Lori Ovitz, a top makeup artist for models and celebrities for print and film for over 20 years has learned first hand the enormous energy and empowerment that looking good – or simply looking like yourself – can give to a person. Watching many cancer patients take control over their side effects using makeup, forever changed the way Lori viewed makeup, and ultimately, her career.
Lori’s passion is to make a difference in people’s lives who are dealing with appearance issues during cancer treatment and beyond by sharing easy to follow step-by-step makeup application tips and techniques.
She touches lives in many different ways, including conducting demonstrations all over the country at places like University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins, MD Anderson, to name a few.
Lori has also served on the Board of Trustees at the University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation since 2005 and volunteered to improve the lives of kids with cancer for the past 15 years at Comer Children’s Hospital.
“Makeup will not cure cancer but it
helps make it easier to face the mirror and the world with confidence.” – Lori
