Hi, I’m Karla—a professional makeup artist with 8 years of experience in the glamour and matric dance industry. My journey with makeup began while studying Dance, where I learned stage makeup techniques using shadows for contouring and lighting for concealing. From that moment, I fell in love with the transformative power of makeup.

What truly fuels my passion is seeing women's faces light up when they realize what they can achieve with the right products and skills. I’ve had the honor of working with Opulent Model SA, South Africa’s #1 modeling search competition, where I perfected my craft in high-glam looks. But beyond the world of runway and events, my mission is to help everyday women feel confident and beautiful—quickly and effortlessly.

I created Beautistry because I believe that makeup should be easy, accessible, and tailored to fit your busy life. There are many talented makeup artists offering workshops and masterclasses, but I wanted to take it a step further—providing interactive, step-by-step guidance through live Zoom sessions. This way, you don’t just watch—you practice, ask questions, and truly master the skills that once felt impossible.

My goal is to teach you not just how to apply makeup, but also why we use certain products and tools—so you can confidently create looks that enhance your natural beauty. Whether you’re struggling with blending, choosing the right foundation, or perfecting that tricky eyeliner, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

When I’m not teaching or creating glam makeup looks, I love being a wife and mom, knowing I’m fulfilling my God-given talent. And if you’re wondering—yes, I cannot live without my setting powder!
