Check out what Krissi had to say!
Her Campus (HC): What’s it like working at Sephora as a make-up artist?
Krissi Karren (KK): I get to meet really interesting people and show them that both inner and outer beauty are equally important!
HC: What do you love most about makeup?
KK: I love lipstick because you can instantly put it on, even in sweats, and feel so powerful!
HC: What inspired you to work at Sephora?
KK: I heard they were hiring seasonal employees so I thought it would be a good opportunity, and I haven’t left since.
HC: What are your favorite beauty products?
KK: I love Nars lipsticks and the Fresh skincare line.
HC: What is one makeup item you can’t leave the house without?
KK: My BB lip cream from Bite. It is amazing!
HC: Do you want to work in makeup in the future?
KK: I am honestly not sure yet. I really want to develop more artistry skills, but once I graduate college I will be hopefully be a journalist.
HC: How would you describe your signature look?
KK: My signature look is really natural with a dewy foundation finish, winged liner and some sort of color on my lips!
HC: What is the most important makeup tip you can give to our readers?
KK: My most important makeup tip I give all of my clients is: Wherever you initially place your brush, whether it is eye shadow or foundation, is where the most product will distribute. So always stay towards the center of your face or the middle of your eye, or crease, and then blend out to have a beautiful color placement.
