About Kelly La Banco
Thirty years of makeup. One consistent point of view.
Kelly is a Chicago-based makeup artist known for polished, authentic beauty: makeup that works for the person in the mirror and the camera pointed at them.
The through-line
Modern beauty without erasing the person.
Kelly’s approach favors luminous skin, strategic color, soft definition and makeup that moves naturally through real life. That philosophy carries from bridal work to headshots, production, lessons and talent.
Her career has included work in Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Las Vegas, Mexico and the British Virgin Islands, along with television, commercial, music and celebrity assignments.
Alongside artistry, Kelly is known for practical wellness-minded recommendations, relatable lifestyle content, beauty trends and everyday routines that people can actually use.
