The Hair & Makeup Artist Network will host its first annual Monster Ball Halloween Celebration on Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 at Tangier in Los Feliz. On hand will be scores of celebrity hair and makeup artists from film, television, and print, transforming staff and performers into various ghastly ghouls.
The Monster Ball will provide an opportunity for guests to mix, mingle, and scream with some of the entertainment industry’s top directors, producers, photographers, agents, and of course, hair and makeup artists, who will be creating “walking billboards” to showcase their work.
Doors will open at 8pm. A cover charge of $25 before 10pm guarantees a drink ticket and food. Live music from The Trainwrecks and Fu Dogs starts at 10pm. The evening will also include a DJ, costume contest, and door prizes donated by Cinema Secrets, Elain Cosmetics, Mothership Salon, Vivid M.D. Skincare and more.
Since its inception The Hair and Makeup Artist Network has already partnered with some of the beauty industry’s biggest names. Some heavy-hitters who recently taught workshops include: Cloutier Agency, Smashbox, Paul Mitchell, Make Up For Ever, Emmy Winner Fred Blau, celebrity hairstylist Neeko, and Department Heads from “Boston Legal” and “Monster’s Ball.”
The Network was born from the experience makeup artist, Michelle Lee had upon starting her own Hollywood career in the mid-nineties. Now an established artist who has worked with A-list celebrities Geena Davis, Rachael Leigh Cook, Dennis Hopper, and Robert Redford, Lee now helps her fellow artists learn the importance of Networking in the entertainment industry. “It’s the only way to get work!”
