Meet Mary Kay Global Makeup Artist Keiko Takagi.

Introducing Mary Kay Global Makeup ArtistKeiko Takagi

Color is the tool I need to express myself. I have some interesting innovative ideas for moving color forward with Mary Kay. I have a unique point of view of what is going on in Asia. So I’m happy to be part of the Mary Kay Global Makeup Artist Team.

Keiko Takagi, New York, N.Y.

As a native of Japan, Keiko developed a deep appreciation for the colors, textures and endless variety she found in nature. She studied ballet as a child and became a backup dancer for popular singers in Japan. But Keiko’s true passion for makeup blossomed as she experimented with color at the makeup table backstage. Since then, designers, photographers and celebrity clients around the world have come to depend on her expertise and creativity with makeup. Keiko believes that beautiful makeup begins with healthy skin, a philosophy that makes her a perfect fit on the Mary Kay Global Makeup Artist Team.
