YO NIKKI: Why were you drawn to this industry?
KRYSTAL: I have always been fascinated by fashion, pop culture and the beauty industry. I cannot tell you how I used to purchase every fashion magazine and study the editorials to the very last detail. I got into artistry in such an unexpected way, but you know what they say, "you make a wrong turn but end up going right"! I'm a very creative person and I breathe the arts. Makeup artistry became the way I spoke to the world.
YO NIKKI: What is the most challenging aspect of being a Make Up Artist?
KRYSTAL: As a freelance artist, you have to understand that you work for yourself and you are building your brand--creating your empire. To be successful and stay busy, you have to constantly network and put yourself out there. You will hear a lot of "No's", but you cannot let it hinder you. It can be easy to get frustrated or disappointed. This industry is not for the weak at heart.
YO NIKKI: What and/or where was your favorite gig?
KRYSTAL: HMMMM, I think each gig I have done has been rewarding and has been a learning experience in its own unique way. Artistry is every-evolving, so I can see growth in each project. I definitely have to say that I loved doing the Guess Marciano fashion show here in Miami! The models were stunning! I caught myself gawking a little! The clothes were amazing and the atmosphere was electric!
YO NIKKI: Do you have a favorite artist/designer that you love to work with? And Why?
KRYSTAL: Larry Andrew for Asia Mynor! I have to give it to him for being one of my all-time favorite designers. We are from the same hometown (Milwaukee) and I love his fashion and trunk shows. When we work together, its magic because we really click together on the overall vision--which is nice! He trusts me and I trust him, which makes things run smoothly!
