Hey there! I am Cathryn Brewer, owner of Gypsy Lane Make-up Artistry, in the Calgary area. I have been working doing make-up on and off for the last 15 years. I have done photo shoots, film, theatre, and fashion show make-up, as well as hair and wardrobe styling. If you are looking for someone who can visualize a concept quickly, with a lot of attention to detail and run with it, I am the one for you! If you want to do a shoot, or need an extra professional, please feel free to contact me.

I have experience in Fashion, Film, and Theatre. I completed Make-up Artistry and Aesthetics at Marvel College in 1996. While at Marvel, I won the Fantasy Competition for Make-up and Nail Art. From there I enrolled at Viva Cosmetics and was at the top of my class for their Advanced Make-up Techniques. I apprenticed and learned Special Effects Make-up for Film and Theatre from Sean Bridle of the X-Files and Lord of the Rings. I worked on various theatre pieces, and did an Apprenticeship for Hair Styling through Carmen Hair Salon in 1999. I have helped within the gay community as well, helping some of the guys become the girls they wanted to be. I helped launch “Mystare” in Calgary in 1998. It was an interesting experience to say the least, but I am proud to say that she is still performing today!

I continue to raise the standard that I set in 1996, and will continue to hone my skills. I am looking for experiences that will challenge me and make me try that much harder. When you work with me, I promise to give my all to the project, and to make sure everyone leaves the project happy!

My recent accomplishments include Season Two Episode Two of Poker Girls web series, completed shooting on an international ad campaign for Ammolite by Aurora, and recently competing in a makeup competition at the Allied Beauty Alliance show in Calgary. I am currently working on an independent film project to hopefully be wrapped filming in the next month. Feel free to take a look at the weblinks to the two web based film pieces I have done.

Please contact me for my rates. I am willing to look at collaboration on other projects, but my portfolio is full at this point.
