STORY FALU

FREELANCE PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST/BEAUTY ADVISOR

I have more than 15 years of combined professional image consulting, styling experience, and beauty consulting experience executing final looks for fashion clients such as Oscar de la Renta and Reem Acra at Bridal Week, and Vivienne Tam, Calvin Klein and Prabal Gurung at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. I provide public relations assistance at major events, such as the Tribeca Film Festival, Stand Up For Heroes, AMFAR, and Disruptive Innovation Awards, to ensure they run smoothly and successfully. As a personal image consultant and mentor for women at Dress for Success, I focus on empowering clients to reach their full potential by having confidence in their appearance and how they present themselves professionally. My experience as a personal stylist, image consultant, beauty advisor and mentor to women has led me to found my own non-profit that seeks to transform and empower women to feel good about themselves. Revelations of True Beauty brings forth the inner beauty in disadvantaged women with personal makeovers.
