Let your natural beauty shine.

Clean beauty, expertly matched to you — in a dedicated studio in South Orange, NJ.

WELCOME!

I'm Rebecca Kirkwood, a clean beauty artist and owner of the studio Kirkwood House of Beauty, based in South Orange, NJ.

If you've ever walked out of Sephora with the wrong shade, ordered something online that looked nothing like you expected, or held onto a product for months because you weren't sure how to use it — you're not alone, and it's not you.

Most of us were never taught how to shop for ourselves. We don't know our undertones, our face shape, which formulas actually work for our skin. So we guess. And we spend. And we start over.

That's where I come in.

I work with people who are ready to stop guessing — to invest in learning what actually works for their face, their coloring, and their life. Every product I use and recommend is clean, non-toxic, and chosen because it works and because it's good for you.

When you leave my studio, you won't just look great. You'll understand why — and you'll be able to recreate it.

PORTFOLIO

MEET YOUR ARTIST

rebecca kirkwood beauty

You always wanted your own personal makeup artist in your back pocket, right? Well, I’m Rebecca, nice to meet you! I’m so excited to be that person for you.

I’m passionate down to my bones about natural beauty, women's health, and empowering all people to feel their best. I believes full heartedly that every woman should feel beautiful and that the role of makeup is to enhance one's natural beauty.

When not at work, I can almost always be found snuggling with my two daughters, reading (children’s) books, Facetiming with family, or watching TV with my husband and two very fluffy cats!

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • "Loved the experience I had with Rebecca - she took the time to really understand what I wanted to achieve with my makeup routine and helped me find the right products to get me there. She has great taste and truly puts the client first."

    Megan

  • "I had a really fun and informative session with Rebecca, learning all about what products and shades suit my skin and face. The report Rebecca produced afterwards was really detailed, thorough and helpful, and came with a full product shopping list of all the things we tried and liked. Highly recommend!!"

    Shelley

  • "Rebecca is sweet and informative and has some really great makeup suggestions. I enjoyed this experience rather than at a makeup counter because it felt like no pressure to purchase."

    Lily

  • "I needed help with making the transition to clean beauty products and updating my makeup routine. We had a 1:1 virtual session about my skincare needs and natural makeup look, and she completely nailed the right colors I needed and suggested great products that I am now completely obsessed with."
