Hi,

My name is Vera Oleynikova, but most people known me by my stage name - Abbie Norml. I love to dabble in all sorts of art forms from modeling to fashion design to painting to making music. I have been active as a professional model since the age of 18 and have posed to the likes of Richard Kern and Suicidegirls in New York and have worked with innovative Montreal-based makeup artists such as Rouge Art and Alex Hansen.

Over the years and after numerous makeup sessions both professional and self-applied, I began to notice my talent and love for the process. Recently I have upgraded my skills and recieved a professional makeup artist certification from the Chelsea School of Aesthetics in Toronto.

I am currently booking TFP and paid fashion, glamour and creative shoots to expand my portfolio. As you may notice, most of my experience comes of doing makeup on myself so I am really looking to gain experience with other facial structures and skin tones.

I do not charge you an hourly rate. However, tf* shoots are subject to a small $20 kit fee to help cover the cost of supplies.

RATES.....are often negotiable, depending on the type of work. Normally, I charge standard semi-pro industry rates:

Full Makeup for a shoot (includes touch-ups)
$50/hr, includes skin prep (mini facial) and complete makeup for photos, and as many subsequent makeup changes/looks as permitted within the 1-2 hours.

Eyes/Brows Only
$20

Hair:
$20 additional for complete blow-out styling.
$10 for basic styling with products.


I have a complete professional kit comprised of MAC, Lancome and Makeup Forever products.

You can also check out my modeling profile (link above) here for more makeup samples as I have almost always done my own makeup (unless otherwise credited)

Here are some nice things that people I have worked with have to say about the experience:

From studiopdk

"Thank you for the great job in prepping the model Julie Supastar for the photoshoot last Friday. Your ideas and suggestions were also well received. It was clear that your experience as a model combined with training as an MUA paid off big time. I would not hesitate to recommend you as well as to work with you again.

Many Thanks!!!
Peter"

from the lovely and gorgeous Julie Superstar:

"Thanks again for the shoot Vera . You were so nice and you knew exactly what to do to make me look pretty . You were also very inspiring for the poses !! You are very talented."

Look for updates in the coming weeks!

Drop me a line and we can talk about any project you may have in mind. All of the makeup you see on this port is done by me, as is the styling. Photographs are also done by me unless otherwise credited.

Happy Holidays!
