We love our actors. Thomas Kent Iwatsubo rose through the ranks in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Welcome to the first installment of “What Makeup Did You Use”? Where I get to ask stylists questions we all want to know, what makeup works best for my skin, for the camera, etc. This was my first shoot working with Nicole Valledor, hair and makeup artist. I met Nicole working together at BloMeDry, a trendy blow dry bar located on Union Street in San Francisco. I knew she had talent as a makeup artist so I couldn’t wait to work with her on a few shoots. I am sure Nicole was g
