It all began with Avon and a dream…
My love for beauty started as a little girl, watching my grandma do her makeup. She sold Avon and I loved playing with all of the lipsticks and eyeshadows and watched in awe as she would get ready. From a young age, I always knew I wanted to be a Makeup Artist. Throughout my career as a Makeup Artist and licensed Esthetician, I've worked in many different areas of the industry, but have found my passion for working with brides and have become well-known for my signature “Naturally Enhanced Beauty” style that is timeless, yet glowing and fresh, and subtly highlights my client’s favorite features.
Throughout my career as a Bridal Makeup Stylist, I've realized so many of my brides were planning their weddings from across the country and I wanted to use my background in Education and Beauty to help inform my clients on the vital information that can help them with planning for their wedding day beauty. I have created a signature experience just for Blush Brides so they can feel confident in planning as well as learn beauty tips that they can use long after their wedding day in everyday life.
I've spent years perfecting the perfect Wedding Day Beauty Experience-crafting a tailored experience with enhanced, natural, and timeless makeup.

Meet Christa
CHRISTA IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF WEDDINGS PER YEAR.
Meet the visionary and creative force behind Blush Atelier. Christa creates elevated makeup and experiences that transcend style, beauty, and simplicity.
As a Makeup Artist, I always took the time to look good. Makeup was kind of a self-care moment for me. Once I had my son, all of that time disappeared and between working, chasing him around, and maintaining a home, that precious time I used to have for myself went out the door along with my confidence.
As a working woman especially in the beauty industry no makeup wasn’t an option, so I developed a capsule beauty wardrobe of only the essentials and and created a beauty lookbook of my go to looks for every and any occasion.
Now I can create a full face in less than 5 minutes and take that look to the next level in 10. I have mastered the techniques and routine to create elevated and polished beauty that is natural and authentic to me so I feel like the best version of myself.
Now as a working mom, I get to reach even more women with sharing my knowledge and expertise of over 14 years to help busy women learn how to do makeup on themselves that is easy, elevated and most importantly authentic to who they are.
My heart is so full of gratitude that I'm able to live my dream helping women look and feel like the best version of themselves.
I truly believe my purpose in life is helping women feel beautiful and confident in their skin and equipping them with the tools so they can be the best version of themselves for all of life's most important moments.
I'd love to and connect to start helping you discover your signature look for any and every ocassion.

Beauty Blender hands down! It has to be one of the best beauty inventions of all time for it's versatility and a must have in a capsule beauty routine.
Other than catching up on sleep, I love sports! I love Bananaball (I am 100% a Party Animals fan) and Grand Sumo (sumo wrestlers are some of the most amazing athletes.)
