Studio Matthew is a private luxury beauty destination in Kansas City founded by makeup artist Matthew Allen. With more than 20 years of experience across red carpets, fashion runways, editorial work, and the global beauty and fashion industries, Allen brings technical expertise and a personal approach to each appointment. His career has included Paris Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, and award shows in Los Angeles.

The studio offers customized makeup artistry for special events, including wedding and bridal-party looks, as well as personal makeup lessons. Each session is shaped around a client’s skin, style, sensitivities, and goals, with an emphasis on enhancing natural features rather than following trends. Clients are guided through the process in a warm, supportive setting and can leave with both a polished look and practical beauty knowledge.

Studio Matthew presents beauty as an individual, confidence-building experience. Its one-on-one services combine refined technique, thoughtful preparation, and education, helping clients reconnect with their own features and feel radiant beyond the appointment.
