Its all Disney with Claudia Bellanca





Welcome to the world of Music Videos; aggh the long hours, early call times all for that perfect video. We started at 5am and went into the day until Sunset. Because, we where more focused about the location, getting Claudia prepared before sunrise was important. To utilize the full day it was essential to have her hair and makeup ready, so that we could have her in Central Park as the sun peaked. Ill keep you posted on the final product.

Ouch you again



How to achieve a bruise like this one... First you can start by getting the right colors; your going to need maroon, yellow, black and greens. It would be great to get a image that is from an actual bruise! Great products to use is Mehron bruise Color Pro wring or MUD has a bruising kit. You want to get a brush that is frayed on the ends; the more tapered on the end the better. You want to create broken capillaries. Start by stippling the maroon color and add other colors as desired!

Boxing around with Makeup

Recently shot with photographer Caitlin Mitchell on a more active level. Boxing around with some men's grooming and Sweat FX. "What"s that you say?"; to achieve the glossy look on the body you can use SPFX makeup or body oil. I personally love the transparent jelly from Sweat Fx that can be bought at Alcone. Also Mehron has a wonderful alternative which is thinner.
I applied this jelly constantly trough out the shoot. Be sparingly with it so you don't break the makeup on the face. Heavy substances that have Glycerin as an ingredient or high oil base tends to break down foundation.





Men need makeup too- huh???

MTV Haiti Fundraiser




What a wonderful event, for such a great cause. Had the chance to work with some of the best musicians. It was a whimsical day! I was surrounded by talented makeup artist where we all donated our time to do makeup and hair for the event that was live on networks like MTV, NBC, and ABC.
It was amazing to be apart of such an historical event. I felt blessed to be there and also privilege to be around President Bill Clinton, Sting, Shakira, Madonna, The Roots, Jennifer Hudson, and even all of the staff members of MTV.
The Haiti Fundraiser proved to be a success and showed the generosity, compassion and heart of an entire nation and also globally. I feel honored to have been apart of this accomplishment.

Brides.com How to guide for 09


Au natural look at Angel Sanchez  For this look makeup artist Meagan Hester started with a fresh, clean face, then added concealer around the eyes for a brightened, youthful look, and used a foundation that evens skin tone. To achieve the soft eyes, she used a mixture of light and dark taupe on the lids. Rosy cheeks and a pale pink lip make the look perfect for a spring wedding. "This is a matte look," she says, "so no shiny colors or glosses needed."

Angel Sanchez Runway Show 2009


I recently was asked to be Key Makeup Artist to Angel Sanchez Runway Show on April 29, 2009. Thankfully I got a wonderful crew together for the show which was held at the Pierre hotel in NYC. There where 500 guest including celebrities and socialites.
The look was high fashion smokey eye with a matte pale lip; it screamed sophistication and class. Backstage was great my crew of 10 artist work fast and really met my expectation. Angel Sanchez was a delight and his team as always was a pleasure to be around.
Thank you to all the artist which helped me achieve a wonderful show.
