continues to create looks and styles that other makeup artists have never dreamed of. Alexis has worked with them all.

Today's hottest celebrities call upon Alexis to create their unforgettable looks. For the past 22 years, Alexis has been doing makeup for television, movies, videos, print (magazines, billboards, etc.). She has worked on countless stars and celebrities, from the top super models to the most famous and glamorous of actors and actresses. In April 2003, Alexis went to Europe to work on Shakira's Tour of the Mongoose. Alexis also went to Australia to do Pamela Anderson's makeup for the 2002 Warner Bros. movie Scooby Doo. She is one of the best in Hollywood, in the world for that matter.

Many would argue that she IS the best. Exotic beauties like Carmen Electra, Bo Derek, and Paula Abdul all rave, "There's no one like Alexis!"

Alexis also does hair styling, which she has also been praised for. By having the skill and talent to do both, Alexis possesses the power to create and achieve an entire, unforgettable makeover on her clients. She says,"It is a wonderful and magical feeling when I finish, 100% of the time, for both me and the person I am working on."

People who've been lucky enough to have Alexis do their makeup have said she has the hands of an angel. She also has the hands and the eyes of an awesome artist. Harper's Bazaar magazine called her "The Svengali-like" makeup artist credited with giving Pam Anderson her trademark sex-kitten look.

Sometimes they just don’t know how to bring it out. Makeup can help you unleash those qualities."

Alexis was born for this business. She was born at a hospital on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. If that isn’t a sign, what is?

As a child she was obsessed with sitting in front of her drawing board and painting her days away. With a father who was a magnificent oil painter and a Mother that won countless beauty contests, she had no choice but to absorb all of the art and beauty that surrounded her from a very young age.

At the age of three her family moved to the country where another one of her passions was discovered. Riding and raising horses. Alexis became one of the top National Champion Horseback Riders, not only in English Jumping, but Western too. She won over 500 Championships and 1st Place Trophies, as well as a National Championship Gold Medal. She made the Olympic Equestrian team in 1975.

Oh, by the way, have you ever seen or heard of a little Emmy nominated FOX TV show called American Idol? Well, if you have, then you are most likely already a fan of Alexis's work. The magazine cover to the left is an example of some of the work Alexis has done on American Idol. Alexis directed all makeup for the hit television show, American Idol. She and her handpicked team created “the looks” for the entire cast of this blockbuster show, including the host and judges. In fact, Alexis treated one of the judges, Paula Abdul, to a delicious glamour-girl makeover for the show. Alexis also created a soft, fresh look for the contestants to emphasize their individual personalities and youth. But as the competition intensified, Alexis intensified the looks of the finalists, including Kelly Clarkson, with a stronger, sexier palette that developed each contestant's look into a unique “signature style.” In addition, Alexis gave contestants the confidence to go out on stage knowing they looked their very best.

"Maybe you'll never make the Grammy Awards. Maybe you'll never make a movie or a magazine cover. But you can still 'star' in your own life. The secret is bringing out your own natural beauty. Because when you do, you bring out more than just good looks. You bring out your own natural confidence, too. I've dedicated my career to giving clients 'star-quality' confidence."

Besides her EMT training, Alexis draws on her early experience as an Emergency Room Nursing Assistant to reach out to patients who have undergone plastic or reconstructive surgery. Through her gentle approach and proven makeup techniques, Alexis helps these patients learn how to recover their looks and their confidence. Alexis has had much experience and great success working with clients that would benefit from the ability to improve their appearance following plastic or corrective surgery with an emphasis on a self-maintenance program (post-surgical makeovers).

She has received recommendations from doctors who sing her praises in this area. Dr. Walter Tietz, a Psychiatrist, wrote in a recommendation letter, "Alexis is a very sensitive, capable and professional makeup artist who can effectively deal with any child, adolescent or adult in need of improving his or her self-image," Dr. J.C. Nemetz, a top Plastic Surgeon and author on the subject, said "she has been helpful in alleviating some of the postoperative depression by adding a better look to the patient" and Dr. B. Noal Robinson, an ER doctor, called her "bright, astute and capable in all of the activities that she was involved with."
