My main motive is Makeup Artistry for the expressive outlet, which I pair up with Hair Styling and Wardrobe Design to round out the Model and Photographer in me.
I'm always open to new ideas, jobs, and styles. If you think you can challenge me I'd love to talk to you.
I pride myself on giving people a good experience with getting their Hair & Makeup done. Many people can find this nerve racking and an annoying experience- after all, someone is really in your face, and space. I work with the way a models face expresses emotion, and it's relaxed shape to enhance natural beauty and make their greatest assets pop. [It's just a bonus that I promise you won't look like you just came out of a porn movie.]
TESTIMONIALS
"I was sad when I took a shower and washed away all the make-up, you really did a fantastic job. I didn't know I could look like that. I need a makeup artist more often." -Sie Ist Idaho
"Alicia is not only a great MUA but she is also invaluable as a second opinion in providing ideas to help make the photos come alive. She's a triple threat: MUA, Model, with a Photographer's eye. I would gladly work with her again." -Isaac L. Koval of Koval Productions
"Talented makeup artist (MUA) and a reliable model with versatile looks. A true gem to work with and a 'can do' attitude round out Alicia to make her an ideal subject to work with both as a model and a MUA asset! I look forward to working with her again -- next time with air conditioning. ;-)" -Mike Burry of Smashbox Photo
"You have a fantastic mind when it comes to this kind of thing!" -Pete Springer
