Celebrity Makeup Artist + Hair Stylist

based in Los Angeles & beyond

Lisa Chamberlain has a passion for bringing out your natural beauty and making you feel your best. Hailing from Minneapolis, Lisa started her beauty career young, becoming the in-house beautician for her three younger sisters. Her passion for makeup led her to the Aveda Institute Minneapolis, where she graduated with her cosmetology license in 2010. After an apprenticeship and time at Spalon Montage Salon, she was drawn to the West Coast and moved to Los Angeles, where she has built her career for more than a decade.

Today, Lisa is a Los Angeles makeup artist and hair stylist represented by The REX Agency, specializing in commercial print advertising and pop artists. She’s known for flawless, skin-first makeup, creative color, and looks that enhance natural beauty instead of covering it. She has worked with publications including Allure, British Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Glamour, and has been quoted as a makeup expert in The Zoe Report and W Magazine. Her client list includes Nike, Target, Disney, Hulu, and Toyota, along with talent like Kyle Richards, Josephine Skriver, Cody Simpson, and Bruno Major. She also appeared on Season 1 of Lifetime’s American Beauty Star, hosted by Adriana Lima, where she and her teammate, hairstylist Corey Ford, finished as runners-up.

In addition to her work in Los Angeles, Lisa focuses on giving back. She has traveled to Senegal, Africa, on a missions trip to teach beauty skills, including giving haircuts at orphanages and teaching beauty and hygiene classes at schools. She credits it as a life-changing experience that combined her talents as an artist and humanitarian.

While she’s not on set, Lisa is passionate about her faith, healthy living, painting in her art studio, and her cat Monet, who has a white mustache. A classically trained pianist and multi-talented visual artist, she approaches every face like a composition and will make sure you feel like the most striking version of yourself, inside and out.

I start with skin prep and build in light layers, so the finish feels hydrated and lived in, not heavy. I work with each client’s face, features, and the moment they’re dressing for, whether that’s a set, a red carpet, or a big day. My goal is that you look like yourself and feel like the best version of you.

My philosophy

I believe good

makeup should look like skin, only better.

I'm a makeup artist and a hair stylist, and so I see the whole look as one picture: the skin, the brows, the cut, the color. I start with healthy skin and healthy hair, build in light layers, and shape everything around your features, your style, and the moment you're dressing for. Whether it's a set, a red carpet, or a big day, my goal is that you look like yourself and feel like the best version of you.
