Aimee Macabeo

Makeup and creature effects hair specialist Aimee Macabeo has always been artistic, though it took her a while to figure out which professional path to pursue. The California native and self-declared Los Angeles Kings addict started out as a fashion major and transitioned to makeup at the Joe Blasco Makeup Artist Training Center in Hollywood. She worked full-time at a hospital while juggling makeup school and later dabbled in toy design and fine art.

Aimee ultimately ended up building a career in Makeup FX and went to cosmetology school to hone her hair specialty, which she now describes as an “obsession.”

Aimee’s fantastic work can be seen in many film and television hits including Avatar, The Amazing Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Avengers, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Rings, Wonder, American Horror Story, The Mandalorian, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and the upcoming Monkey Man, just to name a few.
