Who are you, what you do and who you serve?
My name is Kim Johannesson, I am a professional luxury Makeup Artist and I serve Winnipeg and the surrounding area within Manitoba!
What services do you offer?
I provide makeup services for any and all occasions! I am primarily a Bridal Artist however I also offer makeup for all photoshoots, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, festival makeup and spfx makeup.
How did you get started in the wedding industry, and what inspired you to become a makeup artist?
When I was in Grade 8, I had to do a presentation on a career I looked up to and I had to bring in a guest speaker. I chose an artist from the Polo Park MAC counter and she came to my middle school for the presentation. I was so enamored with her, since the age of 12 I thought being a makeup artist was the coolest job you could have. Playing with colour and makeup and making women feel beautiful. From then I knew it’s all I ever wanted to be. After graduating from Blanche Macdonald in Vancouver, I came back to Winnipeg and started assisting another makeup artist in the industry.
What do you enjoy most about working in the wedding industry and serving couples on their special day?
I absolutely love making my clients feel beautiful on their special day! It’s one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. Knowing I had a hand in building their confidence on one of the most memorable days in their life, it’s such a rewarding feeling!

Knowing they are in the right hands! I am a 13 year experience makeup artist and even if I meet my client for the first time on their wedding day, I know I will be able to provide them with the most flawless gorgeous look they have always been hoping for!
