Behind the chair, beyond the trend.
I'm Patrice — a key makeup artist and beauty department head based in New York, working across commercial advertising, television, branded content, editorial, fashion, and music videos. My work centers on collaborating closely with directors, producers, photographers, agency creatives, and wardrobe teams to deliver camera-ready beauty for HD and 4K productions, while keeping continuity and pace on set.
I moved to New York City in 2014 to study at Makeup Designory, and it didn't take long for that training to turn into real work — collaborating with names like Chloe Bailey, Kehlani, Justine Skye, Gladys Knight, Doechii, Jalen Hurts, Yara Shahidi, Arsema Thomas, and Jasmine Cephas Jones, and landing campaigns for Nike, H&M, Walmart, The Lip Bar, the US Open, and Enterprise x FIFA, alongside features in Vogue, Essence, i-D, Refinery29, and L'Officiel.
My background spans beauty and celebrity grooming, men's grooming, editorial and prosthetic work, airbrush, and special effects — a range I kept building by studying at Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles and earning my fine arts degree from the Community College of Philadelphia in 2025. It's all built for fast-moving commercial and broadcast environments where precision and adaptability matter equally.
