Hired on Thumbtack
I was having pictures done with my husband for our anniversary. I haven't worn or applied makeup in a long time. Wanted to look my best but not overdone. Krista was the perfect choice. Fun and easy to work with. It took an hour to have my face looking prettier with a natural outcome. My husband liked it too!

Krista was exceptional. We hired her to give my daughters and me makeuplessons. She did great work, but was also punctual, professional, and so sweet. Gave us great product recommendations. My daughters loved her. Highly recommended, and we will contact her anytime we have an event that needs a makeup artist.

I booked Krista for my client’s Boudoir session and she did amazing. She was on time and came prepared. The makeup and hair she did on my client looked amazing! She was done right on time as well. Will definitely book her again.

If I could select all five options for reviewing Kristas work, I would. I’m a little peeved that I can’t. Do better Thumbtack! Krista did an AMAZING job and made me feel so beautiful on my 40th birthday. She was so much fun and answered so many questions from both my and my friend. I highly recommend her!!! If I’m ever in nashville again, I will definitely be wanting my makeup done by her. Thank you so much Krista!!
