From company parties to swanky soirees, the holiday party season is upon us. If you want to look your best but can’t afford to splash out on a professional makeover, why not do it yourself?
Westchester makeup artist J GUERRA provides us with some really neat tips that are sure to make you looking fab.
GUERRA has been the lead makeup artist for Sergio Davila’s Fashion Week show for several years, and has also worked on the make-up teams of top designers Kithe Brewster, Thom Browne, Kenneth Cole, Houghton, Proenza Schouler, Rebecca Taylor, ThreeasFour and others.
GUERRA reminds us that a makeover won’t necessarily land us on People Magazine’s Most Beautiful Women list, but it will go along way to making all of us more confident in ourselves.
“In order to be beautiful, a woman should acknowledge the features of herself that she loves most and radiate confidence through those traits. Beauty is a feeling, not just an appearance.”
Completely self-taught, GUERRA is frequently called upon to create unique runway looks for designers and to produce editorial and commercial looks for an array of fashion magazines as well as being sought after by celebrities.
J GUERRA is an award-winning celebrity makeup artist who has a wide range of experience in fashion, print, television and red carpet makeup. He has also worked in the special effects and theatrical stage makeup arena, having worked on shows like Sleep No More, Stop the Virgins and Broadway Bares. He has also prepared models for commercials, catalogues, fashion campaigns and look books, including ZARA, MTV, Jalouse, Jules and Ava Gray, a Pleasantville clothing company.
