Blushed Makeup Artistry

Blushed Makeup Artistry is an on - location freelance business. My name is Laura McElroy and I have been a professional freelance makeup artist since 1998. I also am a Licensed Managing Esthetician from Aveda Fredric's Institute. Currently, I am based out of Cincinnati, OH, but will travel to any destination. I possess a natural talent and a crazy love for makeup that started when I was a very young girl in my hometown of Sibley, IA. I am pretty sure that I was born with my makeup case and brush belt. I have been professionally trained by Estee Lauder, Aveda, Jane Iredale, and MAC Cosmetics, through work experience and intense classes and seminars.I have a healthy addiction borderlining on obsession when it comes to learning anything about my craft... I am a forever student, pouring over books and magazines, taking continuing education classes, and learning tricks here and there from other artists.I specialize in the art of makeup, whether it be Classy Beautiful, Old - Hollywood Glam, Punk Rock Chic, or anything in between and beyond. My expertise includes, but is not limited to, bridal, photo shoots, runway, and commercial work/print ads. I use MAC and MAC Pro makeup for all of my freelance jobs. My theatrical kit is Ben Nye. I will be pursuing a Master's of Fine Arts degree in Theater Design and Production with an emphasis on Makeup and Wig Construction and Design at College - Conservatory of Music this fall.I appreciate your visit. Please take a look around and contact me with any questions or bookings. Get ready to be enhanced and transformed into your most crazy beautiful, glamorous self!
