Freelance Makeup Artistry
Happily squeezed in between two friends, head crowned in sunglasses and limbs bared to the mounting heat of a hot summer’s day, Caitlyn Dixon seems your average twenty-two year old headed to the beach.
Marlayna Pincott is where kickass and kindness meets. Little about her warm, mellow tones assume the high-octane career behind them.
Global Makeup
Shaina Azad takes the business of Makeup seriously. That’s how she’s succeeded across multiple disciplines since graduating from top Vancouver Makeup School Blanche Macdonald.
For Blanche Macdonald Makeup graduate Sharon Rai, every day is a labour of love. The lavish ado of marriage was once youth’s sweetest daydream; now, that daydream has grown into the swoon-inducing reality of her workaday, as Canada’s premier bridal Makeup and Hair Artist.
Esthetics
At first glance Dolphin Street in White Rock, BC looks like any other residential street in Greater Vancouver’s greener suburbs.
“I’m jealous of Makeup Artists who can narrow it down to Fashion or TV and film,” laughs the Vancouver Makeup School graduate-turned-instructor Win Liu. “I love working on both!"
Nails
In the cozy, clean and crisp white space of Glam Nail Studio, the morning sun glints on the golden array of Nail Art trophies jostling for space along countertops and shelves, intersticed with the framed sets of the winning artwork.
Fashion
“It was incredible to see Mario’s images when they’d come through for the first time. Soon after I started he shot the cover of German Vogue with Miley Cyrus. It was instantly clear that I was working with someone very important.”
For Blanche Macdonald Makeup graduate Lyle Reimer, the infamous concept of the ‘selfie’ means so much more than a simple point and shoot portrait.
For clients of twice-graduate Paige Roy, imagination is truly at their fingertips. Since launching off from both Blanche Macdonald’s Global Makeup and Nail Parlour programs, Paige has been busy brushing out incredible creatives which have seen nails metamorphosed into monarch butterflies, dragon’s treasure, beetle shells and lightning storms (to name a few).
