Snapped some behind the scenes photos of a recent fashion shoot I did with photographer Allysandra Cervantes.
In love with how the final images turned out! Team work makes the dream work… so, happy to say that the story got picked up ;)
Stay tuned for my next post to view some of the final images…

Makeup & Hair work for another fun kid’s toy commercial! Above are some iPhone snaps on set & below is a link to the final visuals on my website:

Growing up… I never thought I’d be working on similar toy commercials I watched Saturday mornings as a kid.
Fast forward *many years later and I’m part of the crew, working with various talents behind the scenes.
Being a freelance artist is not a walk in the park but I consider myself lucky to work in a field I truly enjoy!
An extra perk is getting sneak peaks at products before they’re released on the market :D.
The above photos are iPhone snaps from set.

Had the pleasure of doing makeup for this Miami beauty (Chantel Jeffries) this past weekend in Toronto. It was a fun night of mingling over food & wine at Sotto Sotto and our final stop at Time Night Club. Here’s a few pics from the night.
Grooming & manicures on the set of another kid’s TV commercial in Toronto. This time for Hotwheels. Loved the mini sets the art department put together:

Worked on Massari’s latest video & shot some behind the scenes pics of the video gals.
The outfits were stunning & elaborate so the makeup & hair had to look equally fabulous!
The result ~ Alternating focal points between eyes & lips to keep the overall looks balanced and not heavily done. Each makeup & hair look also had to compliment every outfit which enabled them to shine and rightfully so ;)…
It was tough to narrow down the shots since there were so many interesting looks throughout the day but I decided on the above :) Which makeup look do you like best?

Compiled some behind the scenes snapshots of myself on the job & on location sets…
It’s been a whirl-wind of excitement, anxiety, laughter, creativity & long hours but definitely worth it in exchange for doing what I love to do! :)…
Looking forward to creating more great memories on-set

Shortly after working with Autumn Hill on their vid, they called again but this time for a promo shoot with Matt Barnes at Westside Studios. They’re both incredibly genuine & talented w/ quirky personalities so I was really excited to work with them again :D
Here’s what I did for Makeup & Hair…
Tareya really liked the way I did her eyes for their video and preferred to stay in line with a clean eye. To step it up a notch, I added…
• Extra contour to her crease area using Philosophy eye shadow
• Highlighted the inner corners with Rice Paper from M.A.C
• Added my signature winged liner using Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Liner
• Applied Big False Lashes from M.A.C. ~ #35’s - one of my personal faves!
I kept the rest of the face pretty clean, well contoured and flawless with a hint of peachy blush. The lips were a barely there nude shade - Adorable from Stila mixed with Siss did the trick :)
I kept the hair voluminous, flowy with large waves using a 1.5 inch curling iron.
Look #2 was fairly similar in terms of the eyes. I just added mascara to the lower lashes and altered the lip color to a nice vibrant pink which went really well with the white T and light blue ripped jeans. I used “Silly” from M.A.C.’s new fashion collection & it really helped to brighten Tareya’s face.
Look # 3 called for some body art on Tareya’s forearms - my partner used an x-acto knife to cut triangles on stencil paper and I used a M.A.C. pigment mixed w/ a bit of water to fill in the triangular patterns.
Coincidentally, the design went really well with the necklace… And the multi-iridescent shades the pigment gave off went perfectly with the duo’s outfits - Everything worked out as it often magically happens on set :) lol The finishing touch was Diva lipstick from M.A.C. which capped off the look really nicely!
Some iphone snapshots from the Big Brother Wrap Party I attended last week. I was super excited to be there & had a blast meeting the whole cast! Especially Gary Levy aka Gary Glitter ~ He was incredibly nice & so fun to be around! So glad to have taken part in this project for a stint doing makeup for Arisa Cox via Shaw Media & Insight Productions :D.

Always a pleasure doing makeup for the talented & brilliant Arisa Cox. This particular time I took my camera with me & snapped a few shots while on set. As usual, my partner Tavis Gordon added his touch to the images :)
On a separate note…
What an exciting first season for Big Brother Canada! Each episode kept me intrigued and either had me laughing, crying, yelling at the TV and quite often at the edge of my seat!
Big Brother certainly took their role seriously and did a damn good job at making the show entertaining! Although I was pretty disappointed that my fave player Gary Glitter didn’t take home the grand prize, he’s still a winner in my book -&- I’m totally excited to meet him and the cast at the wrap party tonight!!
#SETLife: Sherlyn Torres Beauty - Cityline Behind The Scenes
Iphone snapshots at Salon Philosophy with Colour Specialist Villy for our City Line Makeover Madness Segment! This was my second guest expert appearance - Airs on CityTV every first Tuesday of the month @ 9am & 3pm. Makeup by yours truly ;)
Snapped a few shots of Keshia Chante while working on her latest video for her single entitled “I Miss U”…
I kept her makeup very true to how she’d normally present herself in the public eye since the concept of the video was a day in the life of Keshia Chante.
Keshia was super fun to work with ~ she had tons of energy & a great sense of humour! We not only shared the same taste in music but also had similar taste in beauty brands (Stila, NARS & M.A.C to name a few)…
Although we shot for 2 long days, time pretty much flew! Collaborating with a terrific team with great vision & creativity made it all worth while ;)

On set doing makeup & hair for Paris Li’s Fall/Winter 2012/13 Campaign Shoot featuring Steph from Elite Models.
Paris Li wanted the makeup & hair to look fresh & young ~ So I applied minimal base coverage on Steph to ensure her natural skin shines through and only applied concealer where needed.
Steph naturally had brightly pigmented lips so I toned the redness down by brushing a thin layer of foundation then applied a rosy pink shade, topped with a dab of lip gloss. I used a bit of the same shade on her cheeks. The soft pink tones and hint of sheen on the lips adds a youthful essence to her beauty.
I wanted her eyes to have an innocent, almost ethereal look to them so I added a light champagne shade to the inner corners & on the brow bone. I kept the eyeshadow neutral, and focused on contouring the crease and slightly shaded the lower lash area with the same soft brown. I fanned the lashes outwards while applying the mascara top & bottom to emphasize the wide-eyed look. I used a powder shadow to fill in the brows so they look groomed but still quite natural. I altered the look for the campaign shots by adding a hint of gun metal grey smoked out & paled down the lips a touch…
We had a laid back day listening to 70’s funk records while shooting the look book portion ~ then kicked it in high gear for the campaign portion to utilize the dwindling sun light. Overall, a fun project showcasing beautiful, sophisticated fashion pieces.
