Alexis
was born for this business. She was born at a hospital
on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. If that isnt a sign,
what is?
As
a child she was obsessed with sitting in front of her
drawing board and painting her days away. With a father
who was a magnificent oil painter and a Mother that
won countless beauty contests, she had no choice but to
absorb all of the art and beauty that surrounded her from
a very young age.
At
the age of three her family moved to the country where
another one of her passions was discovered. Riding and
raising horses. Alexis became one of the top National
Champion Horseback Riders, not only in English Jumping,
but Western too. She won over 500 Championships and 1st
Place Trophies, as well as a National Championship Gold
Medal. She made the Olympic Equestrian team in 1975. |

How
did Alexis get her start? She studied makeup at the Joe Blasco
Makeup Academy, in Hollywood, the best school in the world
for makeup. She also attended UCLA to become an Emergency
Medical Technician. By the time she graduated from the Academy,
she was already a full-fledged working makeup artist, and
the rest is history. She has been working ever since. |

Oh,
by the way, have you ever seen or heard of a little Emmy
nominated FOX TV show called American Idol? Well,
if you have, then you are most likely already a fan of Alexis's
work. The magazine cover to the left is an example of some
of the work Alexis has done on American Idol. Alexis
directed all makeup for the hit television show, American
Idol. She and her handpicked team created “the looks” for
the entire cast of this blockbuster show, including the host
and judges. In fact, Alexis treated one of the judges, Paula
Abdul, to a delicious glamour-girl makeover for the show.
Alexis also created a soft, fresh look for the contestants
to emphasize their individual personalities and youth. But
as the competition intensified, Alexis intensified the looks
of the finalists, including Kelly Clarkson, with a stronger,
sexier palette that developed each contestant's look into
a unique “signature style.” In addition, Alexis
gave contestants the confidence to go out on stage knowing
they looked their very best.

“American
Idol contestant Kelly Clarkson started the competition
as the girl next door. But with a little help from
the show's key makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, Kelly … snagged
a … look to match her powerhouse voice.”

"Maybe
you'll never make the Grammy Awards. Maybe you'll
never make a movie or a magazine cover. But you
can still 'star' in your own life. The secret is
bringing out your own natural beauty. Because when
you do, you bring out more than just good looks.
You bring out your own natural confidence, too.
I've dedicated my career to giving clients 'star-quality'
confidence."

"Being
a woman, I think it's fun to be able to enhance your
looks, and for me, it just makes me feel better about
myself...
you haven't had your makeup done unless you've had it done by Alexis."

Besides
her EMT training, Alexis draws on her early experience
as an Emergency Room Nursing Assistant to reach out to
patients who have undergone plastic or reconstructive surgery.
Through her gentle approach and proven makeup techniques,
Alexis helps these patients learn how to recover their
looks and their confidence. Alexis has had much experience
and great success working with clients that would benefit
from the ability to improve their appearance following
plastic or corrective surgery with an emphasis on a self-maintenance
program (post-surgical makeovers).
She
has received recommendations from doctors who sing her
praises in this area. Dr. Walter Tietz, a Psychiatrist,
wrote in a recommendation letter, "Alexis is a very
sensitive, capable and professional makeup artist who
can effectively deal with any child, adolescent or adult
in need of improving his or her self-image," Dr.
J.C. Nemetz, a top Plastic Surgeon and author on the
subject, said "she has been helpful in alleviating
some of the postoperative depression by adding a better
look to the patient" and Dr. B. Noal Robinson, an
ER doctor, called her "bright, astute and capable
in all of the activities that she was involved with." |
