Using Canva as a Makeup Artist

Hello! I'm Cristy, you may know me as a commercial makeup artist and wardrobe stylist but I'm also a Canva nerd:-)! And I mean this in the best possible way. Since, discovering Canva, I literally keep this program open as much as my makeup kit! It's available on my desktop and my phone all day, everyday.

Just like my favorite tools and products have changed my makeup game, Canva has been a HUGE game changer in the marketing, communication and process sides of my makeup and styling business.
