Samantha Ward

When I was 13 I decided I wanted to be a professional makeup artist when I "grew up." July of 2008 I decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue that dream. I graduated from Cinema Makeup School's Master program in Jan 2009. I am trained in beauty, high-fashion, character, prosthetics, special fx, and HD makeups. I love being on set and ideally want to work exclusively in tv/film.

I have experience working on HD films and film shot on the RED camera.
So far I have worked on 2 feature films, 5 short films, an 3 episodes for webseries' , and several music videos.
The video for the song "Toxic" by A Static Lullaby was released on the homepage of Mtv.com and Mtv2.com as well as on MTV2.
