The Artist
Steve
Koreis-MacLeod
Some artists specialize. Steve has spent decades mastering everything — and then brought it all together into one studio in Chehalis, WA.
With a career spanning film production, live television, luxury cosmetics, and now advanced permanent makeup, Steve's approach is rooted in a simple belief: the best results come from genuine artistry, not just technique.
"I want to be known as the go-to artist for permanent makeup and topical solutions that improve and enhance — not just glamorize."
— Steve
Background
A Career Built on Craft
Steve's career began in the world of professional styling and makeup — working on commercials, live television, and film productions where precision and adaptability weren't optional.
That foundation in professional media gave Steve an eye for what works on camera, in person, and in real life — an understanding of light, color, and proportion that most artists never develop.
As a nationally featured makeup artist for a renowned luxury French cosmetic company, Steve worked at the intersection of science and artistry — understanding formulation, skin chemistry, and the technical side of beauty at a level most practitioners never reach.
Today, that depth of knowledge informs every permanent makeup procedure — from color theory in scar camouflage to the precise stroke mapping of nano eyebrows.

The Approach
Realistic results for real people.
Steve's philosophy is straightforward: every client deserves honest guidance, realistic expectations, and results that genuinely improve their quality of life. That means turning away clients who aren't good candidates, recommending complementary treatments when appropriate, and never overpromising.
It also means staying current. The field of permanent makeup evolves — and so does Steve's practice. Procell Micro-Channeling, nano brow techniques, and scar camouflage are all areas where ongoing education and refinement matter enormously.
