Ginamarie began her love of makeup at a very early age while studying and performing ballet at the School of American Ballet in New York City. Her career as a ballerina inspired her to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology. While working in the fashion industry for companies such as Eli Tahari, Max Mara and Gallery Lafayette, she learned about the many faces of makeup: from fashion editorial to advertising to runway.

In 2003, Ginamarie moved to Los Angles to pursue a full-time career as a makeup artist. She attended Cinema Makeup School in Hollywood. While living in Los Angeles, she worked with fashion photographer Tom Concordia and the fashion label Heatherette.

Since returning to New York, Ginamarie has become known for her specialty — beauty makeup. She has worked with leading makeup companies Mac Cosmetics and Nars. Her clients have included Escada and Tiffany’s, just to name a few. She has also worked with celebrity photographers Roxanne Lowit and Troy Ward and fashion photographers Anna Thiessen and Rex Lott.

Ginamarie has had the privilege to work Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week under the direction of renowned makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, who is known for her Louis Vuitton campaigns. Ginamarie has worked backstage at runway shows for designers Donna Karan, Cynthia Rowley, Jill Stuart, Mulberry, Issac Mizrahi, Heatherette and Jennifer Lopez. Ginamarie’s most recent work includes the role of key makeup artist for The Purple Event at the Sony Atrium where she did makeup for celebrities Anna Ortiz and Mark Indelicato of Ugly Betty, Jillian Harris of The Bachelorette and Alex McCord of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York. Her work has been featured in Thirteen Minutes Magazine, in a feature editorial of designer Laquan Smith for Glossy Magazine, on an episode of The Real Housewives of New York and on the TLC Network. Ginamarie has also recently added designer Bill Blass to her client list and was hired by Grammy nominated singer Maria Conchita Alonso for the red carpet at the Hoboken International Film Festival.

Ginamarie’s vast knowledge of the beauty industry, her impeccable attention to detail and own personal style make her one of the industry’s sought-after talents. In addition to her makeup credits she is also a licensed skin therapist and certified lash extension specialist.
