My new poster has just arrived from the tour I did in Boston with Will Poulterfor the new movie “The Revenant” with Leonardo DiCaprio.
The International Business Times says the gory scenes have audiences split and according to the Hollywood Reporter, some that attended advanced screenings of the film even walked out because of the blood. However there is one thing that everyone appears to agree on – DiCaprio’s performance is worthy of the Oscar buzz.
See it!!....Full release January 8th, 2016.
This commercial certainly made for fun makeup and hair work! The models and team were delightful! Even though the commercial was about poor choices, the hair and makeup certainly weren't inlcuded in that category!

Working with Annie Leibovitz made for a day filled with excitement and lightness. It was a busy day and I needed to move swiftly to get the makeup and hair done for the lovely Doris Kearns Goodwin, Richard Goodwin, and many more. The photographer is generally the one who sets the mood for the day and Annie has a genuine ease and comfort about her. This shoot was busy, with many shots to be achieved. Annie set a sense of comfort and tranquility throughout the day and also a sense of joy and enthusiasm. She has this incredible ability to create calmness in the room no matter how busy it gets or how many people are in it. It is clear to see how she has the ability to captures intimate moments with her subjects as she has done with so many celebrities. Check out some of our "behind-the-scenes" shots from our day!
You're in great hands at Seaport Hotel & Seaport World Trade Center.
We worked a few long days on this shoot and the staff was pleasant and so accommodating. Ellen Pels, the wedding consultant was a delight to work with.... a lady that goes that extra mile to make sure things are just right! Edwin Medrano, the hotel beekeeper loves his job!...he’s knowledgeable and passionate about his rooftop hives with 1,000,000 bees that work hard to put the honey on your breakfast table!

From the 1980’s cartoon, Jem and the Halograms is a blast from the past with big makeup, big hair and all PINKED out !!! Growing up, director Jon Chu's sister loved the cartoon and forced him to watch it with her. Who could have known that eventually he would take his sister’s favorite cartoon series and turn it into a live action movie in 2015!
I had an amazing time working with this cast! Check out the movie.... in theaters NOW!

Check out my latest shoot with Zipcar! I had the pleasure of working with an amazing crew on this playful, free and youthful shoot. Photographer Josh Campbell captured "The Freedom to Be You" theme of this shoot with energetic angles, sharp lighting and authentic moments between the models. With Rina Patsiokostas on wardrobe, the models were hip and effortless.
When doing makeup for Zipcar, I always keep the makeup light and bright with a sense of ease that matches back to Zipcar's values as a brand.
The models on the shoot were so much fun to work with. Spanning all different skin tones and features, it's a fun challenge to enhance all the models natural beauty/handsomeness. I used soft, youthful hues on this shoot from my makeup line.
Thank you to all the amazing crew members and models on the shoot for making this such a fun and eclectic shoot!

It's always so much fun to do editorial bridal shoots with Boston Magazine! Because I do so many real life brides, these shoots allow me to see new dress inspriation and hone that bridal glow. Brides are photographed more on their wedding day than any other day of their life, so working behind the scenes with photographers allows me to see EXACTLY how my makeup photographs. I want my brides and any models I work with the feel their absolute best whether it's on set or walking down the aisle.
I had the pleasure of working with The Improper Bostonian on their fall set, a 70's inspired shoot with maxi dresses and thigh high slits galore. Rusts, luxurius metallics and big hair were the stylists picks so I went with a bold red lip, highlighted cheekbones, natural eye shadows and a bold cat eye liner look for the makeup on the gorgeous model.
Here are some of the final edits from the shoot!

Last week I had the pleasure of working with model Monike at Icon Salon in Newton Centre for their Pure Allure shoot. The stylists were going for a subtle smokey beauty that still retained Monike's natural youthful glow.
I went for smokey yet slightly warmer hues on Monike's eye, a peach blush to emphasize her cheekbones and a soft mauve gloss for her lips so the focus could remain on her gorgeous blue eyes.
But she really needs no makeup at all. #NaturalBeauty
I was on set at Scene Magazine for a photo shoot with Governor Baker and Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. Check out the behind the scenes video above!
