Kristen Arnett: Unique Services

Unique Services - I Servizi


[Italiano] Per favore scrivermi direttamente per le informazioni dal trucco per i matromoni o per i lezioni del trucco. Grazie!

Special note:
I am currently out of the U.S. I am now booking appointments for my return to Portland on/after December 20th, 2008.


In addition to my work as a print makeup artist, I offer personalized services for private clientele (AKA the non-model woman).

If you are like many women, traversing the vast world of makeup can be daunting. Few of us were born with an inherent knack for knowing how to line our eyes and gloss our lips perfectly. It just seems to get trickier as the years go by and facial features change!

Some of us get pretty hard on ourselves because of it, or just give up on makeup entirely.

I specialize in teaching “age-defying makeup techniques” - little tricks that help a face look years younger. By that, I don't mean, spackling on a lot of makeup so you no longer feel like you. My approach is truly about connecting with who YOU are and your lifestyle.

When looking fabulous is important to you, but you'd rather someone else worry about the finer points, then hiring a terrific makeup artist to prepare you for photos and special occasions is the perfect plan!

Having someone like me with a skilled understanding of photographic makeup is imperative if you are having professional photos taken. Makeup applied well, will look great and last under various lighting conditions, for digital or film photography, in studio or outdoors, and can save quite a bit on retouching costs in the end.

Service Descriptions

* Private Training *

This covers everything from a "makeup bag review" to streamlining your makeup routine, application tips and techniques, product suggestions, proper cleaning and more. We can also talk about your skin care routine and I may be able to provide some useful suggestions to you on that as well. We'll even take a look at where the best lighting is for you to apply your makeup.

Reference materials for each client include, a before and after photo as a reminder to what we covered and how it looked and notes for the session.

* Personal Shopping *

I take the confusion out of navigating the sea of cosmetics, the sales people and the leave your time better spent by doing the shopping based on our assessment of your needs and budget.

* Bridal Makeup *

Please note I am only booking weddings in Oregon from July 26th to September 6th, 2008.

A bridal package includes a consultation time before the wedding, day of application onsite, and airbrush foundation.
I am one of the few makeup artists in Portland to offer airbrush foundation for brides. Its unique delivery system, gives the skin a natural, even tone that is light weight, long wearing and looks incredible! The makeup application is designed to last through a full day, and into the evening, enduring some tears and lots of smiles.
