   "My main motive is Makeup Artistry for the expressive outlet, which I pair up with Hair Styling and Wardrobe Design to round out the Model and Photographer in me."


About
   Alicia Mariah Elfving, hailing from the Pacific Northwest, is a rounded artist who favors makeup and producing as her major outlet of expression. Working with Vorpal Images as the Makeup Artist/Stylist and Producer by the side of the Photographer and Director, she practices her art frequently and at the highest level of detail.

   Alicia's makeup kit consists of a wide variety of cosmetics in color, brand, and style. Coming prepared with two hefty bags of makeup and hair supplies, Alicia has colors to match any skintone. Elfving practices the highest level of sanitation and only invests in quality makeup and hair products to ensure your skin is happy, and you look radiant!

   Starting late 2006, Alicia began working on set with photographers, stylists, and models to gather a well organized portfolio. Now that her major portfolio goals have been achieved, she wishes to work on editorial, print and TV/film projects. Recently, Alicia worked on two covers and three features for NW Tattoo Magazine, based in Eugene, OR. Her photography team with Kenneth Benjamin Reed was featured in Marquis, an international fantasy magazine based in Germany.

Words
"Alicia is not only a great MUA but she is also invaluable as a second opinion in providing ideas to help make the photos come alive. She's a triple threat: MUA, Model, with a Photographer's eye. I would gladly work with her again."
               -Isaac L. Koval (photographer)

"I was sad when I took a shower and washed away all the make-up, you really did a fantastic job. I didn't know I could look like that. I need a make-up artist more often."
               -Lindsay DeArmond (model)

"You have a fantastic mind when it comes to this kind of thing!"
               -Pete Springer (photographer)
