The New York Era
New York is where it all began for me. I was surrounded by creativity, energy, and people who were never afraid to express themselves. I immersed myself in acting, directing, and choreography, and along the way became increasingly drawn to the world of hair and makeup.
What stayed with me most was the transformation, not simply how someone looked, but how they felt when everything came together. That connection between artistry, confidence, and self-expression became the foundation of the work I still do today.
Ottawa & Beyond
Life eventually brought me to Ottawa, and it quickly became home. I spent more than 25 years with CTV Ottawa/Bell Media, building my career in the fast-paced world of television and working with an incredible range of people along the way.
Today, my work extends well beyond the studio, from Fashion Week and editorial shoots to bridal, private clients, celebrities, and public figures. No matter who is sitting in my chair, my approach has always been the same: understand the person, enhance what makes them unique, and create something that leaves them feeling confident, polished, and completely themselves.
L.A. Barrett Makeup & Skin Care
After years of working with makeup, I wanted to create a collection that reflected what I value most in beauty: quality, simplicity, and products that make you feel good wearing them.
L.A. Barrett Makeup & Skin Care brings that philosophy to life. It is a collection created for real people, whether you are getting ready for a special occasion or simply want to feel a little more polished every day. Beauty should feel personal, effortless, and most importantly, like you.
