Hi My name is Taylor!

I am a formally trained make-up artist and hairstylist. I attended MUD in Burbank, and I also attended cosmetology school whereafter I attained my cosmetology license(which encompasses the study of hair, esthetics and nails).



My work lands mostly in the area of special fx, however I would have to say one of my strongest skill sets is in beauty!

Although I started my career as beauty make-up artist, I rarely ever did photoshoots. I have always worked as a commercial/television/film make-up artist my entire career.

I have formally worked for MAC cosmetics and Shiseido cosmetics where I was high in demand.



I am a very easy going and positive person on set. I truly love my job, ask anyone I have ever worked with! :) When your working with me, it rarely feels like work at all!

As a former model, I know its not only my job to make my model beautiful on the outside, but give her the confidence to deliver a great shoot.


This is my full time job, so I expect to be compensated for my time and am only accepting paid jobs, however I will make an exception depending on certain situations. When make-up artists use their products we have to replenish. It does not mystically replenish itself ;] So I always require a minimum kit fee for all my work.

I require to have copies of the un-retouched images for every job.





I hope to work with you soon!!!!

My focus is primarily on Feature Films, television and commercials, but I would love to start focusing on editorials and photoshoots.

I have worked with Grammy award winning singers, Oscar winning Actors and former NBA players.

I have worked on national commercials.

I have worked with various companies such as: Xbox, Disney, Southern California Edison, Mazda and Alloy Ent.(Creators of Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars).

Photographers I have worked with include: Jason Asahara, Omar Guerra and Deverill Weekes
