Makeup By Mekinzie
Your Go-to Girl For All Your Beauty Needs!
Why Makeup?
After graduating cosmetology school in 2015, I wasn't sure where my license would take me, but I always knew I wanted to help people feel beautiful. We’re taught from a young age that beauty has a certain look, but I want women to see their own unique beauty. I love pointing out my clients' best features and helping them see what I see, especially when I hear things like "I hate my nose" or "I’ll never look like that celebrity." My job is something so beautiful, showing you the features some have never liked in a brand new light!
Now, as a makeup artist, every day is an opportunity to create those moments of confidence, joy, and beauty for my clients. Whether it’s a simple makeup look to brighten their day or getting them ready for an unforgettable event, I’m here to help them feel amazing and celebrate their unique beauty.
How'd You Get Started?
My parents always gave me the freedom to be creative with makeup. It has always been my confidence booster. I truly believe when you look good, you feel good — that's the magic of makeup!
I kid you not, I've worn my signature winged eyeliner and lashes since I was 15! I still vividly remember waking up early in high school, sitting on the floor with my liquid liner, brow pomade, and foundation, because who could leave without their brows done, right?
I’ll never forget a moment from my childhood bedroom, with one of my closest friends from beauty school as we prepped for my first real clients! We were charging only $20 for hair and makeup (can you believe that), but it wasn’t about the money. It was about making everyone feel like the best version of themselves for that special night. The excitement, the laughter, and the joy of getting everyone ready for the best night ever!
​
That experience lit something in me – a passion for making others feel beautiful and confident. It wasn’t just about applying makeup or doing hair; it was about connecting with people, helping them feel good in their own skin, and being a part of their special moments. Little did I know, that night in my childhood bedroom was the start of the journey that would lead me to where I am today – and I’m so thankful for it.
“Mekinzie was the makeup artist for my wedding this month and let me say, she is amazing. She is SO accommodating and listens to what you are asking for. We had her travel to Estes Park (from Denver) for the wedding and she was prompt, organized, and ready to roll at 6:30am! Mekinzie made everyone feel so comfortable and beautiful when her work was done! We even did a second trial when I changed my mind about style and she was more than happy to oblige. 10000/10 recommend her!”
