Makeup for cameras is different from makeup for a dinner. Flash photography can flatten features and reveal flashback from some powders; high-definition video shows texture; strong lighting can wash out color. Mahsa's red carpet and editorial experience means complexion, contour, and color are built for how the look will actually be seen.

Special effects makeup is part of that same background, and Mahsa takes it as a booking rather than only a credential: character and effects work for shoots and productions, and Halloween looks for people who want something beyond a costume-shop kit. Send references and say how long the look needs to hold.

For productions and shoots, include your call time, location, and any creative brief or references when you request an appointment. For a special effects or Halloween look, tell Mahsa what you have in mind.

1. 01Share the occasionTell Mahsa the date, setting, outfit, and the look you want.
2. 02Plan the lookBring inspiration photos. Mahsa adapts them to your features and skin rather than copying them exactly.
3. 03Skin firstYour skin is prepped so makeup applies smoothly and lasts through the event.
4. 04ApplicationA full application typically takes about an hour to an hour and a half.

Some clients want to look like themselves on their best day; others want drama. Natural makeup focuses on even, luminous skin and soft definition. Soft glam adds sculpting, shimmer, and lashes without heaviness. Full glam brings a sculpted complexion, a defined eye, and a bolder lip. Tell Mahsa how you want to feel, and she will balance the look to your face.

• Arrive with a clean, moisturized face and no makeup.
• Bring inspiration photos and a photo of your outfit.
• Avoid new skincare products, peels, or facials in the days before.
• Mention skin sensitivities or allergies before application begins.
• Wear a top that is easy to take off without touching your face.

Appointments take place at Mahsa's studio at 18321 Ventura Blvd, Suite 680, in Tarzana, convenient to Encino, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Calabasas, and the rest of the San Fernando Valley. If you need makeup at your own location, ask about availability when you book. Directions.

Pricing depends on the look, timing, and whether the appointment is in the studio or on location. Mahsa confirms pricing when you request an appointment.
