for this film noir piece in the Berkshires of Massachusetts felt like stepping into another era for a little while. Makeup&Hair by Me 😊

Getting to do Hair & Makeup on this beauty for a film noir project felt genuinely special. 🖤
Shooting in black & white is rare, and every detail matters in a completely different way… texture, contrast, shape, light.
This is just one of many moments from the hard work, long days, and beautiful creative chaos we experienced in the Berkshires while filming in Lenox. More to come. 🎞️

She's in her early 70s. No shared language between us - she speaks French, I speak face.
I laid her down. Started mapping.
Her brow bone was prominent. Which means: if I follow a standard brow mapping formula - measure, mark, apply with the standardized approach - I don't get youth. I get the opposite. Cookie cutter brow design on a prominent brow bone pulls the eye straight to it. The hollow underneath deepens. The bone reads harder. The face reads older.
So I stopped. Sat her up. Had her talk to me, laugh, move her face.
Because after 26 years and thousands of faces, I've learned: the ruler gives you measurements. The face gives you the truth.
What she needed was an arch with no sharp peak - soft, so it didn't draw toward the bone. Placed so the overall shape flows over the prominence rather than sitting above it, which would only make the bone read harder. The tail follows that same logic: not drooping, not lifted too high - just enough to continue the flow. Elegant. Not sharp.
That's the difference between a brow that softens a face and one that accidentally hardens it.
Twenty-six years for a two-millimeter decision that changes everything.

✨ Another day, another event. Another makeup, another hair-do.
Be honest—if you could have someone show up and get you ready every single morning (brows, makeup, hair, the whole thing)… would you say yes or no?
Personally, I’m a yes please kind of girl. There’s just something about sitting back, sipping your coffee, and letting someone else work their magic before the day begins.
Would you do it every day, or save it for special occasions only? 💄💇♀️

Little moments in time, all the hard work pays off for that one night.
The glitz, the glam, the makeup, the hair, & a beautiful dress …
A place where you can look back and say … I did that. 🎉🏆
Being Emmy nominated is a big feat in one’s career. I was so honored to be able to help one stunt woman’s nomination feel special.
