Nancie was born in Jackson, Mississippi. Growing up she was fascinated
by the way people looked, and how to make them look better. Even in
high school and college she was doing classmates' makeup and hair. She
moved to San Francisco with her husband, Keith in 1972. She worked her
way into the makeup world after a short career as a fashion designer of
her own line of women's clothes.
She is an award-winning makeup artist who has worked in the
entertainment industry as well as the film and advertising fields for
over 20 years. An active member of local 706 Makeup Artists and
Hairstylists Union, she has served as Key Makeup Artist and Hair
Stylist on feature films, commercials, skin-care and beauty
infomercials, corporate films, and national and international
Television productions. Her experience on print photo shoots includes
covers for magazines, books, CDs, DVDs, product packaging, billboards
& web sites.
She is highly sought after for several areas of makeup artistry;
natural makeup and hair, glamor makeup, period makeup and hair, and
special makeup effects. Her knowledge and expertise in air brush makeup
has garnered her work on many Hi Definition productions, including CNET
TV, Channel 5 news and weather, Google, and a feature film shot
entirely in HD.
