ABOUT BRIAN

As a professional TV and film makeup artist from New York, I have 20+ years in the industry.  Starting out in independent films then moving into television and studio films.  I've worked on a variety of projects for CBS, FOX, HBO, NBC, Netflix, Apple TV, Warner Bros. & Lionsgate, to name a few.

 

I have gained a reputation for being a consummate professional in the artistry of makeup design. Working on TV series and films such as "Ripley, Lisey's Story, John Wick 3, "Madam Secretary," "Smash," "Gracie" and "Broken English." 

​

I continue to study and learn from my craft, keeping up to date on new techniques, tools and products, ensuring my work remains fresh.
