Miss Asian America Makeup Artist, Kansinee, Gives Back!

San Francisco Bay Area-based professional makeup artist Kansinee’s early aspirations were directly related to art and design, so her decision to pursue a career in the makeup industry felt like a natural decision.  Kansinee believes in enhancing the natural beauty that a woman already possesses. And, she has plenty of experience doing this. She's worked with a number of very beautiful women.

One of her clients, Chelsea Kuo, was awarded “Miss Congeniality” at Miss Asian America in 2008.

She is also responsible for Amanda Lee’s beautiful makeup. Amanda was awarded 1^st Princess at Miss Asian America last year.

Being around all of this beauty has been inspirational for her, but we were impressed with the beauty that Kansinee puts out into the world in her time outside of the pageant circuit.

Kansinee is a major animal lover, advocate, and protector. She uses only cruelty-free cosmetic lines in both her personal and professional life, with her top picks being: Smashbox, Urban Decay, MAC, and Organic Makeup.

I asked her what led to her decision to go cruelty free, and what motivates her to volunteer to work with animals?

Kansinee: “I've been a vegetarian for 6 years, and I believe in compassionate for all. Animal cruelty for one's own beauty is unacceptable. “

Kansinee’s volunteer work with animals includes: 

• Homeless Cat Network - 3 years (2004-07)
• Animal Care & Control San Francisco - 1 year (2008)
• IDA In Defense of Animals, Bay Area Vegetarians - occasionally join their leaflet events whenever possible (2004 - present)
