LEAH RIAL HAIR & MAKEUP

Recently I saw a copy of an aptitude test I took when I was 9 years old; "Leah should pursue something creative that will allow her to work with people in a non- structured environment." Having never been told the results of my testing, it was not by design, but only through fate and good fortune that I became a makeup artist. Happily it’s a craft that I love and one that came to me naturally.

My career began unwittingly, working at a Christian Dior cosmetics counter while attending college. I quickly learned that I had a talent for applying makeup and it wasn’t long before I had the highest sales in the country aside from Bloomingdales, Manhattan.

My “big break” happened when I lived next door to a burgeoning photographer John Patrick Salisbury and cinematographer Henri Bristol. I did lots of photo shoots with John Patrick, and worked on Henri's USC masters thesis project. His film, "Seed", went on to be nominated at the Sundance Film Festival and I went on to make 3 features with the leading actor Rose McGowan, thus beginning my career in film and television.

Many elements need to come together in a production or photo shoot. The subject, the crew, long hours, hard work, experienced talent, and laughter are all just a part of what it takes to make it a success. To that end, I believe in the following: -Keeping the focus on the work, the mood light and positive -Remembering the job is 60% how they look and 40% how they feel -Respect the trust an actor is investing in you in creating a look -Watch over them throughout the day -Remain aware of light and shadow -Never discount the privacy and mutual respect involved in the actor/makeup artist relationship.

4 -Every day I work I become a better artist -There is something to learn in each face each day

I feel blessed to have fallen into a craft that I love and blessed that my passion has manifested in a career that I am proud of. I have traveled to the most remote and unexpected places and have met a huge spectrum of people. I have worked with legendary actors, Peter O’Toole and Olivia DeHavaland and actors I’m sure are legends in the making.

Currently I live in Sherman Oaks with my husband Guy and our two little dogs. Just for the joy of it, I have helped with the writing and production of several short films. Please feel free to enjoy them at www.guysfilms.com
