Karen - Makeup Artisan

What makes your artistry unique? I would say that my makeup artistry is unique because of the diversity I have experienced throughout my career in the beauty industry. I’ve worked freelance during my early years as a hair and makeup artist focusing on weddings and photoshoots and I've also worked with luxury brands which gave me so much opportunity in doing such a variety of people, races, and cultures. I always believe that knowledge is one thing, but to be an expert in what you are doing is to have experience through time. 

What inspires you? What inspires me is the smile and gratefulness of my clients whenever i’ve done their makeup. How happy and confident they feel after seeing their looks! It drives me more to do a good job!
