Lorraine Altamura

     Lorraine Altamura was a teen model with Ford Agency in the late 60's.  Convinced she was the only brunette in the industry & preferring to work behind the camera, the segway to "make-up" was a cinch. After a few years of doing make-up and hair in the harsh world of "Super Models" Lorraine chose to move into Film and TV Commercials.  Today, having invested many years into raising 4 children, Lorraine's confidence, ability and professionalism as a make-up artist are a valuable asset to any work that includes PEOPLE!  Whoever sits in the chair, not only knows that they look better than they ever  ("And I still look like me!" is often expressed), but that they are being well cared for!
     Having worked with photographers such as Joyce Tenneson & Robert Farber,
Directors like Steve Horn, John Derek, Robert Altman and Joe Pitka were a breeze.
Lorraine's ability is extensive:
  • Clean & Natural/punch!
  • Stylized &/or Period!
  • Body Make-up
  • Special Effects  
  • Wigs/extensions 
     Lorraine is a native New Yorker, yet her craft was honed in Los Angeles, where make-up and hair is NATURAL & usually intended for the large screen.  That is why Sony has labeled her the "Hi-Def Queen".  Lorraine is very enthusiastic, yet able to maintain a low-key presence on the set.  Her attitude reflects a heart filled with compassion, knowing she is there to serve!
Lorraine loves to travel, speak other languages, ski, cook and be part of a team.
