On this week’s episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Kristy Strate to the Friends in Beauty guest chair! Kristy is a bi-coastal Makeup Artist who splits her time between Los Angeles and New York City.

Kristy began working in makeup at the ripe old age of 19, starting in the world of print, fashion, and advertising before moving into narrative film and TV. She began department heading very early in her film career and right away realized that she loved the process of building projects from beginning to end. Most recently, Kristy was the Makeup Department Head on the 2024 SXSW select film Babes. Collaborating with Directors, Producers, Cast, and fellow crew members to create worlds and stories is a very exciting and rewarding experience that she never tires of.

Outside of her work and artistry, Kristy has an affinity for nature. She grew up on a farm, spending all of her time working and playing in fields and mountains. One of her goals for later life is to have a humble animal rescue focusing on retired senior horses.

But until then, you can count on seeing much more of her makeup, movies, and magic!
