About the Artist

Effortless glamour, tailored to you.

I’m Lydia — a Minneapolis-based makeup artist specializing in luxury, glam, and editorial looks for brides, events, photoshoots, and film. My work lives at the intersection of polish and softness: skin that glows, eyes that open up a room, and lips that feel unmistakably you.

As a mobile artist, I come to you. Whether it’s a suite on your wedding morning, a production set, or your living room before a shoot, I bring a full professional kit and a calm, focused energy so you can actually enjoy the moment before the camera clicks.

— Lydia Kaye

Good to Know

Frequently Asked


Do you do all types of events?
Yes — weddings, bridal parties, engagements, birthdays, proms, galas, photoshoots, commercials, film, and more. If it involves makeup, I can help.
How do I book?
Submit a request through the booking form with your date, service, and event details. I’ll confirm availability within 24 hours and send an invoice for your 50% deposit to lock in your date.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. A non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the total service cost is required to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due the day of service.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before your scheduled service. Cancellations within 24 hours forfeit the deposit.
Do you travel? Are there travel fees?
Yes — I’m a fully mobile artist based in Minneapolis and I travel throughout the metro area. Travel beyond 30 miles may include a small travel fee, which will be quoted upfront.
What’s the difference between traditional and airbrush?
Traditional is hand-applied with brushes and sponges for a rich, luminous finish. Airbrush is applied with a fine mist for an ultra-lightweight, HD finish that photographs beautifully and lasts all day — especially great for weddings and long events.
How early should I book?
For weddings and large events, 6–12 months in advance is ideal. For smaller events and shoots, 2–4 weeks is typically enough — but reach out any time and I’ll see what I can do.
