Meet your makeup artist
Finn Mauritzen
I’m a professional makeup artist based in the DMV area, with over ten years of experience in bridal, commercial, and production makeup. My career began in holistic therapy, which laid the foundation for my skin-first, wellness-centered approach to beauty. Today, I bring that philosophy into every part of my work—whether I’m preparing a bride for her big day or leading a commercial production team through the creative process.
My journey in beauty and wellness has taken me around the world. I provided five-star spa services aboard Royal Caribbean International for Steiner Leisure Limited, managed a luxury spa at the exclusive Killarney Park Hotel in Ireland, and led retail teams at Origins and L’Occitane in the U.S. I also served as operations manager at Revel Medspa, where I deepened my knowledge of skincare treatments and client-centered care.
After stepping away from the spa world, I transitioned into video production as an Associate Producer, gaining hands-on experience with creative teams, lighting, and camera work. That behind-the-scenes knowledge became a powerful asset when I returned to beauty full-time and launched Blush Away Makeup, LLC in 2016.
Since then, I’ve built a career that blends my diverse background with a deep understanding of makeup for both real life and camera. I’ve worked as a lead makeup artist on a wide range of productions—from sports commercials and corporate campaigns to educational spots with children. I often collaborate with directors and producers in pre-production, helping develop the creative vision and crafting looks that align with the brand, tone, and format of each project.
In the bridal space, I offer a holistic beauty experience—guiding clients through customized skincare routines and calming preparation leading up to the wedding. My goal is to create looks that feel timeless, polished, and authentically you.
Whether you're stepping in front of a 4K camera or walking down the aisle, I bring calm professionalism, set experience, and a skin-focused approach to help you look and feel your best.
