Testimonials

In September of 2010, I accepted an assignment to photograph fitness expert, Mark MacDonald for the cover of his upcoming book, Body Confidence.  A brief Internet search for professional Make-up artists led to me Gayle York.  After reviewing her client list and comparing her experience to other artists, I felt confident I had found the seasoned professional I was looking for.

I sent and e-mail  to Gayle and she responded quickly and asked all the right questions.  Our agreement was made and we met on set only a few days later.  Gayle arrived early and was prepared to begin her work. She established rapport with Mark, the publicist and myself immediately. She followed my direction and was fearless.

Gayle’s make-up skills were strong and appropriate for the environment, but our real challenge was that our client had a ”colic” where his hair in front naturally sprung forward.  The picture editor was concerned about this and directed us to manage it so that it would not present an issue in the shots.  Gayle didn’t hesitate a moment to provide the necessary ”hair artistry” needed to pull off the shoot where others may have choked in this area.

Since then, Mark’s book has been published. Gayle obviously impressed him as he mentions her in his acknowledgments.  Gayle York, pleasant to work with, no drama, consummate professional.  I wouldn’t hesitate to call on her in the future.

I booked Gayle for makeup for a last minute television shoot and she was wonderful. She was on-time, upbeat, knew exactly what I was looking for, and did a great job! I will definitely use her again!
