Keturah Trevor is a Skin Care and Makeup Consultant at Contour Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery Center. Keturah joined the practice in April 2011 as a receptionist.
Don’t let her youthful look fool you. Keturah already has over a decade of experience as a makeup artist and is a highly sought-after professional, for photo and video shoots as well as helps brides look their best on their special day.
Keturah’s interest in fashion, and related hair and makeup industry, started an at early age and intensified in her teens as a pageant contestant. At the age of 17, she was asked to join a national cosmetic line which she represented for five years. Prior to joining Contour, she and Contour’s Aesthetician Anne Marie Johnson opened a skin care and makeup salon early in their careers just off fashionable El Paseo.
“I’ve applied makeup on every age range and ethnicity,” says Keturah, “I’ve helped people who have never worn make up to learn application techniques. My clients range include both men and women and range from pre-teens to people in their 80s, African American, Indian, and Asian, also clients with skin conditions or birthmarks.”
“I am in awe of what makeup can do with the right application and tools. If you weren’t born with high cheekbones, I can show you how to shade them. Lips can be shaped to appear fuller and eyes made to look bright and defined. I have a real passion for the artistry side of makeup,” she says.
“My goal is to let the makeup work for you, so that when people see you, they don’t see the makeup, they just see your natural features. I can enhance the authenticity of your skin and give you a low-maintenance makeup regimen that works for your lifestyle.”
At Contour, Keturah’s role includes offering patients skin care evaluations to help determine which skin care products would best suit their skin type along with makeup consultation, if desired. Additionally, she offers makeup parties for groups or individual makeup application lessons. She invites patients to bring in their own makeup bag to help them learn how to better use what they already have or if adding just one or two products can change their look and liven up their makeup. This September, Keturah is excited that Contour is now offering the renowned mineral-based Jane Iredale makeup line in addition to the physician-selected prestigious skin care lines available.
Keturah also focuses on helping post-surgery patients apply makeup for concealing during the healing process. For example, eyelid surgery patients, mini facelift patients and laser patients.
Born in Dallas, Keturah has lived in the Coachella Valley since age 2. A graduate of Palm Springs High School, she is studying at College of the Desert toward a degree in Psychology. She also continues to serve her clientele in the greater San Diego area. In her leisure time, she enjoys running half-marathons and playing with her pet Dachshund and Maltese, William and Isabella.
