I’m Kerrin 👋🏻
and when my movie makeup day job ground to a halt in 2020, I felt the overwhelming need to redirect.
It all started with a little blog project that has since grown into The Makeup Refinery – my very own corner of the internet.
My love of language and putting pen to paper (at least fingertips to keyboard) has allowed me to start sharing what’s been shared with me, with YOU!
I’ve been doing makeup since I was in my teens (just a few years ago 😉 and The Makeup Refinery has given me an epic opportunity to combine my love of creating with a commercial career I wouldn’t change for a second.
While I’m honestly not terribly warm and cozy in the spotlight, even from behind the weighted blanket of my laptop, I aim to share all of my learnings with you and help bring a little joy to your face (and those you pop makeup on too).
Ooh goodie, fresh new pod eps!
