About Laurie-Beth

I have an interesting sojourn in the fashion/beauty and television world.

My background began as a makeup and hair artist when I arrived in Los Angeles in 1999. I quickly hooked up with my idol: makeup artist: Sharon Gault (Madonna, Lady Gaga), who took me under her wing and introduced me to the who’s who of Hollywood and had me assisting her for a period of 4 years. I worked with many great photographers and directors, most notable: David LaChapelle. I then landed in commercial and music videos as a casting director where I fused my creative talents with a keenly developed eye for scouting new talent and art directing photo shoots.

Moving into the agency world, I first worked with Wilhelmina/Los Angeles, as the head agent for models and actors, then was the director of Fred Segal Beauty, repping hair, makeup artists, stylists and nail technicians. Before returning home, I was the head agent at Epiphany Artist Group. The roster included many top artists (Ashunta Sheriff, Wouri Vice, Ursula Stephens) who work regularly with Rihanna, Lady Gaga, L.L. Cool J. and Alicia Keys and many other top trendsetters. My background with every level of celebrityhood gives me a unique perspective on fashion and beauty in today’s world.
