ABOUT ME

I’m Kendra Bliss, the artist behind Kendra Bliss Beauty. I specialize in soft glam that stays flawless—even in the New Orleans heat—and enhances your natural beauty while still making a statement. From bridal suites to boardrooms, my signature style is polished, radiant, and timeless.

Last year, I had the honor of doing makeup for Caroline Wanga, the CEO of Essence. This year, I’m thrilled to bring that same level of excellence to women attending Essence Fest 2025—women like you.

Whether you’re a speaker, author, creative, or just flying in to enjoy the culture—you deserve makeup that turns heads, holds up, and feels as good as it looks. My work has been trusted by professionals, influencers, and powerhouses because I don’t just apply makeup—I create confidence.
