As the Key MakeUp Artist for PinUp Makeover, I have the pleasure of meeting clients of all ages, races, shapes and sizes. People come in for various reasons, typically to feel better about themselves or to give their pictures as a gift to someone else.

It's wonderful to be able to contribute to the transformation of the everyday gal into a glamourous PinUp. These women are like butterflies. They come in at first, very shy as if their self esteem is wrapped up in a cocoon. Once the makeup, wigs and costume go on they're beaming with pride like a recently released butterfly. It's quite amazing.

Lorraine Murphy is the Photographer and Owner of PinUp MakeOver. She then takes these beaming beauties into the photo studio where she coaches them through the PinUp Photoshoot, reassuring them of their poses, facial expressions, body lines and what have you. Aside from being an amazing Photographer, she really makes these women feel comfortable and special, as they should.

It's really quite a shame that so many women have such a low self esteem. However, I really do have the greatest job in the world where I can introduce these women to beauty they never knew they had.
