About Me

Im PAIGHTEN UCCELLO a Los Angeles–based makeup artist and proud graduate of Make-Up Designory (MUD) in Burbank, California. My work lives at the edge of beauty and transformation — from clean, glowing glam to bold editorial looks and full special-effects prosthetics for film, TV, and special occasions.

Makeup, for me, isn’t just color and contour — it’s storytelling. Every brushstroke builds a new world, a new mood, or even a whole new creature. I’m obsessed with that transformation — how texture, tone, and imagination can turn a face into a character.

I bring that same energy to every set: fast, focused, creative, and calm under pressure. My kit’s always stacked, my brushes stay spotless, and I love working side-by-side with artists who live for the craft. Whether I’m airbrushing a lead actor or designing a full FX piece from scratch, I’m all in — chasing that perfect mix of chaos and art that makes people stop and stare.

Makeup isn’t just what I do — it’s how I tell stories. Let’s create something unforgettable.
