Nicola Bendrey

As promised — the Torch Singer makeup on the incomparable Emily Mei @emily.ghoul ✨ I came out to assist on Star Trek: Section 31 and had the chance to establish this makeup alongside co-HOD Nicola Bendrey @nixiepixie13 under the supervision of HOD Rocky Faulkner Daily applications were done by Lori Sasaki @ltsmakeup and myself. We had two different beauty looks for her bar performances, and honestly, any opportunity to do glam beauty makeup on an alien is a good day for me. Never passing up a chance to add shimmer, sparkle, and glitter ✨ Big thank you to Rocky & Nicola for having me on this project. 🙏 Prosthetic Design by Glenn Hetrick / Alchemy Studios
