Michelle Cuevas
From mechanics to getting glam as a model on set, makeup showed me how confident and empowered I felt in front of the camera.
I started off creating looks on myself, moved along to friends and slowly started charging. Eventually I worked at Sephora and being able to work on a variety of women and men from different ages and races my artistry quickly began to grow.
I was able to train with some of the most sought after brands like Dior and Pat Mcgrath, Danessa Myricks and other global makeup artists.
10 years of hard work and many looks later I've been published on Playboy and Maxim covers, I work pageants like Miss USA and Miss Earth, and I truly enjoy seeing my clients feel that same confidence I felt after each and every session.
Playboy ALL STAR with Anna Claire Clouds
Playboy ALL STAR shoot featuring Anna Claire Clouds shot by world renowned photographer Sebastian Salinas. I decided to add a pop of color using Danessa Myricks Beauty colorfix in UFO since I knew we were going to use moody lighting.
Maxim Australia with Cailin Alyssa
Maxim Australia feature with International super model Cailin Alyssa shot by world renowned photographer Ryan Dwyer with PR services provided by Luis Rodriguez at Mainstreet productions. I knew we were shooting at the beach so keeping the makeup light and fresh was the key to this look.
Playboy with Kaitlynn Janderson
Shooting for playboy has been a dream come true. This photo was shot by world renowned photographer Sebastian Salinas. One piece of advice I always give to any makeup artist is make sure your makeup is waterproof! I used Era Beauty Airbrush foundation to ensure her base stayed put and flawless during this water shoot. I didn’t know she was going to be getting her face wet till it already happened.
