Christien Baxter

After graduating college and working in social services for the past several years, I decided it was time to start exploring my desire to be a professional makeup artist. I have always had an interest in makeup but it seems to have evolved into a passion over the years. I love being able to share my knowledge of makeup with others and help women enhance their natural beauty. Makeup can be as subtle or dramatic as you desire, which is why I think it is so much fun!
I started applying makeup for anyone who would sit still long enough, practicing on myself mostly. Then friends and family started trusting me to do their makeup for special events and asking me for makeup tips. I am now a certified makeup artist, specializing in natural beauty and love every minute of it! I have worked with a variety of product lines and have experience with all skin tones.
I am a Benefit Beauty Squad Member for Benefit Cosmetics, which basically means I get to be a cheerleader for one of my favorite cosmetic lines. I also volunteer for the American Cancer Society program called Look Good...Feel Better, where I help cancer patients learn how to apply makeup and style scarves during their treatment. Life is a blessing and I'm living my dream.
