AR: | Tell us about yourself? |
KC: | I’m Makeup Artist represented by The Rex Agency located in Los Angeles. I grew up in a small town in Northern California outside of the Bay Area and started my career in San Francisco. Then that lead me to living in New York where I started the freelance portion of my career to currently residing in Los Angeles. I’ve always been an artist and honestly never saw makeup artistry in my future just more of something I always really enjoyed. I apprenticed to be a tattoo artist in and out of high school and took college art classes while attending community college for business. While I was in college, I applied for a job at a local Sephora with always having a personal interest in makeup. I was terrible at the cash register, so they threw me into doing makeup with clients which is where I found my passion and love for it. I had a quick transition into becoming an educator at Sephora where I traveled and helped other artists grow in different cities. To then freelancing for brands while building my book to being signed with an agency in a sum of the last 10 years. |
AR: | Describe your earliest beauty memory. |
KC: |
I think my earliest beauty memory was always since I was a baby to my early teens rummaging through my mom or grandmas Este Lauder makeup and always playing with it or stealing their samples when I wasn’t supposed to. I had an uncle’s girlfriend who recognized my love for it before I even did and always would gift me her colorful pallets and such. |
