Where Pro Artistry Meets Smart Beauty
👋 Hi, I’m Marti
I’m a film & TV Hair and Makeup Designer with more than 25 years of on-set experience.
I’ve spent my career working with actors, models, lights and cameras that reveal every detail — so I learned early on which tools and techniques truly deliver.
BeautyGadgetGuide is where I combine that professional know-how with my love for skincare gadgets, beauty tech, and ingredient science to help you discover what really works — no hype, no fluff, just results.
🎬 From Set Life to Smart Skincare
On long shooting days, I rely on LED masks, cryo tools, and microcurrent devices to keep skin calm and camera-ready.
Those same pro-grade techniques inspired this blog — a place for anyone who wants studio-level glow at home.
Here you’ll find: Honest reviews of devices and pro tools, Ingredient-plus-gadget pairings explained simply, Step-by-step routines tested on real people (not models), Sustainable, budget-friendly alternatives that perform
💡 The Mission
To bridge the gap between Professional Artistry and Everyday Beauty — giving you access to pro-tested methods and the latest technology that can elevate your skincare at home.
Whether you’re a beauty lover, beginner, or fellow HMU Artist, my goal is to make advanced skincare Approachable, Effective, and Fun.
