Kirstie Wight Makeup Artist

Makeup Artist

It all started at the tender age of 8, when I got my first allowance. My mom took me to the local drug store where I bought my very first lipstick and nail polish! Fast forward to today and the love affair still continues. Who knew that a little girls obsession could turn into a successful career? I have spent the last 14 years working in the cosmetic industry.

I have worked with movie and television personalities, professionally trained other makeup artists and have done runway makeup for LA fashion week. I call Portland my home but I have also enjoyed living and working as a makeup artist in Los Angles and Seattle.

Whether it is a one on one personal consultation, or making an entire bridal party look breathtaking, I truly love what I do. Read more

    Kirstie gave me a makeup lesson before my wedding and it was so fantastic! ... She showed me how under eye concealer and mascara could make my eyes pop way better than they ever had and I've worn the new look nearly every day since. When I showed my fiance, he said I looked ten years younger and said I looked so pretty. The entire lesson was fun and I'd like to go back to learn more. She gave me the confidence to do my own wedding makeup. It felt so empowering and it came out great!

    Kirstie is fabulous! She did my hair and makeup for my bridal party and myself for my wedding. My makeup looked extremely natural and was exactly what I wanted! I would highly recommend her for a wedding or big event!

    I hired Kirstie to do my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner and wedding, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. ... On the day of the wedding she arrived to the house early, and she and her team did an amazing job on my entire bridal party. Everyone looked beautiful. Our looks were all different but complimented one another well. Kirstie is extremely professional, a joy to be around, and she made me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend her services to anyone.

    Kirstie did my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids' hair for my wedding. She is such a joy to have around and her work is amazing! The AC broke at the hotel where our wedding was held and it was a sweltering 105 degree late August day. The reception space was humid and muggy and Kirstie's amazing job on both my hair and makeup stayed in place the entire time. I can't recommend her enough!
