Thanks for visiting my site! My name is Kristen Buchholz. I’ve been a professional freelance makeup artist since 2009, but found my passion for makeup as a little girl playing in my mom’s makeup. I feel so fortunate to be able to do what I’m passionate about and at the same time connect with amazing people. One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is helping people to see their inner beauty reflected on the outside. Over the last several years I’ve had the ability to freelance for major cosmetic brands MAC Cosmetics and Benefit Cosmetics, and collaborate with several local photographers, models, and designers on various projects.

I specialize in makeup application for:

• Wedding/bridal, engagement, and boudoir
• Special occasions
• Editorial, collaborative photo shoots, print/media
• Senior and family portraits
• Videography for short films and YouTube videos
• Makeup consultations/lessons

Aside from being a freelance makeup artist, I’m also a wife and mom to 2 beautiful children. My family is my number one passion and inspire me to continue doing what I love!

I look forward to connecting with you and helping you with your project or special event!
