Here are some photos from working on San Francisco 49er tight end Vernon Davis. This was an 18 second TV spot that aired during the NBA Finals for Samsung. I had a great time working with everyone, Vernon was as nice as he is handsome! It took a small army and an entire day to put this all together!

Last weekend Laverne Cox started Gay Pride Weekend in San Francisco by having her new wax figure unveiled at Madame Tussaud's in Fisherman's Wharf. She is honored as the first ever transgender star to be immortalized in the exhibit. I had a great time getting to know her while getting her ready for the press conference! She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. :)

Some of the products I used: Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes Eyeliner 2L to line her lips, Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat #2 to highlight the center of her lip, NARS Blush in Taj Mahal

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working a Pre-Party for the Academy Awards. The event started with a gifting suite showcasing products from different vendors, followed by a party at the Beverly Hilton. My hairstylist friend Stacy (OC Hair and Makeup) and I shared a booth, doing hair and makeup for celebrity and press photos.
This event was hosted by Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi and Chris Booke.
Gift bags my assistant Jessica and I put together. Each bag contained some of my favorite products to use in my studio! I selected an assortment of lip liners, cream blushes and lipsticks in various colors.
We also made photo props for the attendees to hold up.
