Hi, I`m Krista!
Movies, musicals, theatre and TV - that´s my area of expertise. Within 16 years of experience I`ve worked with many International film crews and love working with them! I`ve specialized in TV and theatre make-up but I love to challenge myself further and develop my skills. I`m based in Helsinki, Finland but willing to travel when necessary. I do also beautiful make-ups and hairdos at a beauty salong called Herttuattaren Kauneuspilkku, close to the city centre of Helsinki. Do not hesitate to contact me! It would be nice to work together!

How I got to the make-up field?
I had no clue of this work when I moved to England after High School and paid my living with restaurant work. I was lucky to have a supervisor who gave me the inspiration to study a make-up artistry which I found out to be my passion!
When I realized what I wanted to do with my life and moved back to Finland from England, my dream almost crushed because I still had no money and the schools were so expensive. I paid my make-up school by serving tables in a restaurant. I saved every penny I got as a tip for the school and the normal salary was just enough for my rent and food. It took two restaurants and one very busy year to save those thousands of euros but I`ve never regretted that.
And here I am, I`ve done this job for 14 years now and I`m still loving it! Still getting excited about it, still eager to learn.
Sometimes I need to remind myself where I`ve started and how lucky I`ve been, but also how much I have worked for it.
