Must book!!
Kristene is exactly who you want around on your big day. Not only is she extremely skilled with makeup, she is a calming and positive presence. She handles all requests and feedback with professional input which is exactly what you want when you are collaborating on your important looks. Not only is she great with makeup, but really helped me with products to ensure my skin was prepped for the wedding. She is a top notch professional, and you won’t regret including her in your special day.

Kristene is amazing!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristene and her beauty services! From start to finish, she was the perfect combination of professional, caring, and talented. She has such an incredible talent and I loved the way my makeup came out. Beyond her artistry, Kristene is one of the sweetest and kindest people you’ll ever meet! She listens closely to what you want, offers thoughtful suggestions, and creates an experience that feels calm, fun, and personal. Her attention to detail and professionalism made the entire process seamless, and I couldn’t have felt more confident or beautiful. I highly, highly recommend Kristene to anyone looking for a makeup artist who truly goes above and beyond. She’s not only incredibly skilled but also a joy to be around — you’ll absolutely be in the best hands!

One of the most talented makeup artists!
Kristene is one of the kindness and professional makeup artists I have ever had! It can be daunting trusting someone to do your makeup for your wedding day but Kristene really listens and understands your vision. I had a picture in my mind and she was able to do it all! She also takes her sanitization very seriously, always cleaning brushes and washing hands. I would use her for my next major event!
