![]() What is your single most important beauty tip? I cried on this set more than any other film I’ve worked on. There are two girls in the story and you want to know how they’re going to survive and deal with these problems. This current movie, “Spider & Jessie,” is about the children of the opioid crisis. Cedric the Entertainer was in that film, and in the very middle of filming Dennis Rodman showed up and started singing in one of the breaks. “The Plus One.” It was a feature film with (actor and singer) Ashanti, who finds out her best friend is bringing some girl she doesn’t like to her wedding, and chaos ensues. They have a career and when they sit with me in my chair I have a huge responsibility to make sure they look good so the final product looks good. One of the actresses I worked with said - and it always stuck in my head - that you’re only as good as you looked in your last film. You have people that are very protective of their brand so they have an image they have to maintain. The quickest (styling) is probably 20 minutes, whereas on one film the lead would take two hours to make up. The Lifetime ones don’t go into overtime at all so it’s usually 12 hours with a half-hour for lunch. What’s a typical day on set? How long does it take to do the hair and makeup for each actor?Ī standard day is 12 hours. It’s funny, after working on those for the last 10 films and coming back to features, it seems like everything moves so much slower. It’s a run-and-gun style where basically you get the shot you need and not waste time. Those are the quickest shooting films I’ve worked on. What is it like working on a Lifetime movie? I did my first film in 2013, in Jacksonville, and then in 2017 I got more requests for film work and it’s been kind of nonstop since then. I was doing a lot of on-set stuff for Home Shopping (Network) and print magazines. In 2010 I started getting requests for commercial work. I did it in seven or eight months, then I was was managing salons. They said cosmetology school would take a year. At the end of 2004 I finally had enough of the corporate world and decided to do this full time. I ended up in a corporate job and did (styling) part time, events and weddings and things like that. A lot of girls would let me cut their hair and it was just natural to me. I was a drama kid in high school, and throughout the productions I just started toying around with makeup and hair. ![]()
