The Scoop

I'm Kelli Thomsen, and my journey in the beauty world began with a personal quest. For years, I navigated my own skin challenges, feeling overwhelmed by promises and underwhelmed by results. This experience ignited a mission: to truly understand what unlocks radiant skin, and to eliminate the toxins and complexities that hold us back.

Now, two decades later, that quest fuels my passion: empowering you to discover your most confident, luminous self. More than a Portland-based makeup artist, I see myself as your partner in this journey, your advocate for clean beauty, and a dedicated supporter of your well-being.

My core belief is that true beauty radiates from within. It's about finding comfort and confidence in your own skin. That’s why my approach extends beyond skincare, focusing on a personalized, holistic experience. Together, we'll consider your lifestyle, energy levels, and daily habits to create simple, sustainable steps that nourish both your skin and your spirit. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s tailored for you.

Why clean beauty? Because I've witnessed the transformative power of natural ingredients firsthand. Removing toxins not only clears the skin but also elevates energy, enhances mood, and fosters a deeper connection with your inner health. This conviction led me to create Om Beauty Oil – a small-batch blend of pure, beneficial ingredients that I personally use and highly recommend.

Above all, I value the connections I make with the individuals I work with. Whether assisting a couple in exuding joy on their special day or guiding a personalized DIY makeup lesson that sparks a newfound sense of self-assurance, I am genuinely honored to play a part in your story.

What transformation are you seeking? If you're ready to simplify your skincare, embrace your authentic beauty, and discover a personalized approach that resonates with your needs, I invite you to connect. Let's discuss your skincare goals, your challenges, and what you envision for your skin's future.

It has been a mission of Kelli's to minimize inflammation and weakness from the inside out. Her diet consists of more raw veggies, green juices, whole foods and she has even chosen to eliminate the processed garbage. Teaching herself and others new habits like dry brushing, aromatherapy are a few of the ways Kelli has helped herself and others start healthier habits.
