CRYSTAL JURADO
SFX Make-Up Artist
PROFILE
No matter the job I am performing, taking pride in my work is integral. To use a phrase rarely seen on a resume, I don’t believe in half-assing anything in life, particularly with any product that I am putting my name to.
Several very lucky opportunities presented themselves to me early on in my make-up effects career, and I do believe my all-or-nothing (but never nothing) attitude has served me well. I’ve been fortunate enough to work alongside some of the greats and I’ve been a sponge all along.
I am dedicated and detailed, with a real love for what I’m doing. I have so much gratitude for the course my life has taken that allows me to get to do something so creative and fantastical.
