CELEBRITY STYLIST CRYSTAL CARSON APPEARS AS A GUEST ON 'BARE IT ALL'
THE MAKEUP ARTIST
I love contributing something extra to clients whenever they need it. When people come to me for my services, I know they are looking for something special — and I deliver just that.
My art is every growing and changing, and being at the forefront of cosmetic fashion is where I place myself. Understanding regional and ethnic beauty trends is ever more important in the makeup industries far reaching diversification.

THE TV SHOW
I was fortunate to create, host and produce the makeover themed interview show called 'Bare It All'.
It was the most incredible moment of my working career to see my idea blossom into its own reality with the help of an incredible team.
​
The idea of the show came to me one evening walking home, and after many emails and pitches, I finally landed a segment on the Shaw Television Network.
AWARDS SHOW - LIVE BROADCAST
I was the official hair and makeup artist for the PwC All Stars Awards which was broadcast live on RTE One from the Convention Centre in Dublin. Recorded in front of a live audience, it is the gala event on the RTE Sport calendar.
​
Working to extremely tight deadlines, making decisions alone and executing those decisions correctly are huge factors of live television.
​
I was so honoured to look after the hosts Joanne Cantwell, Marty Morrissey and Michael Lyster and also the other on stage guests.
​
It was Michael Lysters last broadcast after 30 years of service to the television industry.

Private fashion shows are what gets the prestigious brands their cult following. In-house shows are an invite only, no expense spared affair. At CHANEL, I have designed and delivered inspirational and aspiring bi-lingual makeup demonstrations in Chinese and English with an interpreter.

CORPORATE ADVERTISMENT
Working as a hair & makeup artist on corporate advertisement is very different to general makeup artist duties. Producing high level 'no makeup looks' and on the spot grooming for both male and female clients is one of my many talents.
On-set etiquette, safety and time keeping are important to me. I have workplace safety (film & TV), SafePass and First Responders First Aid qualifications which make me an even better asset on-set.

WEB SERIES
ONLINE CONTENT & PRODUCTIONS
Edgy short films, empowering student films and engaging web series are part of my working life. I've been very fortunate to work with incredibly talented actors, cinematographers and directors to help see their dreams get realized.

SPECIAL FX
Dirt covered wounds, brutal burns, graveyard zombies, gut wrenching cuts, realistic bruising and bar fight scratches are all in a days work for a makeup artist.
​
Years of practice and play have helped me perfect my skills to achieve realistic results.
