Real Simple worked with Paola Orlando and Donna D for their May issue!
Makeup & hair artist Paola Orlando was born in Argentina. Paola grew up in the salon, where her father, a famous hairdresser worked and still performs his magic to this day. Paola's livelihood runs in her blood. However, it wasn't always this way. Originally, she set out studying business but eventually, with her creative juices flowing, she decided to follow in the same footsteps of her family. She moved to New York City in 1994 and studied makeup at Alcone Make up center and Parson's school of design. Paola travels worldwide searching for what is different. Making her colors mixed and always following originality.
Details, perfection and exigency are the three pillars of her work. Paola's work has appeared in V magazine, Vogue, GQ, Elle, Marie Claire, Glamour, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Interview, Fitness, W magazine and others. She worked with many known photographers, just to mention some, Billy Coleman, Chino Moro, Oleg Covian, Ricardo Tinelli, Gilles Bensimon, Claus Wicraft, Eva Muller, Joseph Mulligan and Bruce Weber. When it comes to advertisement she has clients such of Bumble & Bumble, Tommy Hilfiger, Perry Ellis, Levi's, Cosabella, Vichy, Lancome, Bensimon, Rebook, Fila, Walmart, Chico's, etc. She had done fashion shows for Nordstrom, Macy's, Calvin Klein, J Crew, Victoria's Secret, Cynthia Steefe, Levis, Tomas Maier, Shiseido, Chloe and more. Some of the celebrities Paola has worked with include Roberto Cavalli, Byork, Jessi Klein, Jane Segmore, Venus Williams, Alvaro Quiros, Susana Gimenez, Don King, etc. Paola has many concerns about makeup and it's uses. For her the most important step in makeup is what people aren't supposed to see or recognize. Paola says, "Foundation + Concealer + toner is a combination of steps that without, you can't create good artistic makeup." In other words, this is the canvas, which belongs to a frame. After this, you can draw an infinite amount of things and play with colors on a clean and corrected face. In her free time, Paola loves to create abstract types of art pieces and travel to exotic destinations. In the future, she would like to develop her own cosmetic line.
