    Short films are known for their passionate creativity, and often for their minimal budgets. Kari’s work is worth every penny. She has worked on numerous short films, and has always been able to create beautiful work, with a beauty and subtlety that is uncharacteristic of budget and time constraints.

  • Commercials

    image

    Make up can make or break any work, and with Kari, that is one less concern to have. Even on the most expensive high definition camera, Kari’s work impresses and plays its role perfectly. Whether is a corporate, professional look, or simply a mom and her kids - Kari will make them look their best.

    One of the simplest ways to make a commercial look amateur and local is to skip your make-up/ hair departments. Kari’s make up will allow you to not only put on that finishing touch, but do so with style. Able to work within budget constraints, Kari will make your production look like a million bucks.

  • Photography

    Need a make-up artist to make up a frustrated mom in a vacuum ad? Kari can do it. Kari prides herself in having her work retouched less than most make up artists, which in today’s retouch obsessed world, is saying something!

    Kari is always ready to work on an artistic photoshoot, be it an artist’s newest vision or a fashion shoot for Vogue. With her passion and drive Kari will make your work stand out.

  • Character

    If you need a fairy princess for a garden scene, or a 1950’s house wife to bring slippers and pipe to her new husband as he gets home from work, you won’t be able to pull it off without great make up. Kari can do anything!

    image

    You wouldn’t come to someone like Kari for a zombie movie, full of disemboweled guts and gushing neck wounds. But you would come to Kari for someone with an abusive spouse, or the guy that lost the boxing match. Kari’s expertise with cuts, burns, scrapes, and bruises, makes her a master of realistic, and reality-based grunge make up.

  • Events

    It takes the right make-up and a talented artist to effectively convey a constant theme and strong imagery. Kari has the experience and expertise to deliver the results you need.
