A gorgeous ad for a mall.


Making up Sherry as an angel.
1983

 


1985

 

2000

as I recall...the anti-makeup look had just arrived...
but it took makeup to effect that look!

 

Editorial fashion covers a wide range of styles,
so I have to be ready to roll with what the photographer sees.


 

For faces photographed at a distance,
shapes and spatial value are considered
differently than for close-up shots.

 

1986


 

Angela's face tells the beautiful truth...that correct makeup for a child's portrait, or in this case, fashion shot, need not look
"all grown up" or garish.

2000


Better than ever. Fashion that is
up-to-the-minute,but still classic.
This is what happens when everyone's
"on the same page."

Inspired by theatrically made up and costumed
actresses in recent movie musicals,

I did makeup two different ways on the same model. First, for an editorial fashion shot, very casual...then, using three pairs of lashes and some individual lashes and styling props such as feathers, mesh gloves, and millinery netting, this ultimately glamorous headshot.

2003


My good friend, a photographer and DP
for film and high-definition video,
included me in a project with another of
his friends, whose goal is toward
her PhD in film. She wanted a modern-day Medusa,
and made up the body, for which
I made up the matching face.
