About Krystal Collins

Hailing from the Midwest, Krystal Leniece Collins (they/she) captivated their first audience in the produce section of the local Moo & Oink (may the beloved Chicago grocery chain rest in power). The genesis of their creative work started in dance performance and choreography, for which they have a degree in from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a multi-hyphenate creative producer, director and strategist, Krystal’s love for movement and the physical form continues to inform their artistic sensibilities.In 2022, Krystal made the daring career shift from their focus on dance performance and arts administration to professional makeup artistry. Since then, Krystal has had the privilege to be mentored by Clint Brock (@clintbrockbeauty), Tomomi Gonzalez (@to_mo_s_) and Anais McCaskie (@anaisjbeauty); assist for Jaleesa Jaikaran (@jaleesajaikaran), Marco Campos (@marcocamppos) and Sisi Nike (@sisi_nike); and study under Nicky Posley (@nickyposley) and Tiyana Robinson (@tiyanarobinsonbeauty). Throughout their many creative endeavors, Krystal continues to exude a passion for connection, artistry and a high level of execution.
