About Me

Working Mom (Professional Makeup Artist) of a BEAUTIFUL 15 year old girl......Working very hard to break into the high-end editorial and runway fashion world, and just needing the right people to see my work......
THINGS I TRULY LOVE: My daughter Hailey...She is THE single best thing that has ever happened to me, she is now and will always be my greatest achievement.....My closest, truest and loyal friends who are always there for me when I need them.....Jerad, you are THE TRUEST and BEST thing that has ever happened to me...to know you are always there for me no matter what, no one has ever been there for me like you! Renee (how could I ever thank you for keeping me VERY grounded), Celeste...what can I say? No one has ever made me feel they are that happy to see me you are my bestest friend & Dave, you know that you mean the world to me and without you and Cess I would lose my mind (I Love you guyyes!!!) Teresa and Raina... true friends and goddesses of Hair...Hitomi, Stephanie (thanks for keeping my secrets) and Karen(always the truest)the only one that I can not see forever and it still feels like yesterday when I do, amazing!....I thank you all....Patrick...you are one of the truest things in my life....Getting a great gig......working with great Photographers like Patrick Wade, Jodi Jones and Celeste Guiliano, all of you are AMAZING!......Meeting new Photographer, Models, Actors and Actresses that are really down to earth.....But.....I really love spending everyday getting to do what I love to do, MAKEUP.....
THINGS I TRULY HATE: Liars, cheaters and fake people in general (picked a great industry to work in for that one, huh?).....People who stab you in the back to get ahead and those people who can't be happy for you when that great job does come along......Bad parents (not mine) and bad fathers (not mine) who don't know who their children really are....but pretend they do.....When someone can't make the right decision...until its too late and then blame you for it...and YOU know who you are....Always trying to be the better person...even when someone doesn't deserve it (that is one thing I both love and hate about who I am).
THINGS I KNOW ARE TRUE: YOU decide who you are....no one else. What someone else thinks about you...says more about who THEY are....then about who YOU are. AND, Last but not least.....Karma has teeth and she bites.

My Interests

ANYTHING to do with fashion, makeup and beauty. Getting enough exercise, running and yoga. Spending time with my daughter and watching her do anything....field hockey, track, gymnastics....whatever.

I'd like to meet:




Every Beauty Editor & Creative Director of all the high-end fashion magazines: Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, W, Allure, Bazaar and Vanity Fair, etc. I want the opportunity to show them ALL the caliber of work that I can do as a Makeup Artist. Check out my work on my website at: www.kirstensylvester.com

Music:

Depends on my mood....anything from Spanish techno-funk, 80's and 90's music to Eminem, R&B and Dance music. Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, POD, Birthday Massacre and everything in between. Not too big on Country Music....no banjos....PLEASE!

Movies:

Would love to say that I love deep, enigmatic films. Sorry....love the whole Die Hard series and Bruce Willis in anything, The Mummy series. Scary films,...The Ring, The Grudge, and ANYTHING by M. Knight, 300 was amazing....Not too big on chick flicks...but I do love 50 First Dates, Sweet Home Alabama. Movies with Gerard Butler...yummy...and Adam Sandler, Bruce Willis(of course), William H. Macy, Shia LaBouf, Keanu Reeves(in anything) Jamie Foxx and Jim Carey. Actresses....Charlize Theron, Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, Lucy Lui and of course anything with Jennifer Aniston.

Television:

Watch very few TV shows but LOVE Heros, possibly the best Show on TV...Pushing Daisy's the greatest thing to happen to TV in a very long time!! Law and Order...The War at Home. Who's line is it anyway?.....the best for a late night laugh. The Simpsons and of course Family Guy (completely not PC).

Books:

Spend most of my time reading all the magazines of the Beauty Editors I want to meet....but I love anything by Stephen King and Clive Barker. Not much for the romance novels....would rather live the real version instead.

Heroes:

My greatest hero is my daughter Hailey....everyday she tells me how proud she is of me and reminds me that I should never give up on my dreams no matter how hard things can get.....She has made me a better person......And to Patrick for loving me despite all the chaos that my life brings to his.
