Factor Artists 2014

 

I just signed with Factor Artists last week. 

Today, my comp cards and portfolio are now live!

 

I decided to join with Factor Artists because they expressed how much they loved my work but they wanted to push me to be a better artist with even stronger work. I appreciate when people encourage me to be my best, so I am going to take a chance with them and see how this goes for the next year. I also noticed how the artists they represent have amazing work. I am always pushing my self to go higher and to be better so it felt like a perfect fit.

 

I am also represented by Black Board Group in Los Angeles and New York. 

 

My goal this year was to travel more often and gain new clients all around America, so I hope to continue to jet set to new places for new jobs in 2014. I'll keep you updated on my whereabouts and my latest work very soon!

 

 

 

Lori by Jennifer Avello

 It's always fun to work with clients who are open minded to trying new looks! Lori Prestidge was looking to update her portfolio with a variety of edgy and commercial looks to prepare her for NYC agencies. We brought so many amazing looks out of Lori, we were all impressed with how she was able to adapt and change with every outfit! Here are a few of my favorite snapshots of Lori. 

Enjoy! 

 

 For the commercial looks, I kept the makeup very easy and light weight. 

 

I applied Make Up For Ever Face and Body Makeup in #20 to give her a dewy, fresh look for camera. I have been using this foundation for YEARS. Literally, a little goes a very long way and this foundation has been one of my best investments for my career.

I also used a grey tone matte eyeshadow by Inglot #502 to create her soft, smokey eye. Inglot's eyeshadows are only $6, but they deliver so much pigment in such a small size. I LOVE Inglot.

 

 

This was a fun look! 

I slicked Lori's hair back, slapped red lipstick on her, and she transformed! I pumped up her lashes with Maybelline 'One By One' Mascara in Jet Black. Lip liner is 'Scarlet' by NYX and Lipgloss is "Night Out' by Sephora. This combination of cleans eyes and a dark lip was my favorite look on Lori; she pulled it off superbly well!

For this look, I wanted Lori's blue eyes to pop, so I applied Inglot Black Gel Liner in #88 on the inner lower rim of her eyes and lined her upper lids with a thin angled brush by Crown Industries. I created a nude lip with Ben Nye Media Pro concealer palette and highlighted her skin with Inglot AMC "Face and Body Illuminator' in #61.

 I also contoured her cheeks with "Tenderling" Powder Blush by MAC. This is my absolute favorite blush to contour with because it is the perfect shade for camera, whether in color or black and white photography, it always delivers the precise, pronounced cheekbones that I adore.
