Mackenzie is a global professional make up artist and is deeply committed to not only exploring the many avenues of her craft, but refining her skills to the highest degree. Her love of make up has stemmed from a lifelong passion for both theatre and history and she loves to combine the two whenever possible. In words immortalized by Lee Hall, “…the point of theatre is transformation: to make an extraordinary event out of ordinary material right in front of an audience's eyes.” In Mackenzie’s opinion, make up design is the backbone of theatrical transformation.
In 2018 her Runway work was featured in Vogue UK and Harper's Bazaar.
In 2020 her artistry was recognized at the Queens World Film Festival, where she won an award for "Outstanding Special Effects" for her work on The Creepers Curse. In 2024, Tea directed by Blake Rice made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival where it was a contender for the Short Film Competition. Tea also was a contender for the 2024 Oscars and was awarded "Best Hair and Makeup" by the RiverRun International Film Festival in 2025.
Mackenzie is a graduate of Syracuse University, The London School of Business and Finance as well as the Make-up Designory's New York Campus, where she graduated with a 4.0 and 860 clock hours.
