Hello, my name is Rebecca Hurwitz and I am a Los Angeles-based makeup artist and hair stylist specializing in both beauty and special effects makeup. For over 15 years I have worked both locally and on location in the film and entertainment industry. I also focus on weddings and special events including red-carpet events, and video and photo shoots. 

Raised in the suburbs of Chicago, my childhood passions included hair and makeup artistry as well as filmmaking, graphic design, applied arts, and photography. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Iowa followed by completing a Master Makeup Program from Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles. 

My time at Cinema Makeup School gave me the training and practice for my later years as a makeup artist on set. Some highlights of my career include doing prosthetics for Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights, working as a prosthetic lab tech at Immortal Masks character effects studio, and specializing as an airbrush artist for the immersive experience – “Arcane” by Secret Cinema.

Working alongside countless professionals in the industry, I have honed in on makeup skills in both technical and creative capacities.  Learning from peers and mentors has helped me grow tremendously as an artist. I have been fortunate to assist some of the finest makeup artist professionals in the industry including Academy Award Winner Joel Harlow, BAFTA Winner Emma Croft, Colleen Kreighton, and Sam Addington.

I love utilizing makeup to tell stories and creating curated characters that complement each project. I enjoy working with other creators, directors, and performers to bring cohesion to the final result. I look forward to creating with you!
