Kirsten Fredrickson, Makeup Artist

One of my favorite parts of being a makeup artist is helping someone feel like the very best version of themselves. 🫶

For this lovely member of the bridal party, we kept things soft, fresh, and natural while enhancing her features by adding just enough definition and warmth to make everything come together beautifully.

I always want my clients to look in the mirror and still see themselves… just with that extra little glow. ✨️

Thank you for sharing my work in your stories, KETT Cosmetics! 🫶

When you book airbrush foundation as your base choice, KETT is the brand I'm using.

Perfect for those who love a lightweight, flawless complexion with exceptional longevity. Airbrush foundation is custom-applied using professional airbrush equipment to create a smooth, natural-looking finish that photographs beautifully while feeling virtually weightless on the skin.

The formula is water-based, oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and silicone-free, providing buildable coverage with a soft, skin-like appearance.

🤍 DRMTLGY’s Need-less Growth Factor Serum!🤍

I've added DRMTLGY medical-grade skincare to my personal arsenal for over two years now. If anyone knows me, they know I won't talk about products if I don't use and love them personally!

As an esthetician, I love incorporating formulas that support healthier-looking, more youthful skin. This serum is designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and firmness while supporting smoother, more radiant-looking skin. Think of it as a little extra support for your skin’s overall appearance as it ages.

After 20 years in the beauty industry, one thing I know for sure: **great makeup starts with great skincare prep.**

Your makeup and your skin are having a conversation, and when your foundation looks dry, patchy, cakey, or doesn’t seem to sit right, the problem may not be your foundation at all.

It could be what’s happening *underneath* it.

Before you buy another foundation or add more product, take a look at your skincare routine. 👇

**Start with the basics:**
• Cleanse gently to remove oil, buildup, and residue.
• Hydrate your skin to help it look plump and refreshed.
• Moisturize to support your skin barrier and create a smoother canvas.
• Give your skincare a few minutes to absorb before applying makeup.

Remember, dehydrated skin, excess product buildup, and a compromised skin barrier can all affect how makeup applies and wears throughout the day.

As an esthetician and makeup artist, I always look at the skin first. Because sometimes, the solution isn’t a new foundation or more coverage. **It’s giving your skin what it needs before makeup ever touches it.** 🤍

Save this as your reminder that beautiful makeup starts with healthy, well-prepped skin!

Mother of the groom makeup. 🤍✨

The goal? Fresh, flattering, and timeless — enhancing her natural features without masking them.

I focused on a softly defined eye, a natural-looking toned complexion, and a beautiful rose-pink lip for an effortlessly polished finish that feels just as lovely in person as it does in photos.

When it comes to mature skin, my approach is always skin-focused: thoughtful product choices, strategic placement, and blending that lets your natural beauty shine through. 🤍

Stunning...

A soft, a fresh complexion, and just the right amount of definition. 🤍

This bride wanted a classic soft makeup look that enhanced her natural features while keeping everything feeling light, feminine, and timeless.

I focused on softly elongated eyes, delicate definition, a radiant complexion, and a glossy pink-nude lip for that effortlessly polished finish.

Because bridal makeup doesn't have to be heavy to make an impact. The goal is always to create a look that feels like you. ✨

✨️ Booking for the 2027 Wedding Season

For professional branding photos, I want the skin to look like skin, but better.

For my client this week, I used Kett Cosmetics airbrush foundation and CINEMA SECRETS Inc. color correctors to create a lightweight, even, camera-ready complexion without a heavy or overly perfected finish.

The final look was polished and timeless for her branding photo shoot that afternoon.

Your photos should look like the best version of you. 🫶

Soft, timeless bridal beauty. 🤍

The goal was polished and radiant while still feeling completely like her. Softly defined eyes, luminous skin, subtle sculpting, and a naturally enhanced lip came together for a look that feels elegant, refined, and effortless.

Because bridal makeup should still look like you— just elevated. ✨
