Makeup Artist Resumes

Lately I've been seeing that most newbie makeup artist are a bit confused on how their resume's should look.  I understand the confusion and trust me, I was once in that position.  So, for all the lovely aspiring makeup artists out there who want to know where to start but don't quite have all the super clients, here are some examples of what a pro resume should look like and what to do if you don't quite have enough material to put and make a resume.


Resume Examples:
Alexis Vogel
Liza Zomer
Jamie Weiss
And mine: Yisell Santos


Beefy Bio:
If you feel that you don't have enough to put on your resume, then wait it out till you get more clients.  As an alternative, you can always put some of the work you've done in your bio section.  Play with wording to make it sound really good but DO NOT, I repeat, do not lie.  It WILL come back to bite you in the bottom and it's not pretty.  


And the BEST awesome example of how to put "resume content" into your bio goes to:  Deanna Bell.  This has it all!  Experience, resume content and telling them how awesome you are without boasting.  Mine is pretty cool too so feel free to take a look my Bio section as well.


I hope I've helped to clarify some things and if you have any questions...feel free to ask away!

Batman: Under the Red Hood

Check out the new Batman DVD/Blue Ray called "Batman: Under the Red Hood".  Not only is it a great Batman "anime" style movie, but I did some of the makeup for the writers/artists on the Special Features section.

Makeup I did was for: Dan DiDio, Paul Levitz and Dennis O'Neil.

New "Product" Work

I love skin so much I just had to do a "product" shoot.  There really isn't anything better than gorgeous glowing skin so when we got Analisa to work with us (who already has wonderful skin) I was totally psyched!  Here's the lovely results...Enjoy!

Inglot: Smart or Ridiculous?

Yesterday I walked into the Inglot store with a fellow MUA friend for the first time since it opened in Times Square.  I was very excited about finally stepping in and taking my time picking out some new shadows.  As I was playing around with colors, one of the sales girls went over her "selling speech" and what she said totally threw me off!

Apparently you cannot buy the shadows without buying the palette.  WHAT?!?!  So I'm FORCED to buy a palette I don't want or need because I can't just buy the shadows alone?!  I think thats absolutely ridiculous!  Some of you are probably thinking "well that's actually smart because they make money blah blah blah..."  NO!  I'm sorry but to me its RIDICULOUS!  I should be able to buy any eyeshadow of my choice and put it into the palette of MY choice.  

And if you think it couldn't get worse, listen to this.  Lets say you already own an Inglot palette and you need to refill a color that's wearing down, you cannot purchase the eyeshadow unless you PHYSICALLY bring in your palette to the store and refill it.  WTF is this?!  You have to prove to these people that you actually already own an Inglot palette?  Are they nuts?  Who do they think they are?

Needless to say, I walked out of there empty handed and completely put off by all this.  Shame on you Inglot...shame on you.

Makeup Sale!!

It's that time again to sell some stuff that I haven't used in quite some time.  I just have so much stuff that I rather sell it so someone else can make better use of it, than throw it out or have it sitting around collecting dust.  This is the list, have fun, and please feel free to ask me any questions.
