IN CONVERSATION WITH
LUCKY
Who I am and who I’ll beFor myself, I want makeup to free me, and not hide me or trap me.
Lucky’s fascination with makeup as a tool for transformation and expression started as a child. Rather than pictures of pop stars and teen idols, Lucky’s room was covered with editorial looks from magazines. After starting theatre school to be on stage, Lucky quickly realized it was the backstage makeup that really fascinated her. After shaving her eyebrows to create a look to land a job at a MAC counter, Lucky began honing her skills as an artist. When MTV Canada launched, Lucky was the lead makeup artist, and her talents have taken her around the world - from Tel Aviv to Mexico City. For the past seven years, Lucky has been the personal makeup artist to Catherine O’Hara and Annie Murphy on Schitt’s Creek. Lucky is known for her collaborative spirit and her work has been recognized internationally.
