Pro advice, Personal Transformations
Hey! I’m Kendall Swenson — a professional makeup artist with over 20 years of experience in on-camera, and real-life beauty.
Through makeup lessons and my online courses here at Glam Bootcamp, I help women look great and feel confident doing their own makeup — especially during life transitions when they’re redefining their look and rediscovering their confidence.
My insights have been featured in a variety of media outlets, where I share practical, pro-artist tips that make beauty feel approachable, efficient, and empowering.
Below you’ll find a collection of articles, interviews, and expert features that highlight my perspective.

The Best Wedding Makeup for Blondes That Creates Harmony and Balance

“My approach, is that putting on makeup should not be about trying to look like someone else but about doubling down on what you already love about yourself- and turning up the volume on that.”

“… many typical toners were alcohol-based and would strip your skin of its natural oils and protective barrier. That squeaky clean feeling after cleansing may be good for your dishes but is definitely not good for your skin.”

“My favorite client moments are those when I’ve done someone’s makeup, and then they look in the mirror and their whole face lights up because they feel beautiful. And being able to help a woman feel joyful and confident is priceless.”
These Are the Best Long-Lasting Concealers for Flawless, All-Day Coverage
Before putting on any concealer, Swenson recommends applying eye cream to your under eye area. “Skip an emollient cream in the morning, as the ingredients can cut through your concealer and cause it to separate,” she explains. “Instead, use an eye cream that is a lightweight, silicone based formula, which will fill in all the tiny lines around your eyes and create a smooth canvas for your concealer.”
Conversations with the Inspiring Kendall Swenson
“What I am continuing to learn is how to manage all of my different creative impulses. I wish I had known when I was younger that its okay to be passionate in different areas. You don’t have to define yourself by only one path or career choice. You can fully embrace all of your creativity. You just have to make choices about what you focus on at any one moment.”
