Danielle Gerkens
IATSE Local 798 Makeup Artist
& Reiki Practitioner

Originally from Baltimore, MD, Danielle “Dani” has been a working Makeup Artist for over 13 years. Her work spans film, commercials, fashion, beauty, red carpet events, and special events. In 2017, she moved to New York to refine her skills and immerse herself in the fashion and beauty industry. This journey ultimately led her to realize that her approach to beauty is deeply rooted in a holistic perspective—driven by her personal passions for continual education and wellness.

In 2019, she became a certified Reiki Practitioner to deepen her understanding of energy healing and inner transformation, and she earned her Esthetician License in 2023 to expand her knowledge of skin and skincare.

She recently moved to Los Angeles to find greater work-life balance and increase her experience in red carpet and special events. She’s deeply passionate about beauty, transformation, and finding the balance between the two.

When she’s not working, she’s out exploring the neighborhood—walking dogs, trying new food, or seeing live music.

She is available for private offerings out of the comfort of your own home. Please email for inquires.
