Hey everyone! My name is Kristy & I'm a licensed aesthetician & a makeup artist located in St. Louis.

I have always had a passion for art, makeup, photography, fashion, & beauty. I always ended up being the one to do makeup on everyone for dances, weddings, just going out, & everything in between when I was younger and I loved it. With a strong passion for it, I went to school at the Aesthetic Institute of St. Louis to become an Aesthetician and have had my license since March 2002. I have taken several workshops for both skin care and makeup since then. I enjoy educating people how to care for their skin. As a Makeup Artist I can enhance everyone's natural beauty, but can also create dramatic, glamorous, fun looks using assorted colors & techniques. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my work and I truly enjoy every minute of my job as a Makeup Artist and Aesthetician. It's a creative field with various aspects that flows with my personality!

I have worked in salon/spas as an MUA for wedding's, dances, other special occasions, & sometimes just for a night out on the town. I have done MUA work for a multiple photo shoots including House of Style Productions, mock & real weddings, Trash the Dress, Jessica Loretta productions, & a couple of clothes lines: Monkey Wrench Clothing- pinup style (Kansas City based) & Threaded Bones (who made their debut in St. Louis). Just recently jumped into face painting professionally & I'm loving it just as much as the clients. Hopefully body painting will be on my list as well here shortly!
