Who is the Glam Reaper?
The Glam Reaper is your ultra confident alter ego. Like a fairy godmother of sorts (if fairy godmothers were a little snarky and had a problem with authority) guiding you to baddie status. She is both the angel and devil on your shoulder, whispering affirmations in your ear and also encouraging you to break a few rules. The Glam Reaper encourages you to be unapologetically yourself and give the middle finger to anybody who doesn't like it. She is the voice in your head that tells you to “dump his ass” because you know you deserve better, or “screw it! show a little more cleavage” and is DEFINITELY the reason you’ve been watching Twilight on repeat since 7th grade. She encourages you to embrace every part of you and wear it with confidence. Cause you’ve only got one life to live, so why spend it being anything other than exactly who you are?
Her Purpose
Beauty
The Glam Reaper believes beauty isn’t one size fits all. Whether your style is simple and classic, bold and colorful, or dark and spooky, you deserve to feel confident and beautiful. The Glam Reaper is the champion of confidence and the silencer of self doubt. She wants women to feel beautiful through makeup self expression and to rid the world of anyone who would dare doubt the diva in you. (Like literally she will smite them...) Through her services, she wants to break the beauty mold and redefine “slay”.
SFX/ Character
From basic cuts and bruises to creatures and characters to prosade and prosthetic application, The Glam Reaper creates looks that bite back. Whether it’s a look for your costume party or a large scale production, The Glam Reaper plucks haunting special effects looks right from your nightmares with the flick of her brush. Using out of kit techniques, airbrush, and seamless prosthetic application, The Glam Reaper is a reliable and steady hand to have on set and in your corner.
Core Values
Shameless Self Confidence
The Glam Reaper doesn’t do self doubt – because confidence is your best accessory, duh. She’s unapologetically herself, and wants you to be the same. Whatever your style, she’ll dare you to have the confidence of your most mediocre co-worker.
Boundless Beauty
Beauty takes many forms and so you do. Why limit yourself to one version of who you are? Soft glam? Slay. A rainbow cut crease with rhinestones and glitter? Slay. From the most polished beauty looks to the boldest beats, whatever version of you you’re wearing, The Glam Reaper, is always serving looks to kill.
Deeply Defiant
Makeup shouldn’t be about meeting beauty standards. It should be about breaking them. The Glam Reaper empowers you to throw away what you were TOLD is beautiful and define it for yourself. Because true beauty lies in embracing all the layers that make you, you.
Purposeful Empowerment
The Glam Reaper empowers you to rock whatever look makes you feel powerful, whether that’s soft and glowing or dark and edgy – Because the point isn’t perfection, it’s self-expression. The Glam Reaper is the hype (wo)man in your corner empowering you to take the world by storm.
Frightfully Fierce
Maybe instead of the princess of a palace, you’d rather be the creature that haunts it? Because who says freaky can’t be fierce? The Glam Reaper puts the GORE back in GOREgeous with unique character transformations that bring together beauty and bizarre.
Haunting Horror
Halloween is everyday in The Glam Reaper’s makeup chair. She keeps whimsy alive with SFX makeup year round. Whether it be for a personal project or an on set production, The Glam Reaper is equipped with the skills you need to bring your wildest nightmares to life. Because although she’s your beauty bestie, she’s also the thing that goes bump in the night.
