About BLENDE and our
PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTISTS

Blende is the brainchild of veteran television makeup artist Keira Karlin who for the past 28 years has been custom blending celebrities to suit their exact skin tones. Karlin dreamed of being able to offer this to every woman. “Each woman is unique and their makeup should be as well”. Blende Custom Makeup and Skincare was created out of her desire to build a luxurious makeup and skincare studio that offers a full line of custom makeup and skincare blended on the spot.
