Mendoza Makeup · New York City
Makeup for cameras, lighting, movement, and impact.
Editorial and performance work demands precision—every line, texture, and finish must hold under scrutiny.
Mendoza Makeup delivers makeup designed to perform.
Editorial and performance makeup is built with intention. Every application is informed by:
Lighting conditions
Camera type (photo or video)
Wardrobe, styling, and set design
Movement, sweat, and duration
The result is makeup that reads clearly on camera, maintains structure under stress, and enhances the overall visual story.
Jorge’s foundation as a premier drag artist informs every editorial and performance booking. Drag is one of the most demanding environments for makeup—high heat, intense lighting, HD video, and extended wear.
Techniques may include:
Structural contour and balance
Long-wear complexion systems
Strategic highlighting and shadow placement
Subtle face taping for lift and shape
High-impact eye and lip design when required
All techniques are adapted to suit the project’s aesthetic—never overdone, always intentional.
