  • MUA | Lead Educator

    Kasey Rees is a Nashville based Makeup Artist and Creative Director with a combined 8 years of experience. Kasey  specializes in makeup for beauty, fashion, commercial, music video, editorial, and film. Kasey is also the Brand Director and one of the Production Coordinators for the hair & makeup company One10Beauty. She is commonly recognized for her clean makeup techniques, and stunning complexion work. Kasey has a very sophisticated makeup style, but isn’t afraid to play in color. She is notorious for being a very hands on leader, and considers herself to be a hybrid between makeup artist and creative director. Finding joy in designing looks for photoshoots by curating mood boards that come from a lens of both a director and artist, she is not afraid to put herself out there and collaborate on ideas with like minded photographers. Kasey believes that you have to put the work out that you want to receive back, and that is exactly what this Artist Development Session will do for you.
