References for Sister Of Sinister

Elladora

Had my first shoot of 2020 with the most wonderful Sister Of Sinister/Kris last Friday.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet her! Really glad to have had the opportunity to work together and doubt it will be the last. We did 2 looks, first was a very gothic set including pieces from Valkyrie Corset and Patine Noir. Then another of her well-known, signature glitter looks which I was super excited for. Kris was very gentle, hygienic and professional when putting on my glitter makeup. I was provided with wipes and towels to clean myself after.

Studio Visage where we shot was great! I will be putting a separate reference for that but will say that Kris had a great collection of makeup, outfits and headdresses, one of which I was delighted to model.

I was well looked after during my shoot, which was most appreciated since I had started to get a cold. I had help changing outfits, offered lots of tea and had most wonderful fur baby cuddle's with Miss Lala which I agreed pre shoot would be ok to have join us on the day.

Thank you for a great shoot and look forward to the next!

Finally got to work alongside Kristina when she was the MUA on a duo with @samjaz and @benallthetime at Inspire Studios.

Kris is a lovely person, very friendly and chatty, and an extremely professional, talented makeup artist.

I really hope I get the chance to work with her again :-)

Highly recommended by me to all models, photographers and studios (Y)

Thanks Kris

Wow, wow, wow!! What an incredible lady and mua. Rapture Photography booked Kristina for a group of friends and models at The Boardroom to create a truly magical day of glittery fun!

She was polite, kind, and just a joy to work with in every way. She is extremely talented and turned me into a snowqueen/princess for the day. She worked incredibly hard to create each look and the makeup just looked amazing. I was blown away by how I looked and I didn't want to take it off, it just looked perfect. She really made my dreams come true. I had been wanting to work with her for so long and it was exceeded my expectations and made me a very happy model.

I was also blown away by the outfits she brought with her. So many different things we could use, different head pieces and items. It just added to the fun of the day.

I loved working with her and I really hope we get to work together again. Thanks so much for working so hard and for making my dreams come true. You are amazing x

I am so HONOURED to have finally had the chance to work with this absolutely insanely talented lady over here and get my face painted by her on a shoot at the boardroom studio!

From the get go, Kris came super prepared, kitted out with 2 makeup boxes, bags full of incredible head pieces, corsets, fabrics, the lot!

Kris is incredible at what she does, she applies such a gentle touch and explains every step throughout the process. I never once felt uncomfortable and knew exactly what products were being used, what look she was aiming to achieve and overall the communication was just bang on, fabulous.

I was so impressed with the makeup, needless to say, as a lil bit of an abstract queen of hearts, I felt v sassy!

Working with this lady was an absolute dream, and I would so recommend her to absolutely anybody. Glitter kweeeen!

10/10, definitely would LOVE to work with again!

Kristina was the makeup artist on a Bowie inspired shoot at the weekend. She was amazing, one of the best I have worked with and I have worked with a lot of MUAs over the years. Kristina was also super fun to work with and have along on the shoot. Would love to work with her again, 100% recommended.

Arrived at the studio and sister of sinister was ready to go. Greated by a warm welcome, and excited to get going. Kristina is very professional and extremely creative and talented. I enjoy working with her, and woukd recommended her to everyone I know. The photos I've got back so far are amazing and get big loves from a lot of people.

I absolutely love working with Kristina. I have worked with her on more the one occasion. Shes kirky, and so fun to work with. She is very creative, and definitely knows what she is doing. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Would recommend her 100%

WOW!!! What a woman Kristina is! A lady of many talents, a model, a stylist, a photographer and of course a phenomenal Mua!! If you like glitter, this is your lady! She owns it like no other!! I was booked for a shoot with her and Simmes himself and I instantly knew the shoot was going to be a gooden but I just didn’t know it would be THIS good! I had a blast, literally one of my best creative days with them both. From start to finish there was laughs, silly talk and a whole heap of creativity. Starting with edgy fashion through to a glitter explosion! Messy is an understatement but I wouldn’t change a thing about the day. Kristina is so warm hearted and so easy to get on with and I hope to have the pleasure of creating more magic with her again in the future. She gets the highest of recommendations from me, until the next time girl..... xxx

Another great glitter workshop thanks to the incredible makeup skills from Haus of Sinister. This is the second glitter workshop we have run with Kristina and both have been highly successful delivering some incredible looks that really gave the photographers attending something a little bit special.

Thanks for making it such a great workshop and for the amazing looks. Highly recommended!

Have had the pleasure of attending 3 shoots now with Kristina as the makeup artist and one as the model.

her make up skills are amazing and she works tirelessly getting the models ready for their shoots. the attention to details is amazing, loved watching her work.

Again as a model she works tirelessly to get you the image you want and just non stop with posses and ideas too.

Cant wait to work with her again.

I love this woman SO much. Kristina hosted a studio day at Studio Visage and I was so excited to see her again. She literally makes the day. She is the life and soul of every project and she puts her all into it. She is incredibly talented in every field and I will never not be impressed with the work that she produces ♥

I’ve been following the work of Kris for as long as I’ve been on PP - her work as both a model and a MUA needs no introduction - it is really distinctive. So it was a long overdue pleasure that I finally had an opportunity to shoot with her at her small but perfectly formed studio in Folkestone. So many headpieces, props and looks to choose from and she even had her beautiful dog, Lala, a Northern Inuit, for me to shoot too.

Needless to say her makeup was impeccable - I opted for one of her more subtle looks rather than the glitter which is her hallmark. You know the makeup is good when you don’t have to do any editing to the skin! And her posing was spot on too - very dramatic and theatrical, as was called for given the themes.

All in all, it was a brilliant first shoot and there is no doubt in my mind that I will be working with her again in some capacity!

Kris was the make-up artist on a glitter workshop arranged by photographer Salli Gainsford. I was lucky enough to have a place as a model.

Kris was warm, friendly, incredibly interesting - and she made being “glittered up” a really rather lovely experience.

Her work is not only stunning, but also achingly beautiful - and it was an honour to be part of the experience.

Absolutely recommend!!

And yes, glitter really does get everywhere....and in places where you have probably never had glitter before!

I have wanted to work with Kris for the longest time now so I’ve been so excited on the lead up to our shoot. On finally meeting she was just as awesome as I had suspected, chatty like me, warm and a great laugh.

I shot over to Folkestone for the day to work on a couple of themes with Kris at Studio Visage. Kris did my makeup on 2 wonderful looks, one being her now trademark glitter themes which I am still beaming about. Kris gives great direction and enthusiasm through the shoot which results in some wonderful photos. I am absolutely over here the moon and would highly recommend working with this amazing lady if you get the chance 🖤

"I had a fantastic shoot with Sister of Sinister! Pre-shoot communications were excellent and I knew what to expect. I was so excited to finally be 'glittered' by this phenomenal makeup artist and photographer! A lovely person and excellent at her many crafts; I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to others. Thank you Sister of Sinister for an unforgettable experience! Elle"

I worked with Simes Himself today and Kristina at Kristinas studio in Folkestone. 
An epic day indeed. We started off with one look and got stuck in to great conversations from the offset. We then moved on to two other looks in the day and all were of such quality. 

Kristinas make up skills are insane.

This talented lady has a true gift of creativity. She puts brush upon face and just creates magic, it literally flows out of her mind and through the brush. I was very impressed. Marry that together with a loving heart, a great attitude and a fabulous work ethic, you have a dynamite make up artist, but more so, great company.



I really can’t wait to work with her again and recommend everyone else do the same!

Many thanks,

Wow wow and wow...! Worked with Sister of Sinister at studio Visage with Kelly Hathaway, just blown away by Sister of Sinister's creative skills, highly original and professional one of the best thoroughly recommended!

I have long admired the stunning and originally creative makeup skills of Sister of Sinister and I finally got the chance to shoot with Kristina at Studio Visage. Kristina's pre communications were excellent and I was welcomed to the studio by Dom of Studio Visage who was super helpful and on hand to assist with the various lighting setups.

Kristina was a real joy to work with, her passion for modelling and makeup (Haus of Sinister) shines through, as does her creative side with the amazing headpieces and custom jewellery she makes.

We got some great shots, had a good chat and the time just flew by. Very much looking forward to editing the shots and sharing them here!

If you want unique out of this world concepts then look no further! I'd be delighted to work with Kristina again.

Highly recommended!!!

Simes Himself

To my utter disgust Kristina informed me yesterday that'd I'd "forgotten" to leave references on my last few visits to see her. SOOORRRRRRYYY!!! Hopefully I will make amends here!

SO! Let's go back to last July. I'd known Kris for a while, and decided to finally take her up on the offer of shooting at her place - Studio Visage in Folkestone. I'd roped in the rather fab Ellis May for a shoot, and instructed Kris to "do her worst"...but if any of you know Kris, her "worst" is pretty spectacular! During our day there, and in the hope of getting me out of a little creative-rut at the time, she proceeded to create three knockout looks...for one of which we earned a little gold rosette from PP. Mission accomplished!

I next paid her a visit in August with my great friend Arabella...and my "photo wife" Oh Look it's Nemo. Both ladies already knew of "The Wonder That Is Kristina", while she in return was...in her own words "dying to put her brushes on their faces"! What transpired was nothing short of phenomenal...and I really need to edit more shots from that day, but that adventure earned Nemo and myself our first joint online magazine publication!

And now YESTERDAY! This time, with little persuasion needed, I invited the cracking Alexandra Frances McCue down to Kent with me to work with us both...and obviously mayhem ensued! You know when you have an idea in your head, and think that would be an amazing shot? Well, we did that...it looked great, and then went and shot something even better! Yet another successful adventure!

In the time I've known Kris, she has managed to blow my mind with her skill and talent EVERY SINGLE TIME we meet up. She's my "go to" MUA, her attention to detail is second to none, the quality of her work takes your breath away...and on top of that she's absolute nutjob, and I love her to bits! Whenever we work together, our styles somehow mystically align and we knock one(or six)out of the park. If I have an idea that "surely can't be done"...she'll go and prove me wrong. I'm extremely fortunate enough to have her around, and lucky enough to call her a great friend.

100% HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

(Kris...please take the gun away from my head now!!)

i had the best day so far along my journey into photography, i have worked with Kristina before using her both as a model and also a MUA, today she was doing make up for the lovely model Hurley, her talents know no bounds, the shots we achieved were definitely a team effort but have taken my portfolio to the next level, we shot at Studio Visage and Dom was on hand to help out with all of the lighting i will certainly recommend Haus of Sinister for all of your studio needs whether its a photographer, MUA or Model.
