In a beauty world often saturated with trends and heavy-handed glam, Kanwal Batool has quietly mastered the art of restraint. As the founder of Beauty by KB, the New York-based makeup and hair artist has carved a space for herself—and her soft, timeless aesthetic—that speaks volumes without shouting.

Known for her subtle, skin-focused makeup and polished, touchably soft hairstyles, Batool is often the go-to for brides, public figures, and media personalities looking for a look that feels elevated but never overdone. Her signature? Making people look like the absolute best version of themselves.

“I’m drawn to the kind of beauty that enhances rather than transforms,” Batool explains. “There’s so much power in a light touch.”

That same philosophy earned her one of her most iconic moments to date: creating Diljit Dosanjh’s look for the Met Gala. The subtle grooming, clean finish, and effortless sophistication captured headlines—and exemplified the type of quiet luxury Kanwal is known for.

Her journey began with a deep-rooted passion for artistry and self-expression, but it’s her ability to listen, observe, and intuitively understand each client’s needs that sets her apart. “Every face tells a story. I just help bring that story to life—with grace, with care, and with intention.”

Though she’s now working with high-profile clients, Kanwal remains grounded in her mission: to make people feel beautiful in their own skin. Whether behind the scenes at a shoot, prepping a bride for her big day, or styling a celebrity moments before they walk the red carpet, her calm presence and refined vision shine through.

With Beauty by KB, Kanwal Batool isn’t just shaping looks—she’s shaping confidence. And in doing so, she’s reminding the industry that beauty, when done right, is simply unforgettable.
