Bella Glow Beauty Studio

I just had my bridal makeup trial with Krista and she was amazing! She was very down to earth and kind, making me feel super comfortable! She did my makeup EXACTLY how I was invisioning it to turn out. I was so happy with my trial and feel excited and confident in her skills for my upcoming wedding! Highly recommend!

Krista is the best!! I started seeing her months before my wedding for facials, eye brow waxing, dermaplaning. She made me feel so comfortable from the beginning and took the time to learn exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. Things went great for my trial day and she made me look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! She also took such good care of my mom, who was anxious about getting her makeup done as she doesn’t usually wear makeup. She let my mom come get her makeup done prior to the wedding and on the day of, my mom looked so natural and gorgeous. Would deffo recommend Krista for your wedding day and your pre wedding beauty needs!

Krista, along with her amazing assistant Jenna, did makeup for me and my 8 bridesmaids + mom for my May 2024 wedding in Petaluma! From the first time I met her for my makeup trial at her studio, she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed! The makeup she and Jenna did on the big day was so stunning and beautiful and made us all feel so amazing! She was nothing short of professional, punctual, kind and easy going! I feel like she and Jenna captured what each individual girl envisioned for their makeup in the best way! I cannot recommend her and her business enough any type of event!!! She is the best!

Krista was an absolutely fantastic makeup artist for both myself and my wife, along with our wedding party. My wife and I were extremely nervous for the makeup portion of our wedding before meeting Krista. I love makeup and love doing my own, but have never had a good experience with getting my makeup professionally done. My wife on the other hand does not typically wear makeup, so she was very nervous she wouldn't look like herself. After each of our trials, we knew instantly that we found the best fit with Krista. She was attentive and executed exactly what we were both looking for. We felt the most beautiful we've ever felt, but also looked like ourselves. And we got SO many compliments! Both of our moms and sisters equally loved Krista - they still rave about how wonderful she was to work with and how beautiful they felt. Also, Krista gave me and my sister-in-law a bridal spray tan before the wedding and it was PERFECT! I'm typically very pale, so it was nice to have that extra glow without looking too tan. 1000% recommend Krista - she's an expert and the best! She'll bring your vision to life wonderfully! I hope we can find another way to work together again soon!

Our experience with Krista was absolutely outstanding! The bridal party's makeup looked phenomenal, and we all received so many compliments throughout the day. I don't usually wear a ton of makeup, and she did exactly what I had envisioned while making it look so natural yet elevated. Krista was also a joy to work with and made getting ready a blast. I couldn't recommend her enough. She is the BEST!

Oh my gosh Krista is amazing. She understands the assignment. I was very nervous about not doing a trial before booking her (I had already spent money doing a trial with a different artist that I didn’t like) but I collected photos of her work that I loved and asked her to do something for my skin tone and girl did she deliver! Every time I see my wedding photos, no kidding, I keep saying “Man my makeup looked so good” So good that I’ve recommended her to my other girlfriends that are looking for makeup artists! You’ll really look and feel just so gorgeous.

I highly recommend Krista from Bella Glow Beauty Studio for your wedding makeup! Wedding makeup is an entirely different ball game and she KNOWS how to get the job done! I was so impressed with how my makeup looked both in person and on film. It also lasted the entire day and into the night despite me crying (happy tears) all the way through! Krista while being very timely and professional, is also sweet, genuine, and approachable. She even took extra time to include my mom, Anne in my makeup trial and made her feel so special. My bridesmaids and I had the best time bopping to Miracles Happen by Myra with her on the morning of my wedding. We were all so relaxed and happy, and I know they loved their makeup looks as well. The photos speak for themselves! We love you Krista!!!

Everything about my experience with Krista was amazing! She’s the absolute best at what she does! All my bridesmaids looked beautiful and I’m so happy with how my makeup turned out! I gave her full reigns of my look and it turned out amazing!

Krista was amazing to work with for my wedding! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, responsive and kind. She made me and all the ladies in my bridal party feel so beautiful, and her calming presence put everyone at ease. I also went to her for a spray tan a few days before and it turned out great - and lasted a long time! I was nervous because there were a lot of tears on my wedding day, but the makeup stayed perfect the entire night. 10/10!

Krista is the real deal! Her tanning and makeup services are absolutely beautiful, not to mention she is professional, communicative, and the enthusiastic yet calm force you need on your wedding day. Her style elevates your natural beauty while adding just a touch of glam. The look lasts through it all from regular wear to eating, dancing, and of course those sneaky tears. Thank you Krista for being the best!

Hiring Krista was one of the best wedding decisions I made! All the other times I’ve had my makeup done, I didn’t feel like myself. Krista did my makeup so beautifully in a way where I still felt like myself so I was comfortable at my wedding. She also did all my bridesmaids and they looked amazing!! Everyone’s makeup lasted all day and night without issues. Definitely hire her!

Krista did wedding day makeup for me and my bridal party. Everyone loved their look and said it felt personalized for them. I loved that my makeup looked natural and glam at the same time. Krista also did my spray tans for my bachelorette and wedding. The tan faded gradually and evenly so it always looked good. Highly recommend!

Krista, owner of Bella Glow Beauty Studio, is so talented! She did mine and my bridesmaids’ makeup for my wedding in June and I can’t recommend her enough! She listened to what I wanted and made sure that I was satisfied with the end result. She has great attention to detail and the end result was exactly what I had dreamed of! Krista is very talented and her work does not disappoint! All of my bridesmaids were also in love with their makeup! Krista also does amazing spray tans on top of being a talented makeup artist! Thank you for making my makeup and tan dreams come true on my special day Krista, you’re amazing!

Cannot say enough amazing things about Bella Glow Beauty Studio! I was a COVID bride and had my makeup artist booked for nearly 2 years who ended up cancelling on me a couple months before the wedding. I thought there would be no way I could find someone available for my summer wedding who’s work I actually liked! After looking through literally hundreds of makeup artists pages I finally stumbled upon Krista! Her work is absolutely gorgeous and everything I was looking for AND I couldn’t believe it but she was available for my date. I cried happy tears. My maid of honor and I were able to book a spray tan with her the week of the wedding and both agreed it was hands down the best spray tan we’d ever gotten! It lasted through my honeymoon the following week! Getting ready on the big day with Krista and her second artist Teresa was perfection all the way around! Not only were they prompt and joyful to have in the bridal cottage with us while we were getting ready but everyone looked amazing!! I’ve been in a lot of weddings and there are usually at least 1-2 girls not happy with their makeup and that was not the case out of the 12 girls they did. Everyone loved their makeup and looked HOT! I was in school and had quite a full plate leading up to the wedding so never booked a bridal trial and my wedding day makeup was better than I could have dreamed! Bronzed soft glam was on point! Highly recommend Bella Glow Beauty Studio and forever grateful to have found Krista for my big day!

Krista is absolutely incredible! From the trial to the wedding day, she was a dream to work with. She took all of my inspiration pictures and turned them into the most perfect, natural, bridal makeup! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day thanks to Krista and I cannot thank her enough for her responsiveness, stress-free planning, and amazing work. My bridal party, mom, and I felt amazing on the wedding day and we are so thankful for Krista!

Krista was hands down the best makeup artist for my wedding! I knew from my makeup trial that she would be the perfect fit. She was punctual, efficient, so kind and genuine. She was absolutely incredible for my wedding day. I have never felt so beautiful in my life. She also managed to do my entire bridal party of nine girls, I was so impressed. Everyone's makeup looked flawless!! Look no further and hire Krista!

Krista was absolutely amazing! She did myself, the bride, 3 bridesmaids and 2 moms. And every single girl was amazed but how perfect their makeup was. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Krista did my makeup for my wedding along with my bridesmaids and my mom. Let me start out by saying she is such a kind, sweet soul. She did the absolute best work. Everyone was truly obsessed and in love! I truly felt soo beautiful and my skin has never looked better. She even gave me a touch up bag with makeup and blotting pads for the rest of the night, it was truly incredible. I will recommend her to everyone! She’s amazing! 💗

Krista was the best makeup artist I could have ever asked for my wedding! She did my makeup, my bridesmaids and my moms makeup. She made us all feel so beautiful. All of my bridesmaids and I were obsessed! I had a trial with Krista before the wedding and she was able to perfect the exact look I was going for. Krista goes the extra mile and I just felt so comfortable with her as my makeup artist on the most important day of my life. I was told by so many guests at my wedding how impressed they were with my makeup. I have never felt more beautiful thanks to Krista!

Krista was amazing! She made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful. I am so grateful I found her for my special day :)

Krista was an absolute dream to work with and she went above and beyond to ensure that I looked and felt gorgeous for my wedding day! I was so happy with her services and she is truly such a sweet and kind person. I highly recommend her!

Krista was beyond amazing! During my trial, she made me feel so comfortable and heard. I didn’t want too much on my face, but I wanted it to look like I was wearing makeup, and I wanted it to last me all night! The day of my wedding, she was so calming and helpful, and kept me laughing and spirits high! I could not be happier with how my makeup turned out and the experience that I had with Krista! My makeup lasted me all night AND IT RAINED!! If you’re contemplating using Krista for your big day, DO IT!!! I’m forever grateful for her.

Krista was absolutely amazing for my wedding day. She did my makeup as well as my 6 bridesmaids. She is incredibly talented and made me feel absolutely flawless for my big day. She was so professional and efficient. My bridesmaids and I have nothing but the best things to say about her. Krista is an absolute must for your wedding day!!

Krista was incredible! I went to her studio for my wedding make up trial and I couldn't have been happier with the look she created for my wedding day. I gave her an inspiration photo, which was basically "natural glam," and she executed it flawlessly. When I looked in the mirror, I told her my exact thoughts: "This is exactly how I do my make up when I go out - except a billion times better, because it's perfect." Fast forward to the real deal: Krista did my make up on the actual wedding day JUST the way she did during the trial, AMAZING, along with six of my bridesmaids. She was punctual (arrived early), professional, and very kind. All of my bridesmaids were crazy about her and they really looked so, so beautiful. Krista, thank you for making my bridesmaids and I feel like goddesses on my wedding day. It's a day we'll never forget. Consider yourself extremely lucky if Krista is available on your special day. She's a great communicator (always quickly responsive via email, took time to call me ahead of the wedding day to discuss wedding day timeline etc) and very talented at what she does. When planning your wedding day, having vendors who you know you can depend on makes a world of difference. Put your mind at ease and book Bella Glow :)

Krista was absolutely the best makeup artist I could have chosen for our big day! She was so sweet, fun and made me and my bridesmaids feel totally calm day-of. My makeup was PERFECT and so was my mom's and my bridesmaids. So natural but special and I felt like a total princess and the most beautiful bride. I loved working with her and would highly recommend to anyone who is getting married or has an event in the area. She is amazing. She also did my spray tan which looked so natural and turned out great! Thank you Krista for making me feel so confident and beautiful on my special day!

From the moment I met Krista, owner of Bella Glow Beauty Studio. I knew that I had made the best decision. She was sweet, fun, & all around amazing. We talked the entire time during my trial and she made me feel like I was with someone I had known forever. I knew that Krista’s work was amazing & beautiful but what I didn’t know was how beautiful she would make me feel. I wear makeup everyday, but I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. A wedding is very stressful but thanks to Krista the minute I sat in her chair, my stress went away.

My wedding truly was the “best day ever” and Krista from Bella Glow played a huge part in making my day so special. From the beginning she took an active interest in what I wanted my wedding day look to be and even was flexible with changing the look after our wedding was moved three times due to Covid. Krista’s work is stunning! Her makeup skills have a wide range and can complete the desired look you’re going for on your big day. I know this because I went from classic bridal look for my first trial and then glam for my wedding day! Both were gorgeous! The best part was she was really supportive regarding all the changes made during Covid. I was so comfortable working with her because she cares very much about her clients and making sure they look and feel beautiful! Now let’s talk spray tan! Krista did an amazing job on me! I looked very healthy and glowed on my wedding day! No streaks, no orange and no weird color differences on my body. Perfectly even! I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist!!! ❤️❤️

I could not recommend Krista enough to be your makeup artist on your wedding day! She was so communicative throughout the process and her rates were very reasonable compared to similar options in the area. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed while doing my makeup at my hotel for my elopement. The final look was stunning and stayed on with no problem for the rest of the afternoon and evening. I was so sad to wash off my makeup at the end of the night! I would definitely try to book Bella Glow for makeup for any future events I have in Sonoma.

Loved working with Krista! She made sure she was early and brought her entire set up including lighting. I was concerned the hotel room was too dark for it but she brought her light which made all the difference. Make up lasted all day long for my wedding. It was perfect! She even made sure to get my mom and flower girl all done up during my first look which helped keep to our timeline.

Krista is INCREDIBLE. I am an incredibly insecure person and when I tell you I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. I found Krista and instantly connected with her warm personality. My makeup trial with her was flawless and I knew she needed to do my wedding makeup. In March, when the pandemic hit, we were forced to reschedule our May wedding, and then reschedule AGAIN, and then ultimately cancelling our big wedding in Sonoma County and opting for an elopement at home. I was distraught about not getting to wear my dress, so I coordinated a wedding portrait session and when I reached out to Krista, she was more than willing to be part of it. KRISTA. SLAYED. My makeup looked flawless, stayed flawless and she brought the mother effing GLAM. I will look back on our photos and truly feel like the beautiful bride I have wanted to be all of 2020. Thank you thank you THANK YOU Krista, from the bottom of my heart. If you are getting married in Sonoma County, Napa, anywhere in NorCal, Krista is the best there is.

Krista is amazing! She is a very talented makeup artist, with an awesome personality to boot. Bella Glow Studios was the perfect vendor for our wedding! I’ve never felt so beautiful or supported by an awesome girl gang, then I did on my wedding day. Thank you Krista! She listened during my makeup trial, was super accommodating on the big day and she nailed the looks of not only me, but of my 11 other ladies (bridesmaids, moms, g-mas and flower girls.) I felt like Krista went above and beyond to make sure I was supported and that everything ran smoothly on the big day. There was one point when there were a million people talking to me when I was getting my makeup done and she was able to shoo them all away, so I could have a moment of peace. I don’t think she knows how much that moment meant to me, but it was everything. If you’re getting married in the Marin / Sonoma / Napa area – def hire Bella Glow Studio for your makeup needs. Oh and her spray tanning abilities are unrivaled. If you do hire Krista for your big day, please make sure you also book her for your spray tan. I was the perfect mix of tan and glow-y without being oompa Loompa orange. Love Bella Glow Studios!

HUGELY DISAPPOINTED... I was suppose to be getting married this weekend. Due to the Pandemic Krista cannot perform her services. My family is from Canada and we do not know when we will be allowed to have our wedding due to the Canadian border being closed. I asked her for my deposit back that I left to hold the date and to pay for 11 bridesmaids make-up. She told me she cannot give me my money back because she has a no cancel policy even though she cannot perform the services and, in fact, did cancel. She is the only vendor out of ALL of our vendors to not return deposits during this time. This experience left a sour taste in my mouth. When we have the opportunity to finally have our wedding I would not want to work with someone so greedy. I own a small business and like all businesses during the pandemic we have suffered.  Even her business partner Kendra who does hair returned our deposit without question. Sometimes being a good person and being great to work with is more important than the service itself on your big  day. I just wanted to leave this as a warning for all brides considering working with her at this time. She cancelled no more, no less than me.

AHHHH-MAZING! Krista did my makeup and spray tan for my wedding and she surpassed my expectations to make me look and feel like a princess on my wedding day. We planned our wedding from afar and Krista was there every step of the way guiding me through and making sure I would look my absolute perfect. And I did! She dedicated Thursday night (staying late) to do my spray tan once we arrived in Sonoma and devoted Friday and Saturday for makeup for both the rehearsal and wedding. Everyone raved about my makeup both events. On top of that, Krista was able to save the day when my hair stylist cancelled on me Friday before the wedding and left me hanging. Krista immediately jumped in to the rescue and called everyone she knew to help in the emergency. Turns out, the hair stylist who she found was also aGEM and together they made my day PERFECT!!! Thank you Krista for your professionalism, your talent and your dedication to your clients. You are the best!

I cannot recommend Bella Glow Beauty enough! Krista was incredibly professional from the moment I reached out to her until after the wedding. During the trial she understood my vision and my makeup was exactly what I was looking for. Somehow it was even better on the day of my wedding! On my wedding day, she managed to do makeup for nine of us (me, six bridesmaids and two moms), and was even ahead of schedule! Most of the girls said their makeup was the best they'd ever had professionally done! For a small fee, Krista even stuck around to help touch up my makeup after first looks with my dad and groom. Krista's sweet and professional demeanor was exactly what I was looking for and helped keep the day incredibly low-stress and fun. 5+ stars!

Krista is amazing! I am so happy I chose her to do my wedding makeup. She is super quick, efficient and my makeup stayed on all day into the night. I did my makeup trial for my engagement party and received so many compliments. I highly recommend Krista for a stress free day and beautiful makeup!

Let me start by saying how amazing Krista is! I was lucky enough to have her do my spray tan and makeup for the big day. My makeup looked flawless and my spray tan stayed on throughout my entire honeymoon without fading. Krista was fantastic to work with, and went above and beyond to help me achieve the look I was going for. She truly made my vision come to life. I can't recommend her enough to any bride out there looking for a makeup artist. You will not be disappointed!

Krista was amazing during the trial and the day of! The make-up was done perfectly and lasted the entire night. She also did all six of my bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and great aunt all in a timely manner and there was no rush at all! She made everything so easy and enjoyable for the day of the wedding!

Seriously, Krista (the owner) is freaking amazing! She created beautiful looks for my bridesmaids, mother in law, my mother, and myself ( the bride). She is so professional, responsive and incredibly sweet! I felt the pressure of the day melt away with how calm she is- I felt most relaxed when I was getting my makeup done! Absolutely one of the best decisions I made for my wedding was choosing Bella Glow Beauty Studio for my wedding makeup- she made sure my look was exactly what I wanted!

Krista was absolutely amazing leading up and on my wedding day! She is so talented and amazing at what she does. At the makeup trial she mastered exactly what I told her I wanted! On my wedding day she made me feel special and beautiful! My makeup was a huge deal to me and I wanted it to be perfect- Krista went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect!!

Krista did a fantastic job for me and my bridesmaids and I cannot recommend her enough!! She listened thoughtfully to what all of the bridesmaids wanted and then executed flawlessy. Thank you again!

Krista is amazing...she made my face and my bridesmaid the perfect make up, and even through our rainy wedding, my make up and hair (blonde Hive- Kendra is incredible too and you should book them together when you can) stayed on point. Weddings are a lot of work and its refreshing to work w/ vendors who are professional, patient, and present. KRISTA/BELLA GLOW BEAUTY STUDIO IS ALL THAT AND MORE. She listened to our input and had a great energy. you will not be disappointed w/ this stellar team. :) Thank you, The Gonnella's

Krista and Kendra are best! Not only did they make my hair and makeup vision come to life, they kept us all on time, which is not an easy task with 6 bridesmaids! I felt so comfortable with them and I loved the way my hair and makeup turned out. My makeup was flawless all night and my hair stayed perfect even after taking my veil on and off several times. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to be part of such an special day. Thank you for everything!

A wonderful experience with Krista from Bella Glow! She was easy to work with and a pleasure to have the day of the wedding. Kept to the timeline and made the day stress free. Oh and my makeup looked AMAZING! She was able to take my feedback and update my look to be exactly what I wanted.

I was in a wedding in Napa, and it was the most beautiful makeup I've had! The fake eyelashes weren't too much, and my face looked flawless!:)

We decided to have a destination wedding and I was having a really hard time finding a group to do our hair and makeup. I was even more anxious because I've heard horror stories about hair & makeup trials gone awry. I stumbled across Bella Glow Beauty Studio from the Knot and reached out immediately. Krista responded immediately and didn't even blink when I told her how big our bridal party was. She made all of the accommodations to have a full team ready to go for our day. I was able to schedule a hair & makeup trial a few days prior to our wedding when we made it to California. Krista and Kendra were very welcoming and personable. I showed them ideas from my pinterest page for hair and makeup. They executed it perfectly! One of my sisters was upset about her hairstyle hours after it was completed and had a ridiculous dramatic meltdown. Kendra was very accommodating and re-styled her hair without a fight even though I thought it looked just fine. They were very professional and did a fabulous job!
