Lani Barry has been a working makeup artist since the age of eighteen, but you could say the story started earlier:As a particularly precocious, cheeky, and over-opinionated child, it made sense to her mother to stick Lani in after school activities…

Working in fast-paced on-set environments, she understands the technical and collaborative demands of film production — from continuity tracking to HD-ready skin work under studio lighting. Her approach combines precision, efficiency, and creative problem-solving, supporting directors, department heads, and talent alike.

Lani is available for union and non-union productions in New York and for travel projects worldwide.
