about the

creator

I confess. I’m a makeup hoarder.

Well, maybe the more eloquent description would be “collector.”

I’m Kerrin. And after steadily chipping away as a film and tv makeup artist for the last 25-something (shhh!) years now, who wouldn’t be? (she tells herself after her bi-monthly “how to avoid makeup kit overwhelm” kit overhaul).

I’ve gotten a whiff of golden glory with 4 Emmy nominations!

The Blog

I haven’t found a makeup blog like The makeup refinery before
It’s very honest, well-researched, and well-rounded.
And, of course, backed by the many years of experience you have as a professional makeup artist.”

Melissa Jimenez – Makeup Artist
i really enjoy the makeup refinery.
It’s so nice seeing our craft approached so thoughtfully, intellectually, and from the approach of a film & television makeup artist, versus a lot of what is published about makeup – it usually skews editorial or for the average makeup user. It’s so nice to have this outlet and you do it so well!”
