Being one a top makeup artist in the business does come with its perks. Celebrity makeup artist Kristofer Buckle’s whirlwind career has taken him to places that most budding makeup artists’ eyes will never see. His eclectic style is easily translated into his work making him a favorite among photographers and A-list celebrities.
 
1. What is a day in the life of Kristofer Buckle like?
My days can start very early or very late. I might be with one celebrity all day or have to run all over town in taxis or car services to do three different people for the same event, (Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, CFDA, etc). Many days I’m in the photo studio all day shooting magazine covers and fashion stories. There are days when I’m flying to California or another country. Celebrities are known world wide so I have to travel with them all over the world. There were a few days when I was in four different countries in one day! There are also the music videos and commercials that I do and those days can be very long, sometimes twenty-four hours. Keeping up this pace requires stamina and it is important to take care of myself.
 
2. How did your career begin in the world of beauty?
My career with fashion and celebrities began when photographer Steven Meisel saw my work and booked me for the cover of Italian Vogue. I was very lucky that he gave me such an amazing opportunity to prove myself. It was the first booking I had. He is the defining reason that I have a career. He changed my life.

3. As a highly demanded celebrity makeup artist, are there any celebrities whom you would still like to work with that you haven’t as of yet?
YES. There are definitely people I’d like to work with. I grew up fantasizing about doing Cher’s makeup. I met her once in Germany and she was great but she has a very talented makeup artist and I absolutely respect their relationship. Madonna is another celebrity I haven’t worked with. I’ve met her a few times and I think I can bring something to her table. I always say “If you’re good, you will get your turn eventually.”
 

I’ve always wanted a little camcorder to take on my travel adventures. And I might just have to get this one! The Flip Mino is teeny tiny, works with MACs and PCs (good bc I have one of each!), and… this is the coolest… you can customize it completely at theflip.com! YAY! $220.
