Sunniva: A Supermodel Successfully Transforms Twice
Sunniva was a model whose individual path was apparent. She was unlike most of the models I saw back stage and worked with on set. She always had a book out that she was studying. She didn’t carry on small chat, she developed a relationship with whomever she spoke with.
Although she and I didn’t have many opportunities to work together, I’ve always made it a point to let her know how much I respect her and the work she’s done modeling. I’m glad to have the opportunity now to share a little bit more about her with all of you.
Thanks to Craig Palmer of The Cultural Omnivore for making this interview happen! And thank you Sunniva for your honesty.

He was gifted, kind and insightful, honest and hilarious. He didn’t just apply makeup, he transformed me.
You better believe I paid attention to him after that experience. It was obvious to me that Donald was not only talented, he was gifted.
When Donald moved to Los Angeles, I stayed in contact and we developed a friendship. One that I hold dear.
I’ve always wanted to interview Donald and find out more about his process. I’ve never met another makeup artist who works harder than Donald works off set. He and I have gone on countless trips to the 99 cent store and other odd markets to purchase makeup and research materials. I sit in his house and go through every book on file to see what he’s marked up and what he’s currently drawing from for inspiration. Donald simply doesn’t stop creating and coming up with concepts to execute. And, like most artists of substance, he has a generosity of spirit that is palatable when you enter the room.
