Editorial and boudoir glam makeup in Lewiston, Maine
I do editorial and boudoir glam makeup at Tucci & Co Salon in Lewiston, Maine. Editorial work gives more room for color, texture and shape than a wedding look, but I still start with the skin, prepping and evening the base so it holds under studio light, then build the eyes, brows and lips to suit the concept.

MY APPROACH TO EDITORIAL AND ON CAMERA LOOKS
Editorial work gives more room for color, texture and shape than a wedding look, but the skin still comes first. I prep and even the base so it holds under studio light and photographs smoothly, then build the eyes, brows and lips to suit the concept of the shoot.
For portrait and boudoir sessions I keep the look close to your own features and adjust it for the lighting and wardrobe planned.
What to bring
Share the mood board or inspiration images for the shoot, the wardrobe colors if you know them, and anything your skin is sensitive to. Arrive with clean, moisturized skin and no makeup.
How a shoot day runs
Before the day, I ask for the call time, the location, the number of people I am doing makeup for and the order they are needed on set. That lets me plan how long each person sits with me and when the first look has to be ready.
On the day, I set up close to the set with good light, prep skin, build the base and then finish the eyes, brows and lips for the concept. When the camera starts, I stay nearby for touch ups between shots, blotting shine and fixing lips so the look stays consistent from the first frame to the last.
Changing looks during a shoot
If the shoot has more than one look, tell me the order ahead of time. Moving from soft to bold is quick. Going from bold back to soft takes longer, because the skin needs to be cleaned and prepped again. Planning the order with the photographer keeps the day moving and gives each look the time it needs.
GETTING A LOOK READY FOR THE CAMERA
Send me the images that explain the feeling of the shoot, along with the lighting plan if you have one. A close portrait calls for a different balance of skin texture and definition than a wider frame. I can make a look softer or stronger in the chair, but it helps to know whether the first setup is by a window, under studio lights or outside. Tell me about wardrobe changes too, since a different neckline or color can change how a lip or eye reads.
On shoot day I work through the makeup before each person is needed, then check it when the lighting changes. A face that looks right in the makeup chair can catch shine under a lamp, so I watch for that between frames. If you want a second look, I can plan the changes with you rather than rebuilding everything without time set aside.
