Frequently Asked Questions
What is Krista's signature style?
Krista’s signature style is soft, elevated glam. Polished, radiant, and effortless. Think luminous, healthy looking skin, subtly sculpted to define your features, neutral toned eyes with fluffy, soft false lashes to add depth and length, bronzed, blushy cheeks, and lined, glossy lips. You will be wearing a full face of makeup with Krista, but it won’t be heavy or dramatic, just a balanced, medium coverage look that enhances your features. Please take the time to review Krista’s Instagram and gallery to ensure her artistry style aligns with your vision.
When should I book my date?
Most brides reserve their date 9-12 months in advance, particularly for peak wedding season. Krista accepts a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every bride receives an exceptional level of care and attention. Popular weekends between April and November fill quickly, so early booking is highly recommended.
Do you offer bridal previews?
Yes, and they’re one of the most exciting parts of the process. Bridal previews are optional but highly recommended, offering a collaborative experience where we explore how makeup interacts with your skin, test textures and finishes, and refine every detail so your look feels natural, flattering, and true to you. We’ll review your inspiration, tailor the makeup to your features, and ensure your wedding day look feels effortless and confident.
Bridal previews are reserved exclusively for contracted brides who have officially secured their wedding date. Previews are intended for the bride only and are not offered for mothers, bridesmaids, or additional members of the bridal party, nor are they available as a standalone appointment. This policy allows Krista to dedicate her time, creativity, and preparation to clients who are fully committed, while ensuring each bride receives the thoughtful attention and elevated experience deserved for such an important occasion.
How long does makeup take?
Krista reserves 90 minutes for the bride to allow time for skin prep, application, and detail work. 50 minutes is reserved for bridesmaids, and other party member services. Krista creates a custom beauty timeline so everything runs seamlessly on your big day.
When should I schedule my preview?
Bridal previews are best scheduled 1–3 months before the wedding. At that point, many details like your dress, hairstyle, and overall aesthetic are more finalized, making it the perfect time to design a cohesive and elevated beauty look. Scheduling closer to the big day also ensures that any seasonal skin changes or tones are reflected accurately and wedding day details and timeline are confirmed.
What brands do you use?
Krista works with a curated selection of high-performance luxury brands, including Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Hourglass, NARS, and more. Every product in her kit is intentionally selected for its performance, longevity, skin-like finish, and ability to photograph beautifully in both natural light and professional photography.
Do you work with all skin tones and types?
Yes. Krista's kit is inclusive, and she has extensive experience working with a wide range of skin tones, types, and textures.
How do I secure my date?
Your wedding date is officially reserved once a signed contract and retainer have been received. Because Krista accepts a limited number of weddings each season in order to provide a highly personalized experience, bookings are secured on a first come, first served basis. Inquiries alone do not hold a date, and availability cannot be guaranteed until both the contract and retainer are completed. Once reserved, your date is set aside exclusively for you, allowing Krista to fully dedicate her time, preparation, and attention to your wedding experience.
What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Policies regarding rescheduling, cancellations, and any changes to your booking will be clearly outlined in your bridal makeup contract prior to securing your date. These policies are in place to ensure transparency, protect the time and preparation reserved exclusively for each client, and provide clear expectations for both parties throughout the booking process. Krista encourages every bride to review the contract carefully so all details regarding scheduling, retainers, payments, and potential changes are fully understood before booking.
Do you offer hair services?
Krista specializes exclusively in luxury bridal makeup artistry and does not offer hair services. As a licensed esthetician, her expertise is deeply rooted in skin preparation, complexion work, and creating makeup that enhances the skin in a polished, natural, and long-wearing way. By focusing solely on makeup, she is able to provide a highly refined, detail-oriented experience centered around timeless bridal beauty.
Krista is happy to provide trusted hairstylist recommendations from her network of talented industry professionals to help create a seamless wedding morning experience.
