Inspired by the classic stars of black and white film whose features were illuminated by the contrast of shadows and light, makeup artist Chris Crenshaw is known for creating a face that is simple in its beauty and natural in its artistry. Having worked as both a freelance makeup artist and in the high-end retail industry for over 16 years, Chris is not only gifted in design but has a deep knowledge of which products can best enhance the skin and beauty of her clients.

Chris is driven by a desire to be responsive to her clients’ needs and can produce looks ranging from bridal makeup to fantasy. She sees beauty in every client and is masterful at enhancing what each woman possesses naturally. A philosophy that the most beautiful makeup works with skin that is healthy and glowing has led Chris to be known for creating an effortless “no-makeup” makeup look. Chris’ success as a bridal and special events makeup artist has blossomed through word of mouth referrals that speak to her talent as a meticulous artist who creates clean looks, and to her calming touch and personable nature.

Commercially, Chris has worked with industry giants including Korean Harper’s Bazaar, Bryan Bantry Agency, New York Fashion Week’s 7 on 6th, Good Morning America, Bobbi Brown and other leading fashion publications.
