Frends Beauty to Beast - Overview

We created 3 teams; each team included one model, one beauty artist, one special FX artist and one hair stylist. Each artist conceptualized a makeup design that suited their models and their speciality in the field. The beauty artists went first, making their model glamorous and breathtakingly beautiful. After the morning beauty makeup and photoshoot, the special FX artists took that same striking model from a beauty, to a beast. Once the special FX portion was completed, the beast photoshoot followed. It was awesome to see what the amazing artists were able to do to one model in one day, taking her from stunner to monster in a matter of hours.

Our first artist team to be featured is beauty artist and bronzing queen Carlene K, and Eryn Krueger-Mekash, special fx guru and makeup department head on American Horror Story. Assisting them was the beloved Face/Off Season 6 contestant Chloe Sens. Hair was expertly done by Kim Ferry who has worked on some of our favorite shows like The Office and Pretty Little Liars. Their model was beach blonde beauty, Stephanie Thomas.

Our second team is a force to be reckoned with, to say the least. Glam makeup extraordinaire Kristofer Buckle, whose brushes have worked on dozens of Hollywood’s iconic beauties teamed up with legendary Academy Award winning special fx artist Matthew Mungle. Assisting them was makeup artist Jen Giragos, and Kim Ferry once again handled the hair of our model, Brooke Quinn.

Our third team is sure to knock your socks off. East Coast based photographer and makeup artist Jordan Liberty brought beauty up a notch in this edition. Working with Jordan is a master of his craft from sketch to design and creation, special fx makeup artist Richard Redlefsen. Assisting them was Frends Beauty’s very own special fx beauty Lea Willard. The model behind it all, another beauty from Frends Beauty, Alex Mckibben. As you’re used to hearing by now, Kim Ferry took hair to the next level.

From concept to execution it has been a long ride for the Beauty To Beast series, and we see no end in sight. We are passionate about continuing this series to showcase what we are capable of delivering, and what our clients are capable of creating. This is just the tip of the iceberg and we can’t wait to show you who we work with next! We promise you won’t be disappointed.
