Most beauty portfolios are a grid of pretty pictures with no client attached. Ours names
the brands and the networks, because in production work the question is never whether the
images look good — it is whether you have done this before, at this scale, with this much
riding on the day.
Brands and networks whose productions we have staffed. We are deliberate about this list —
it contains only work we actually did, which is why it is shorter than some and more useful
than most.
American Girl Brand
Radio Flyer Brand
Nickelodeon Network
CBS Broadcast
WGN Broadcast
Windy City Live Broadcast
Judy Justice Broadcast
Women's Health Editorial
Additional Fortune 500 and agency work is covered by confidentiality and can be discussed
directly. Certificates of insurance, W-9, and vendor onboarding paperwork are handled as a
matter of course.
Disciplines
What we get booked for.
Six distinct disciplines, each with its own pace, standard, and failure mode. An artist who
is excellent on a magazine set is not automatically the right call for a four-hundred-guest
activation. Knowing that difference is most of what an agency is for.
Commercial & Advertising
Broadcast spots, digital campaigns, and branded content. A key artist owns the look and holds it across setups; additional artists keep the day on schedule. Continuity is the deliverable — face nine has to match face one, and hour eleven has to match hour one.

Multi-day continuity
Grooming and beauty
Coverage through wrap
Corporate & Executive
Headshot days, executive portraits, keynote and panel prep, earnings and press readiness. The person in the chair is not a model and does not want to look made up. The work has to read as a good day, not as makeup.

Interview and press readiness
On-site studio setup
Editorial
Fashion and beauty editorial, lookbooks, magazine features. Concept-led work where the brief is a reference deck rather than a spec, and the artist is expected to contribute to the look rather than execute someone else's.

Broadcast
On-air talent, anchor and contributor touch-ups, livestream, press conference and green room. Lighting is unforgiving and there is no second take, so the standard is different from print and the pace is different from set.

Experiential & Brand Activation
Glam bars, pop-ups, product launches, convention booths, influencer events. Activation beauty is a throughput problem as much as a beauty problem — a queue of guests, a public branded environment, and a clock.

Weddings & Private Events
The market we started in and still run at production standard. Sized to headcount, timed backward from first look, and staffed so the last person out of the chair is not the one holding up photographs.

The Portfolio
Twenty-nine frames, eight kinds of day.
Filter by the kind of work you are actually booking. A bride and a festival activation are
both hair and makeup and they have almost nothing else in common, so it is worth seeing the
right ones.

How a day runs
The unglamorous part clients actually buy.
1You tell us about the day.
Or, if you do not have one yet, five things: date, location, call time, talent count, and
what the footage is for. That is enough for a real number within one business day.
2We staff to the schedule, not the budget.
One artist per three to four talent for first looks is the working rule. We will tell you
when you need fewer artists than you think, which is more often than you would expect.
3One point of contact on the floor.
The key artist owns the look and answers to your producer. You are not coordinating four
freelancers who have never met each other.
4Contract first, itemised invoice after.
Overtime, travel, and kit fees are stated in the estimate rather than discovered on the
invoice. Procurement departments are the reason we work this way.
