Kirsten Makeup & Hair Artist

Editorial style, Editorial makeup. The two were always meant to go together. 🤍 Aileen’s wedding style is straight out of a couture bridal magazine.

Fun fact about me! A little something you always spot in my BTS: “Baby” on one hand, “Mine” on the other — from Baby Mine, the Alison Krauss version. The song I sang to my daughter in the womb, and still sing at bedtime now :)

I asked a few of my brides what stayed with them about their wedding-day look. Not only what I did but — what they felt. These were the answers that kept coming up. →

The truth is, none of them mentioned a product. They talked about looking in the mirror and still seeing themselves. About makeup that lasted. About not having to think about their face, so they could actually be in it.

That’s the whole thing for me. I’m not there to give you a look you’ve seen on someone else. I’m there so that when you catch your reflection between the ceremony and the party, you feel completely, unmistakably like you.

Swipe through for the five that came up most. And if you’re planning a destination wedding somewhere beautiful and want to feel exactly like this, my DM’s are always open :) Let’s Chat 🤍

Some looks just belong to the light. ☀️

Bronze on the high points, warmth that moves when she does — Amana in pure gold. It felt right to share these today, of all days. The longest, brightest one, Summer Solstice.

Same palette. Two completely different results. ✨

I did these two bridesmaids the other day and it reminded me of something I love about this job — you can use the exact same colours on the eyes of two people and they’ll read entirely differently. Different skin, different features, different light catching them. One face turns it soft and warm, the other turns it deeper. Same hand, same products, two stories still in the same series.

Both got that glowy, lit-from-within skin I’m known for — the kind that holds up through happy tears, long hugs, and a full day of celebrating.

And honestly? The whole morning had that feeling Irish weddings always seem to carry. Warm, easy, full of laughter

This was in Marbella — and there’s a reason couples keep choosing the Costa del Sol for the day. The light here never lets you down.

Swipe one: the result. The rest: how we got there. 🎬

A luxury sleepwear shoot has a funny brief — makeup that looks like none at all. Skin that says you slept great and woke up like this. Sounds easy, right? Knowing when to stop is an art.

Behind the scenes with Dagsmejan, the Swiss sleepwear brand, shooting here in the Andalucían light. The goal was to keep her looking like herself — just rested, glowing, real. Enhance, never change.

We built it slow, in light layers, letting the skin lead. Easier to add than subtract.
