Episode 15 of ‘The Pitt’ involved us cranking through very fast makeups for the waiting room. These makeups had to be under 20 mins and there were a lot of them haha.
Thank you so much to our incredibly talented dept. head for having me in BG, this show was such a blast and as a medical tv show fan I was in heaven 🤣
Also to for being such a bad ass BG supervisor! You’re so talented, kind and encouraging and I adored working alongside you.

So it finally happened! 🥳
I am now a proud member of the local 706 makeup union. This has been one hell of a journey… and then some IYKYK 😅 12 years in the making and finally I listened to my friends who encouraged me to submit my 60/60/60 and it turned out I had them all along 🥳😂
Big thank you to those that have hired me, recommended me and had me on their teams 🥰💕 I know the industry is in a weird spot right now - but we are a bunch of masochists for working in this industry in the first place - we always evolve and survive ✨
I’m now available for union and non union work

✨ Old age makeup ✨ when asked me to come help do an old age makeup with her I couldn’t say no. Old age makeups although challenging are one of my personal favorites. Thanks to for coming in clutch with the fast turn around of prosthetic pieces we needed. Swipe right to see the before.
Thank you Tess for having me come and play! It was so much fun 🥰💕

Had the opportunity to work with the insanely talented artists and on the latest music video “I guess it’s love?” Music video where we did 3 age transformations. A wild ride with some fun time restrictions😂😅

Plus I got to work with a talented bunch of cast and crew! This was a fun one!
