Ramil leaning in a backstage doorway beside a garment rack

Hello, I’m Ramil

I’m a makeup artist in Vancouver. I paint drag performers and theatre casts, usually in a green room with bare bulbs, a rail of costumes and about twenty minutes to spare.

I like a face that reads from the back row and still looks kind up close.
