Kristi Lauria, Owner & Lead Makeup + Hair Artist

Hi! I’m Kristi - tea drinker, romance period film lover, wife and mom to two incredible little girls:)

I am a mobile and in-studio makeup artist and hairstylist based in Durham Region, with my beauty studio in Pickering, ON! I specialize in bridal but love to help women feel amazing for all occasions.

My aesthetic is elevated natural beauty - enhancing your gorgeous features, rather than covering them up. My clients are often minimal makeup wearers and I love asking questions and working with you to understand how you feel your most beautiful.

I have been providing bridal beauty services for over 10 years and working in the beauty industry for 20! For the majority of my cosmetics career I have been in education roles, such as Artistry Trainer for top brands, including Smashbox Cosmetics, teaching beauty experts’ products knowledge and artistry technique and facilitating master classes helping women best enhance their beautifully unique features.

My work has been published in Today’s Bride Magazine and I have been featured as a beauty expert and makeup artist in various forms of media, including The Marilyn Denis Show, CTV Morning Live and Flare magazine.

My mission is to empower women to embrace their natural beauty and create a warm and welcoming environment, working with you to create your ideal look!

I can’t wait to connect with you:)
