Welcome!

Hey! Welcome to PIGMENT: An insider's look at the world of makeup.

While there are plenty of blogs out there in the stratosphere devoted to the best concealers or cutest packages, the information is mostly coming from makeup enthusiasts rather than professionals. If you want a pro's word, you probably have to pick up a beauty magazine (and even then, some of those tips and reviews have been bought and sold). But these are tough times boys and girls! Who wants to spend $3.95 on Cosmo when you can get the latest and cutest from your friends here at PIGMENT.

My name is Becca and I have been a professional makeup artist for 10 years. I am currently the Makeup Department Head at Law and Order: SVU and I freelance when the show isn't shooting (which is not very often as fans of syndicated TV are aware). The best part of being a makeup artist in film and television is the balance between character makeups, beauty makeups and special effects. Spending my days messing around with all sorts of faces, powders and potions has expanded my understanding of products, techniques, off-label uses (if you dare), and of course, this industry leaves me with plenty of Tales from the Trenches.

So keep visiting PIGMENT for the insider's look at the business of looking great!
