Casting Call for 2018, Los Angeles

Posted December 30, 2017

2017 has been an amazing year and I was fortunate to meet and work with super talented people and wildly successful makeup and skincare brands. I had the honor to shoot and retouch multiple times for Urban Decay (L’Oreal), GlamGlow (Estée Lauder), Melt Cosmetics, Hourglass Cosmetics, Dose of Colors, Sunday Riley, Tatcha to name just a few.

My team and I have also got to shoot some new print publications in Harpers Bazaar and a couple of cover stories in the US-based Makeup Artist and Italian Reve Beauty between our commercial shoots.

To kick off 2018, my dear friends and amazing Makeup Artists @VladaMUA and @JordanLiberty will be holding a casting at our studio for all of our upcoming commercial and editorial shoots.

WHO IS INVITED: Los Angeles Beauty models
WHERE: Sherman Oaks, CA
WHEN: Sunday, January 7th, from 12pm to 3pm

We can only see a dozen of models, so we’ll need to schedule every one for a specific time. Please DM me @JuliaKuzmenko, @JordanLiberty or @VladaMUA if you would like to come by for a quick casting/test shoot. Let us know if you have a preferred time slot between 12pm and 3:30pm on January 7th and we will send you the address if that time is available.

Please come with no makeup on, clean well-hydrated skin, clean hair, soft, exfoliated and moisturized lips 🙂

We are looking forward to seeing you at our studio!

Julia, Vlada & Jordan
