ABOUT
Kara Waggoner Beauty
Just a girl with a dream. I remember my grandma taking me to the Clinique counter when I was 9. Applying my “rouge” made me feel like a princess. I was hooked.
Over 20 years ago, in 2004, I started my makeup artist career with MAC Cosmetics. I made the bold decision to leave nursing school in order to pursue my passion.
A new opportunity awaits. I embraced a new chapter of growth by moving to New York City to launch the Shu Uemura flagship location at Bloomingdale's on 59th Street. I had the privilege of training under top national artists and relished my time in Manhattan.
Professional experience. I have held various roles, such as Operations Manager for MAC at Tampa Florida’s International Plaza, ULTA Prestige Beauty Manager, Macy’s Cosmetic Department Manager Baltimore, MD, and Regional Territory Manager for Laura Mercier across MD/DC/VA.
Highlight of my career. I had the honor of collaborating with GUESS and Calvin Klein supermodel Danielle Knudson, as well as with South African supermodel Lisa Martinaglia.
