About me

Hello! I'm Krystal Depew from Marquette Heights, Illinois, which is located in Central Illinois. I am lucky to be positioned between Chicago and St. Louis, MO. I am thankful I can seek opportunities in both of those markets.

I fell into makeup as a small child, I was always conscious of a birthmark on my chin. When I turned 10, my mom took me to a makeup counter and we purchased Dermablend, a thick water-proof concealer. It was the best day of my childhood. Ever since, I have been experimenting with makeup. I am now happily married for 23 years and I have a 19 year old son.

After a 21-year career in corporate administration and hospital management I retired early because of my father's battle with colon cancer. My corporate experience is in Administrative Assistant, Executive Assistant, Manager, Hospital Administration and management, Call Center Management and much more.

I wanted to switch careers after my dad's passing and I wanted to do something I love. In September 2013 I began my new career as a Freelance Professional Makeup Artist. Below is a description of all the services I can provide my clients.
