about

Hello! I am studying esthetics at an Aveda Institute after spending years in retail. I am proof that nothing turns out how you think it will, and that's a good thing. When you think you've got it figured out, you don't. Life would be boring otherwise, right?
Makeup, skincare, and psychology are my passions and I'm also happy to give advice on relationships, particularly for teenagers (so many things I wish I could have told myself a decade ago!) I'm happy to help fellow abuse survivors as well.
I'm a diehard SF Giants fan and also enjoy watching the Sharks and Niners. Addicted to music, especially The Gaslight Anthem. Oh, and my name is Krista. :)

I'm going to a formal dinner and dance this weekend with my boyfriend and his parents.

I'm wearing a black halter dress that comes down to my knees on the left side and my calf on the right... it's really pretty :) I'm wearing purple flats with it.

Thing is, I don't know what to do for hair and makeup!

Here's a picture of me, to make things a little easier.

I have really short brown hair, blue/grey/green eyes, and pale skin. Currently I only own black eyeliner and black mascara (I'm ridiculously low maintenance!)

Any help before Saturday would be appreciated!

If you have time to go shoe shopping, I'd get a pair of black or silver shoes instead of purple, unless you have jewelry that has purple in it.

Blowdry your hair, maybe put a little shine serum in it. Apply a little bit of a rosy blush on your cheeks, not a lot. Line your eyes, apply a little more mascara than you usually do. Apply a sheer lip gloss with a hint of pink and you should be ready to go. You're really pretty- you don't need a lot of makeup.
