Kristyan Low

Bio

Sydney-based makeup artist Kristyan Low is known for pairing his signature clean skin look with touches of rawness and lashings of creativity. Having worked for Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, Elle, GQ, Gucci, Country Road and Bonds, Kristyan draws on his sense of professionalism and calmness on set to nail the brief every time. “Connecting with other creatives and fulfilling beautiful briefs is my favourite part of the job,” Kristyan says. “And forging lifelong friendships.” My signature aesthetic is… Innovative. Raw. Polished. The style of editorial I enjoy styling the most is… Editorials that allow me to play with either shape, texture or colour. My favourite piece of work so far is… Joining forces with skin care and makeup brand Rationale and sharing my story. My greatest source of creative inspiration is… Fashion and beauty in history – I love the ’20s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. My muse is… Oprah. I love her authenticity and the spiritual journey she’s been on. My personal brand is… Kindness with a positive attitude. The item in my kit that consistently saves the day on a shoot is… Chanel Les Beiges Cream Bronzer. Great for skin, eyes and cheeks. Quick, seamless and perfect for on set. If I had my own signature scent, it would be called… Love. If I wasn’t a hair & makeup artist I’d be… A gymnast or on Selling Sunset.
