Rikena Esters

Makeup Artist/ Male Groomer
Brooklyn,NY

Summary

I have over a decade of makeup styling experience. Both beauty and men's grooming. Having taken a break from fashion, I'm eager to get back into it. With that time off, I have sharpened my skills and am looking to collaborate with wardrobe stylists and photographers to work on new projects.

(Please note that I cannot do hair, but I can connect you with someone who can if necessary.)

I've learned a lot about resourcefulness and preservation as a makeup artist over the past 10 years. A scholarship allowed me to attend the world-famous Make-Up Designory (MUD). I honed my talents at MUD. Make-up for private clients, models, film, and print are all areas that I gained experience in. As my experience grew, I began freelancing and assisting a fashion agency, where I worked as a makeup artist for film, advertising, and fashion. My assisting work at the agency dissolved as I began freelancing full-time. I then took on my PR and management responsibilities. Throughout my career as an artist, I have been hired for print, fashion, and film. Besides being an innovative makeup artist, I have a keen eye for classic beauty. Clean, natural, and soft glam make-up is my specialty.
