• Recreate consistent, brand-approved looks (see our website mattedewey.com)

• Maintain exceptional hygiene, sanitation, and guest experience standards

• Support smooth service flow and consistency across the makeup bar

• 5+ years professional makeup experience (freelance, retail, studio, or set)

• Strong experience with high-end/pro brands including: Danessa Myricks, Viseart, Charlotte Tilbury, Hourglass, Fenty Beauty, Makeup by Mario, RCMA

• Advanced complexion and skin-focused artistry

• Efficient, detail-oriented, and calm under time constraints

• Reliable, professional, and flexible availability

• Located near Hermosa Beach (preferred) or within a 30 minute drive
