I am a young, professional make-up artist just making my start in the business. I am interested in working on everything - from beauty to prosthetics. I will do it all to the best of my ability.
I received my training at Vancouver Film School's one year Make-up for Film and Television Program. Some of my make-up skills include basic beauty, bridal, wig styling, preparing lace pieces, sculpting, applying prostehtics, and out of kit effects.
I have worked on student webseries, professional photo shoots and independent film (including the short, 'Broken Strings' which is currently in competition under the Short Film Corner at the 2010 Cannes Film Fesitival).

"Throughout her involvement with this project , Krysten consistently demonstrated, through her work, a strong grasp of her craft, both artistically and professionally. That, in conjunction with her impressive work ethic, and equally impressive interpersonal skills, leads me to believe that she would be a huge asset to any production. "
~ a part of a reference letter, Micheal Baser
As head of the Production for VFS ENTERTAINMENT I get to see first hand, the students who have the ingredients to be successful in their given department. I feel Krysten possesses these trait including timeliness, hard working, creative, work well under pressure, solution, oriented, team player and technically proficient.
On top of that Krysten Is good person who does her job withough stealing energy or focus from the set. I would recommend Krysten for any kind of make-up job in the entertainment industry.
~ Micheal Chase
Krysten did a wonderful job on my makeup! Ive used her skills for several events, including for special occasions (beauty makeup) and just plain fun (Halloween).
Krysten is talented, young and adventurous. She does amazing work and is willing to try anything. Shes passionate about her work and is dedicated to giving 110%. Shes organized, focused and an excellent listener. I would recommend her to anyone!
~Michelle Payan
Krysten has a passion for her job that I have seen in few people in my life. She is young and ambitious, hungry to learn and improve her skills every day. She did not only give me invaluable advice on what to do just with stage make-up but also took the time to individually choose beauty make-up that fits not just my looks but also my personality. She listens to the clients wishes and finds a sense of accomplishment in a job well done and a happy client that speaks for itself.
I admire her work with prosthetics and I would let her make me bald any day.
~Birdie
If I know one thing about doing make-up or well the buisness itself its that her work is petty good. Im not wriitng this just because I know her personally but because she has a lot of potential. She is a talented young woman that loves her job and always ries to do her best.
