VICTOR CEMBELLIN
Victor began his career in makeup artistry back in high school in Pleasanton, California while performing in musical theatre. The ability makeup had to completely change the identity of ones character was absolutely exhilarating- and he was hooked! After taking his final bow on stage in 1995, Victor focused his efforts backstage- honing and developing his craft. At 18 he decided to explore a career as a beauty makeup artist with one goal in mind- To become a working makeup artist in the ever-changing fashion industry. Years later- Victor has enjoyed a diverse and rewarding career traveling each season to fashion week in New York, London, Milan and Paris, shooting with some of the industry's top publications and providing makeup services for entertainment's "who's who". On the art of makeup Victor simply states: "Makeup has the unique ability to straighten ones emotional posture"!
