Kristi Lauria, Owner & Lead Makeup + Hair Artist

Hi! I’m Kristi — tea drinker, romantasy book lover, and mama to two cheeky little girls.

I’m a mobile and in-studio makeup artist and hairstylist based in Durham Region, with my beauty studio located in Oshawa, ON. I specialize in bridal beauty, but I also love helping women feel confident and radiant by teaching them how to do their own makeup, for their branding or maternity photoshoots and all the special occasions in their life.

My signature style is elevated natural beauty — enhancing what’s already there rather than covering it up. Many of my clients are minimal makeup wearers, and I take the time to ask thoughtful questions so I can truly understand how you feel your most beautiful.

I’ve been in the beauty industry for over 20 years, with more than a decade focused on bridal. Throughout my career, I’ve held education roles, including Artistry Trainer for top brands such as Smashbox Cosmetics, where I taught product knowledge, artistry techniques, and led master classes designed to help women enhance their beautifully unique features.

My work has been published in Today’s Bride Magazine, and I’ve been featured as a beauty expert on The Marilyn Denis Show, CTV Morning Live, and Flare magazine.

My mission is simple: to empower women to embrace their natural beauty in a warm, welcoming environment — and to work together to create a look that feels authentically and beautifully you.

I can’t wait to connect with you 🤍
