Stephen Moleski is a professional makeup artist, creative director, and beauty educator. He is credited with pioneering the development of online makeup tutorials and creating iconic looks for celebrities over a 20+ year career. Moleski’s unique skill set of creating aesthetic balance and innovative brand vision has expanded the reach of leading beauty companies he has worked with such as Lawless Beauty and Nudestix. He also serves as Creative Director for Stewdiospace in LA, a premier west coast photography studio operated alongside husband and renowned Photographer Michael Stewart.
A natural gift for fine art led Moleski to begin experimenting with watercolor from the age of 5. Practicing his technique at Sarasota’s Ringling School of Art and Design, he developed the distinctive approach he now brings to the art of makeup application and aesthetic enhancement. His extraordinary perspective on beauty, balance, and color as a MUA has lured a slew of loyal celebrity clientele. In 2009, Moleski’s application of his signature “smokey eye” on Kim Kardashian became one of the first and most iconic online makeup tutorials on the internet. Today, Moleski’s resume consists of a long list of famous models, singers and actresses (Karrueche Tran, Peyton List, Nichole Sherzinger, Josie Totah, Mel B. and Pia Toscano, to name a few)!
Partnering with influential celebrities across various industries, Moleski’s work has been featured in global print media, television, film, music videos, and photographed at notable events. His diverse portfolio includes makeup for TV shows like TNT’s Claws, and featured in Glamour, Vogue (Teen, Italian, US), Shape, People, and O Magazine. Moleski’s position as Senior Director of Artistry & Education for Anisa International served to further innovation in beauty product development and application. There, he led a team of seasoned designers, spearheaded the creation of consumer-focused tools, developed product guides, and crafted marketing language to exponentially grow worldwide brands such as Revlon, Beauty Blender, Estée Lauder, Scott Barnes Cosmetics, and more.
Moleski’s more recent work can be seen in the makeup artistry of international campaigns for the biggest names in beauty, including Fashion Nova, Jouer, Savage X Fenty, Viseart, and Eyebrow Queen. As a makeup artist, his passion lies in uncovering clients’ exceptional aesthetic qualities. Believing “there is nothing more powerful than a person who looks in the mirror and sees their unique beauty,” Moleski empowers others to look and feel their best by embracing their true identity with confidence.
