makeup + hair artist
Caitlyn Radford (formally Dixon) doesn’t just do makeup—she creates moments that stand out on screen, on stage, and in the spotlight. Based in Calgary, her artistry has taken her from Canadian runways to the red carpets of Cannes, where she placed in the top three internationally at L’Oréal Paris’ “The Brush Contest” after winning the national title.
​
Her work has appeared on celebrities like Jason Sudeikis, Soo Joo Park, and Brett Kissel, and her résumé includes major festivals such as TIFF and the Whistler Film Festival, along with campaigns for brands like Coors Light, Fairmont, and Pepsi. She has trained with icons of the industry—Sam Fine, Alex Box, Pati Dubroff, and more—refining a style that blends precision, creativity, and effortless sophistication.
​
In 2018, she launched the Caitlyn Dixon Makeup Academy, an online platform empowering women to master their own fresh, modern makeup routines.
Whether it’s a high-pressure film set, a brand-defining campaign, or a once-in-a-lifetime event, Caitlyn brings the same focus: exceptional artistry that elevates every face she touches.

Caitlyn is available for commercial, film, corporate, weddings, maternity, engagement, fashion photoshoots, events, makeup lessons and more. For inquiries on availability and pricing please visit the contact page. Thank you so much for stopping by!

"Caitlyn is one of my favourite makeup artists. Not only is she extremely talented and creative, she also listens to what I want. She is attentive and caring. I love to take good care of my skin and that is also one of her priorities. This made such a difference because she was able to create outstanding, dynamic looks without piling on a ton of makeup. She is one of the best at her craft and a beautiful person to be spending days with on set."

"Caitlyn is one of the most intuitive makeup artists I’ve ever worked with. From the first time she did my makeup and hair, she made me look like myself (but so much better!), and I knew I’d always be in good hands. Her touch is light and perfect, and she is an absolute joy to be around!"
