Kristen Strassel Makeup Artist

I love being part of a brides wedding day.  It's such an exciting and happy place to be, to see all of a bride's vision and hard work come together.  My favorite part of my job is that I get to constantly see new and exciting places and meet interesting people, all while getting a behind the scenes peek at the things not everyone gets to see. 

I am a professional makeup artist working in the New England area.  When I’m not doing bridal makeup, I regularly work on commercial, corporate, television, film, and print sets. On your wedding day, you will need to look good in person, in photographs, as well as on video.  It’s important to hire someone who can make all of those mediums work in harmony.  My work can regularly be seen on The Travel Channel, Animal Planet, HGTV, and NESN, many commercials, as well as billboards throughout New England. In addtion to other movie work,  I’ve worked on the wedding scenes the feature films Bride Wars, Zoo Keeper, and The Box. I'm also a Stila Pro Artist and a beauty blogger.

I work with you to create the look you envision for your wedding day.  If it's a natural beachy look, something red carpet, or a period look, we can make it happen...and you will still feel like you. I offer airbrush foundation application.  This application is made for long wear and is fantastic for brides and wedding parties.  It has a lightweight and flawless finish that looks and feels like skin.  It’s sweat proof and water proof, so it can stand up to kisses, tears, and most importantly, dancing the night away!  It will last all night.  If you’re looking for a more traditional foundation application, I have a kit full of professional quality products ready to create the look that's right for you. I’m experienced working with all ages and skin types, so everyone in your party will be camera ready and looking and feeling their best. 

All of my services are offered at the location that is most convenient to you. I’m easy going and I respond to email and phone calls in a timely manner.  I can accomodate large wedding parties while still giving you personalized attention. I reguarly do weddings not only on the Cape and South Shore, but also in Boston, Rhode Island, and Western Massachusetts.   If you’re interested in finding out more about my services or you would like to set up at trial, please visit my website  or contact me at imagebykristen@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
