ABOUT US
About us
At Kurea Makeup Studio, we believe beauty begins with authenticity. Founded by Claire, a passionate makeup artist and mother of two, with years of experience in bridal, evening, and commercial shoots, Kurea is built on the philosophy of enhancing natural elegance—never masking it.
Over the years, Claire has had the opportunity to work on campaigns with brands like One Campaign, UOB, Lazada, VOCO Hotel, OWNDAYS, and many more. Whether it’s a wedding, commercial shoot, or a special moment in your life, we approach every project with care, artistry, and a commitment to detail.
Our signature style is timeless, refined, and radiant—focused on glowing skin, soft structure, and enhancing your natural features. To stay current and inspired, Claire attends advanced makeup courses every year—not only in Singapore but also in China, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Korea, continually refining her skills and gaining fresh perspectives to serve our clients better.
Most recently, she returned from Korea after completing Cocory Color Inc’s Color Curator course, bringing the art of
personal color analysis to KUREA. This expertise helps every client discover the shades that truly complement their unique beauty.

Our Studio
More Than Just a Space
Our new creative studio in Tampines is more than a makeup chair — it’s a space built for collaboration.
Available for rental, the studio welcomes photographers, videographers, content creators, and beauty professionals for shoots, workshops, or creative projects.
Our Mission
At Kurea Makeup Studio, our mission is to make every person feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful in their own skin. We believe makeup should never hide who you are—it should highlight what makes you uniquely you. With a gentle touch, an eye for detail, and a heart for connection, we bring out your natural glow for the moments that matter most. Whether we're creating timeless looks or guiding the next generation of artists, we do it with care, warmth, and a love for the art of beauty.
Behind the Name
Why "KUREA"
The name KUREA (クレア) is a gentle nod to founder Claire’s own name—infused with a touch of softness, elegance, and individuality, much like the makeup style she’s become known for. It represents more than just a brand; it’s a reflection of her personal journey as an artist, a mother, and a woman who believes in the quiet power of authenticity.
“Kurea” also captures the essence of what we stand for: a blend of beauty and intention, East and West, artistry and warmth. It’s a name that feels personal—because every face we work on, every moment we’re part of, is deeply personal to us.
