Based in Los Angeles, the talented makeup artist and licensed cosmetologist has built an impressive online presence that continues to grow. Her content, especially on TikTok, has really struck a chord with fans—so much so that she’s now amassed a massive following of 11 million. That kind of reach didn’t happen overnight, but her creativity and authenticity have clearly paid off. The name keeps coming up in beauty circles, and it’s no surprise—she was even spotlighted in a PAPER magazine feature discussing Rihanna’s exciting new beauty line, which only added to her rising fame.
Before all the buzz, though, things were much simpler. She made her first Instagram post way back on May 11, 2012—a fun snapshot of her and her friends playing with shadow shapes. It’s kind of poetic when you think about it, how someone who once played with light and shadows would one day shine so brightly in the digital world. Born in the United States on September 26, 2000, she’s young, driven, and full of talent.
In April 2021, she gave her boyfriend, Nick Krisko, a haircut in one of her TikTok videos—and yes, it went viral. Fans loved not just the transformation, but the behind-the-scenes glimpse into her personal life. Speaking of which, their adorable Miniature Australian Shepherd, Cookieminiaussie, has even become something of a star with its own popular TikTok account. Between her skills, charm, and the little moments she shares, it’s easy to see why the name keeps trending.
