We obviously love hearing about the exciting projects our alumni are working on, but we can’t disregard the amazing stories of our faculty! So this week, we are highlighting Kevin St James, who is a Beauty/Makeup instructor at AMUA.
Kevin began his makeup journey in Theatre at Ball State University. From there, he worked professionally in multiple theatre and film positions – both on stage and behind the scenes. He has toured with multiple theatre productions all over the world.
When he moved to Nashville in 2001 he worked in the music video production community for many years, not only doing makeup, but managing different production areas. He has worked with Taylor Swift, Kesha, Dolly Parton and Kacey Musgraves, to name a few!
His recent work includes makeup for the promotional material for the 2019 Season at the Nashville Ballet, and makeup for PBS American Masters featuring country music legend Marty Stuart.
Kevin was also key makeup artist for both Spring and Fall Trends Cover Girl fashion shows at Proctor & Gamble in Cincinnati. Other clients include Maria Salas CNN Latino Entertainment, Patrick Stinson Made In Hollywood and Reese Witherspoon “The Good Lie” Red Carpet Event and Film Premiere.
