KATE STARKEY

Makeup Artist · Artist by Education

​

Kate Starkey is a makeup artist with over a decade of experience in beauty, fashion, film and luxury bridal. Beginning her career in 2014, she quickly established herself in the industry, becoming the INGLOT MUA Awards Winner in 2016.

​

Her portfolio includes magazine covers, including Playboy, music videos and film, as well as working alongside Anna Margo × Timbaland. Her experience also extends to beauty teams preparing guests for the Oscars, Emmys and Grammys, alongside years of work in weddings, editorial and commercial beauty.

​

Kate’s approach is rooted in her background as an artist: refined, intentional and deeply focused on individuality. Rather than transforming the face, she creates makeup that enhances what is already there — luminous skin, beautiful structure and effortless sophistication.

Today, Kate works between Scottsdale, Phoenix and worldwide, creating modern, polished beauty for brides, editorial, fashion, film and private clients.
