Film Makeup Designer Dublin
& High-End Commercials
I am Leticia Vera. On a film set, there is no room for error. Under 4K/8K resolutions and cinema optics, my product calibration is this difference between a wrap and a costly reshoot. As Head of Department (HOD), I provide uninterrupted technical makeup services for Line Producers and Directors of Photography (DoP) who demand millimeter precision to optimize eligible expenditure in Ireland.
An audiovisual film set
is not a beauty salon
A massive bottleneck I see in Dublin arises when hiring profiles oriented towards consumer sectors. A set is not a beauty salon. Lacking optical calibration in front of a lens drastically multiplies costs and working hours in post. Wrong product selection ruins recorded footage and jeopardizes crew efficiency.
My technical execution is exact: I mitigate oxidation of foundations and color refraction under LED panels and high-intensity HMI lighting. I meticulously select products to avoid unwanted shine. To refine project budgets and comply with strict guidelines from the Dublin City Film Office, one needs a set professional—accustomed to pressure, SIPTU crew pace, and absolute image control inside major soundstages like Ardmore Studios or Troy Studios. I love how a well-executed design can totally transform a scene.
Block 02 — Technical Diagnosis
Why an unspecialized profile
sinks shooting schedules
Loss of Visual Continuity
Raccord control between takes is non-negotiable. I metrically document every actor's state in continuity photos to prevent flaws destroying visual narrative in final edits.
Glare and Optical Refraction
In front of cinema optics, standard consumer products melt. I prioritize colorimetry and control of unwanted shine, refining textures for high definition without over-saturating skin.
Disconnection with DoP
I work in strict symbiosis with Directors of Photography and camera crews. Anticipating lighting setups and filming times is vital to optimize daily call sheets.
Post-Edit Overruns
Poor on-set execution forces costly frame-by-frame digital retouching. My operational shielding on set protects a company's subsequent color grading work.

Rigor, colorimetry and continuity
on a Dublin film set
— Step 01
Look Design & Camera Tests
I perform thorough script breakdowns and conduct preliminary camera tests for character design. I adjust foundations and pigments to be flawless under 4K and 8K sensors.

Operational Shielding at Video Village
I monitor image take by take through a combo. I keep continuity unaltered and perform ultra-fast technical touch-ups between scenes to ensure shooting rhythm never halts.

SFX Fitting & Daily Execution
I guarantee absolute reliability. My improvisation is zero; I manage basic prosthetics and apply extreme fixation techniques. Even during a late night shoot, I have enough stamina and advanced tricks for enhancing characters while maintaining continuity.
Block 04 — Industry Track Record
A proven trajectory with
the best Irish talent
Throughout my career, I have worked with demanding clients across shows, films, and global campaigns. My technical background was built on set, ensuring all talent look their best. I have collaborated with award-winning crews who totally understand visual precision.
When getting a specialized professional, one can just see this difference on screen. Producers request a profile like mine because I deliver a natural finish that holds up all day, even for musicians in music videos. Visit my gallery to see more. All content is protected by copyright.
Block 05 — B2B Operations
Inquiries
I deploy technical kits with brands formulated specifically for HD cinema and television. Whether shooting on the streets of the capital or inside large-scale facilities like Troy Studios, I reject commercial cosmetics oxidizing under HMI lights, ensuring matte textures and extreme durability for commercials.
No. I strictly decline wedding inquiries. My workflow is not designed for a bridal party or bridesmaids, nor do I offer makeup lessons for private clients. I do not cover social events or occasions. If someone wants to make a booking for a wedding day or a special event at home to look beautiful, I would suggest a commercial salon. My focus is exclusively reserved for screen.
