In 2010, she graduated from Continental as a licensed Esthetician. Over the years she has attended master classes and workshops to refine her trade, including certification in airbrushing; both everyday and paramedical.

A Truly Exceptional Makeup Experience

Kristen was a true gem to find as a makeup artist. She radiates friendliness and warmth and instantly put me, my mom, and my bridesmaids at ease. Her approach was as personalized as it was professional, taking the time to listen carefully to each of us to deliver expertly tailored makeup looks. She even enlisted an assistant, ensuring the makeup process was both smooth and time-efficient, a detail we greatly appreciated on such a busy day. Kristen made the makeup sessions truly enjoyable experiences! Her easy-going demeanor and engaging conversation added a touch of fun to the wedding preparations. I would highly recommend Kristen’s services to anyone seeking an expertly skilled, calm, and reassuring makeup artist for their special day!

Love my make up every time.

Let me start by saying Kristen is incredible!
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing her for a few years now and whenever she does my makeup I adore my look!
She always knows how to make me feel my best, whether it’s a classic look I need, or a fun, go all out look. My eyes are always popping and she makes my skin glow.
Kristen has a warmth about her that calms and makes getting your make up done relaxing. She is funny and easy to talk with. She has an eye for detail, my lashes are always amazing.
I could go in and on, but as whole she is fantastic!
I wish I had known her for my wedding day- I love my makeup every time.
Thank you Kristen!

Attentive to detail, professional, and so sweet!

Kristen was just fabulous to work with from the very beginning. She was so responsive to my messages and patient as I found the right vendors for me. Our first phone call left me very excited and at ease, knowing I had a makeup artist who actually cared! I was so impressed after my trial, at the amount of detail and time Kristen spent with me. She took notes of everything I liked, and tried a couple different styles of eye looks on me as well. Something I really appreciated, that many MUA or Hair Stylists do NOT do, is about 3/4 through my trial, Kristen asked me to take a look and see how I was liking things, and what I might want to change. Instead of just waiting until the end and then saying to me before I can even decide for myself, "Omg don't you love it!?" The way she approached the entire process made me feel so comfortable. My wedding day was amazing with her. She was early, so calm, and did beautiful makeup on all the girls. My makeup lasted through many tears, dancing (it was a hot July day!) and stayed all night long. Thank you Kristen!!!
