A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Deborah Isshac
Professional Makeup Artist
The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing the transformative power of makeup—enhancing each client’s natural beauty and seeing their joy when they look in the mirror.
I believe that makeup is not just about aesthetics; it’s about confidence and self-expression. My mission is to help each person I work with embrace their individuality while feeling radiant and self-assured.
Through a collaborative approach, I listen to my client's desires and concerns, tailoring each look to reflect their personality and vision. This dedication to personalization creates a trusting environment where my clients can truly shine, while building genuine relationships- because to me, connection is just as important as the artistry itself.
With over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry, my journey began after graduating from makeup school, where I immersed myself in the world of editorial and luxury beauty. My career led me to prestigious roles, including working with Christian Dior Beauty and serving as a regional makeup artist with Lancôme Cosmetics for Southern California Nordstrom stores. I contributed to the launch of Smashbox Cosmetics Nordstrom, becoming the counter manager for several years refining my expertise in high-end, camera-ready makeup.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working at esteemed events such as Vegan Fashion Week, New York Bridal Fashion Week, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, The Oscars, the American Music Awards, and the VH1 Music Awards. My artistry has also been featured in collaborations with Warner Brothers, Vanity Fair and in celebrity makeup for renowned figures including Rosario Dawson (Men in Black), Katey Sagal (8 Simple Rules), Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives), Deidre Hall (Days of Our Lives), Amy Yasbeck (Modern Family), Sammi Hanratty (Shameless), Courtney Lopez, and more.
My passion now lies in luxury bridal beauty, where I specialize in creating timeless, luminous looks for brides who want to feel their absolute best on their special day. Based in Glendale, CA, I offer a luxury experience tailored to each client, ensuring they feel nothing short of extraordinary!
