bout krist

welcome to my beauty space

I specialize in natural glam and no-makeup makeup looks, with a keen focus on enhancing the beauty of mature skin. My passion lies in skincare and understanding the unique needs of mature clientele, ensuring that every application is tailored to achieve a radiant and youthful appearance.
I believe in the transformative power of makeup and love to share my knowledge through one-on-one or group lessons. My goal is to make makeup approachable, helping to remove any fear or intimidation you might feel. Whether you’re looking to refine your skills or simply want to enhance your natural beauty, I’m here to guide you on your journey to confidence!

Kristi is an amazing makeup artist! Personable, fun and always on top of touchups. She can create a beautiful natural look but also vamp it up with a well-blended smoky eye. Most importantly, she keeps a clean kit!

ducation + tranin

I believe in always being a student before being a teacher. I am constantly taking classes to learn various techniques and best in class products and tools of the trade. I am an active member of The Powder Group (TPG) which is a long standing organization that provides a number of resources such as artist mentors, special events across the country for artists to network while learning from the best in the industry. They also offer in person and virtual classes across all aspects of makeup. I’ve completed over 150 hours of a Freelance Makeup Artist program with Artist Makeup Academy AMA. In 2024, I applied and was accepted into the iArtist Program; focused on personal and professional development. Additionally I am very passionate about more creative makeup such as Halloween and SFX and have taken classes with some of the best in the industry such as Jake Dani Fonseca.
