Special-event makeup in Los Angeles for galas, engagements, and shoot days.
Polished, long-wear looks built for the occasion and the cameras, at the studio or on-location, with multiple looks available for shoot days.
If any of this sounds familiar.
Makeup that looks good for the first photo but doesn't survive the night.
A gala or an engagement dinner runs for hours. A look that fades or moves by the second photo isn't finished, it's unfinished from the start.
A last-minute look with no time to talk through what you actually want.
Even a quick booking deserves five real minutes about the occasion, your outfit, and how you want to feel walking in.
Booking an artist for a shoot who has never worked a moving set.
A photoshoot or content day means changing looks, touch-ups between setups, and keeping pace with a crew. That's a different skill than a single sit-down appointment.
Special Event Makeup, built around you.
A look that holds from the first drink to the last dance.
The same long-wear, photo-tested approach I use for weddings, sized for a single big night instead of a full wedding day.
Comfortable either way, on your schedule.
Come to the Silver Lake studio, or I'll come to you. Either way the look is built the same, with the same attention.
For shoot days that need more than one finished face.
Editorial and content days often need a few distinct looks in a few hours. I work on set for the time you need, with touch-ups built into the schedule.
Three steps. No surprises.

We build the look
At the studio or on-location, we talk through the look for five minutes before I start, so it matches the night or the brief.
Touch-ups, if you need them
For longer nights or shoot days, I stay for touch-ups between looks, so you stay camera-ready the whole time.
Events and editorial work are where I get to move fast and adapt: a new brief, a new outfit, a new mood, sometimes a few times in one afternoon.
Whether it's one gala look or four looks on a shoot day, the process is the same. I show up prepared, I listen first, and I keep the schedule moving.
Camille ReyThis is for you if…
- 01You have a gala, engagement party, or milestone birthday coming up.
- 02You're shooting content or a campaign and need looks that hold under real lights.
- 03You want a polished look without redoing your whole everyday routine.
- 04You want an artist who's worked a moving set before, not just a single sit-down appointment.
Ready for every camera in the room.
A good event look doesn't need to be checked in the mirror all night. It just holds, so you can actually be at your own party.
What clients say
“Booked her for an editorial shoot and she nailed three completely different looks in half a day. A total pro.”
“Camille did my engagement dinner and the look lasted through hugs, photos, and way too much dancing.”
