MIKAL SKYMakeup & Hair Artist

To all that know her, the name Mikal Sky is synonymous with innovation and style. A true visionary of fashion, despite her small town up bringing in rural New Mexico, Mikal Sky showed a penchant for fashion early on.

Much to the disapproval of her conservative town, Mikal, as a teenager, started designing her own 80's clothing and accessories as well as experimenting with make up and hair.

As an artist and a budding designer, Mikal put her own signature on everything. Moving into adulthood, Mikal combined this flair for fashion with her professionalism to a career in aesthics. She began managing high end salons and day spas in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Mikal took advantage of the salon sponsored educational programs to further refine her skills in makeup technique and artistry.

Seeking a greater challenge, Mikal moved to Los Angeles in 1999 where she immediately found work as a make up artist in film, television and print.

Mikal, accomplished in the art of yoga and healthy living, lives in Venice, California and continues her career in Los Angeles as a make up artist.

JILL VENTIMIGLIAMakeup Artist
Non-union
Bio:
Her experience in the film industry led her to conceptualize her first product: a foundation that would not break out her clients and would actually benefit the skin. With the creation of the Shea Butter Foundation Stick, Jill decided to go all out and design a full line of cosmetics: Jack & Jill Cosmetics was born.

Jill's approach to beauty is simple, yet classic which is evident in Jack & Jill Cosmetics. Her belief that beauty starts from within is evident in her motto: "beauty from the inside out". Her knack for bringing out the inner beauty of her clients is at the core of her brand. "To touch a woman and give her the gift of confidence makes me feel like I'm doing something good for the world. I try to teach more then just outside beauty. I'm trying to empower the woman of tomorrow," says Jill.
