About Makeup by Kristen

Kristen Calderaro

Freelance Makeup Artist/Owner

With over 25 years of experience in bridal makeup artistry and a license in esthetics, I bring both technical skill and skincare knowledge to every application. My background also includes film, print, and commercial work, but bridal makeup remains my true passion. There's something special about being part of someone's wedding day. My approach centers on hygienic technique and customized application, tailored to each client's features and vision. I value collaboration: listening closely to what you want, while offering professional guidance to help bring your look together.

From bridal suites to photo sets, I've worked across a variety of makeup environments over 25+ years. That experience translates into a calm, efficient, and highly skilled application with strict hygiene standards and a customized approach every time.

Flawless Makeup and a Wonderful Experience!
I can't recommend Kristen enough! She did the wedding makeup for me as the bride and for my family, and she made the entire experience so special. From the moment she arrived, she created such a calm, relaxed atmosphere that helped ease so much of the stress that naturally comes with a wedding day. She was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and made everyone feel comfortable and confident. One of the things I appreciated most was how well she listened to what I wanted. I asked for a natural look that still felt like me, and she absolutely nailed it. I felt beautiful without feeling overdone, which was exactly what I had hoped for. She also made my family look and feel amazing, and everyone's makeup lasted beautifully throughout the day. Kristen is not only incredibly talented but also such a wonderful person to have by your side on your wedding morning. I'm so grateful she was part of our day, and I would recommend her to any bride without hesitation!

Fun, talented, and experienced makeup artist!
25 years ago Kristen did an amazing job on myself and my mom and for my wedding and since then I have seen her do dozens of brides and their wedding parties with the most recent being a few months ago. She is able to make people of every age, skin tone, and race look incredible! I have recommended her to everyone I know. My teen daughters learned so much by having their makeup done by Kristen. She is truly a special talent! Besides that she has a warm, positive, fun, calming demeanor that makes her exactly who you want to be around on a busy important day. If you want to look your best and work with somebody who is current, competent, fun, and experienced book Kristen for you makeup needs.

Best I've ever looked!!!
Kristen has been my go-to makeup artist for 10 years! When it came time to choose a makeup artist for my big day, the decision was easy. From our first conversation for wedding makeup, Kristen made it clear she was invested in making our wedding day special. She kept in touch throughout the planning process with positive updates and thoughtful ideas, and was always available to answer questions. During our makeup trials, she took the time to get every detail right so I felt confident and beautiful on the big day. Kristen's talent and passion for her craft really showed in the final result—I felt like the best version of myself. Looking back at our wedding photos, I'm so grateful for the care she put into making sure everything was perfect. Kristen went above and beyond, and I'll cherish that day forever because of her dedication.

Kristen was the BEST
I had my wedding makeup done by Kristen and I could not be more happy with that decision. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup often, I really wanted my bridal look to feel light on my skin as well as look more light and natural. She was able to give me a look that was exactly what I wanted and it lasted all night! My makeup lasted through a 95 degree ceremony, kissing *clink clink*, happy tears, dinner, drinks, and a ridiculous amount of dancing. Aside from the fantastic work she did, Kristen was so professional, on-time, pleasant, and helped ease my day-of nerves. I cannot recommend her enough!

Excellent makeup artist
Kristen knows exactly what she’s doing. She is professional, organized, and exceptionally talented. My makeup looked beautiful, lasted all day, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled makeup artist.
