About Me

hello. my name's lucky. i'm a makeup artist in toronto. i'm currently MTV in canada's head makeup artist and i also do some freelance work when i get the time. i specialize in television, editorial, runway, some special effects, bridal, and i do a bit of film here and there when i can.

i will never, ever see The Titanic (the movie, not the ship). the thought of it makes me want to gouge my own eyes out.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
