Judy Twine

An Emmy-nominated, highly sought-after and extremely talented make-up artist, Judy Twine has created an entire line of make-up that allows her to share all of her tricks and secrets of the trade. Take 5 Cosmetics is Judy's beauty mission - a way for her to show women that there is a celebrity in everyone!

Judy developed an interest in art at an early age, which was inevitable coming from a family with great artistic abilities. As a child, she doodled facial features, favoring eyes. At 15 years old, Judy became a model, following the footsteps of her eldest sister who was a former runway and print model. With several prestigious modeling jobs under her belt, Judy was on her way to a successful modeling career, but her preoccupation with make-up held her back. Backstage, instead of joining in on the latest model gossip, she was intrigued with make-up artists and their methods, fascinated with all the different colors and tones. With no experience but plenty of spirit on her side, Judy began doing make-up for other models' photo shoots. One day, after a few shoots with one of San Francisco's most sought after photographers, he asked if she would like to work with him exclusively. Knowing that she needed to further her education, she declined but then immediately enrolled in Beauty College & Specialty courses. She entered every make-up competition with enthusiasm and gusto, placing 1st or 2nd in every category every time.

After she completed her courses, Judy's talent drove her to Hollywood, where she quickly learned that the road to be coming an "industry make-up artist" is one of Hollywood's best kept secrets. Not knowing a soul in the business, Judy groped blindly through the dark, but never lost faith. As luck would have it, during an interview with a prominent casting agent, she heard the agent frantically trying to find a replacement for a make-up artist who would not be able to make it to a music video shoot for a top name artist that weekend. The rest is history.

Since then, Judy's work has graced numerous television and film productions from shows such as "Ugly Betty" and "Eve" to specials such as the Grammy Awards and the American Music Awards. She has also worked on the set of films such as "Freedom Writers" starring Hilary Swank and the upcoming feature "The Better Man" with Martin Lawrence. Her technique and skill has not gone unnoticed! Judy was nominated for an Emmy! Her ambition did not stop there-Take 5 Cosmetics is Judy's entrepreneurial venture into the cosmetic industry. The products cover a broad range of styles and skin tones, making Take 5 the biggest star to steal the scene this year. The entire line was purchased by the production for "Ugly Betty" and used on the show's actors and actresses.

With the debut of her hot new make-up line and her whirlwind career, Judy is all business these days, working in the name of all that's glamorous and beautiful!
