Short Q & A With Kimber Leigh

How long have you been a makeup artist and who do you do make-up for i.e. weddings, fashion shows, etc.?

I have over 10 years of artistry experience and over 5 certifications. Much experience was gained working with M.A.C. Cosmetics, Sephora, and Christian Dior doing event makeup and personal consultations. My resume also includes working for a modeling agency teaching makeup and skincare classes.


Some events my talents are used for include: makeup applications for wedding parties, photo shoots, fashion shows, anniversaries, Bar / Bat Mitzvahs, birthdays, engagement parties, graduations, holiday parties, proms, personal consultations, private lessons, etc.

Anything within reason can be handled.

What is one thing people may not know about you/your services?

I did spend time working in New York's fashion industry. That was amazing and very intense. I feel fortunate to have been able to work in the city because I learned so much!

I have a Traditional Pro Makeup Kit and an Organic/Vegan/Natural one for people more health conscious. My Traditional Pro Makeup Kit is made up of mostly M.A.C. Cosmetics or Urban Decay. I use products from Virtve Cosmetics for people who are looking for something more organic/vegan/natural. Virtve has some of the best makeup I have found that do not contain artificial colors, carmine, talc, silica, bismuth oxychloride, parabens, sulfates, and GMO's. They are also cruelty free, gluten free, and are allergy friendly. You can look like a makeup diva or a girl next door wearing Virtve Cosmetics. Another bonus to this natural makeup!

How did your passion for cosmetics begin?

I started modeling when I was 12. It was exciting the first time that someone did my makeup for a photo shoot. It was amazing to see the way a little makeup on my face could change my appearance and enhance natural features. It became an obsession after that!

You see makeup differently then many other artists, why?

I think makeup is extremely personal and an extension of your personality. I like to get to know my clients on more of a personal level. That really helps me to understand that persons needs and make sure those needs are being met. You can always count on me to listen, ask questions, and to make sure you are happy with the outcome of what we did.

She was super friendly and really informs you on all that she does. She does not make you feel like a ghost and she is very precise with her work. She didn't know about short hair styles but winged it with mine and everything was so perfect! She was very prepared and very sanitary. I would work with her every day if I could.
