Makeup Artist
I’m a multiple Emmy Award winner with three decades of makeup artistry and SFX experience in all media formats (print, runway, stage, video, and film).
I’ve been a Journeyman member of the IATSE Local 798 Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist Union for over twenty years and a member of NATAS since 1997.
Kevin amazed me with his creativity.
So often I find myself having to push makeup and hair stylists to go beyond their comfort zone in terms of creative expression, but not with Kevin.
He is extremely talented, detail oriented, and his charming easy-going personality is always a pleasure to work with.
In an industry as stressful and time-crunch oriented as ours, it’s comforting to be able to rely on Kevin to get the job done not only quickly but with precision and unique creative vision.
