I’m Kara Stevenson and if you know me…
I LOVE makeup!
And if you hang around me a lot, you’ll love makeup too!
I haven’t gotten on here in a loooong time, so hello, it’s me… you’re next makeup artist and go-to for all things beauty!
Since 14, my favorite Christmas present every year, was the basket of latest skincare and makeup items on the market…I was obsessed with every product. To spare you boring details, I read every book and article I could get my hands on when it came to artistry and I just needed to go further.
It was my father who advised me to get my marketing degree & learn the business of beauty. I made a B-line for NYC to attend F.I.T. on 28th street and 7th Ave. - this was the only school that had a degree in Marketing Cosmetics and Fragrances.
During college my first stop… Frederic Fekkai, a world renowned hairstylist on 57th street who launched a makeup line. Enter the beginning of real life. Working with women who just got $350 haircuts and finishing their makeup!
From there I went on after college to work in Global Marketing and Product Development for Estée Lauder, L’Oreal, Victoria’s Secret and Coty working on creating and launching new makeup/hair/skincare/ fragrance brands in NYC.
I lived in Hoboken, NJ and then NYC in the West Village for 10 Years. Yes, 9/11 happened and then the blackout. Then an airplane landed in the Hudson River. Just a day in the life….. lol
After 12 years, God saw fit for me to meet my husband and start a family. Bye bye corporate!
I have 3 of the most beautiful children on this planet (not biased). Yes, and we are a military family and I’m now on my 8th year of homeschooling!
I now focus my attention on makeup application for a full range of skin tones. Makeup masterclasses, have a makeup studio in a med spa, one-on-one makeup lessons, writing beauty articles for magazines and glamming women of all ages and skin types for their special events. I also love a good destination wedding!
After 30 years, I’m just getting started so many big things to come! This is your year to get those skin and makeup results you’ve wanted! Just email me or message me, I can talk beauty ALL DAY EVERY DAY!
