About Chrisspy:

Christina, aka Chrisspy, is the second-youngest of four children, raised on non-sugar cereals and 2% milk, in a home chock full of bluster and strong opinion. Displaying a penchant for the artistic from an early age, in order to make her voice heard, she learned to be concise, bold, and avant-garde. After working for MAC cosmetics in San Francisco, she moved to Los Angeles, earned a bachelor’s degree from UCLA, and began posting pictures online to showcase her make-up techniques under the name, Chrisspy. She hopes to curry favor and influence friends, but more importantly, she hopes to empower women with the tools to look their best! Check out her website HERE and find her @Chrisspy on Youtube, Tik-Tok, and Instagram.

“I didn’t feel comfortable acting as a reality star in certain ways. It felt performative and it robbed me of so many experiences because I always was gauging is this shareable, how is the audience going to like this, instead of just living it.” – Chrisspy
