Christa graduated at the old Pretoria Technikon in Theater Crafts, & became a make-up artist almost by accident. Now 16 fabulous years later she is still a make-up, hair & SFX artist in the movie industry.
She has worked on stills shoots, doing make-up for billboards & magazine ads with honeys such as Tanit Phoenix, Christina Storm & countless other beauties. She’s worked in television & has done more commercials than she can count.

Christa's first love will always be movies. “Working on movies has taken me to incredible places & introduced me to some of the most beautiful, famous & interesting people, such as Nicholas Cage, Eamonn Walker, Catherine Bell, Sir Ian Holmes...”
In her privileged career she’s worked on movies such as 10 000BC, Triangle & Lord of War as well as smaller local movies such as Richardt van den Berg’s (director of Faith like Potatoes) latest movie Tornado & the Kalahari Horse Whisperer. What an honour that was. After years of a very fulfilling, exciting & successful film career, it was time to expand and grow again. Hence, U B .beautiful.
Fancy dress is her first love, especially taking the not so ordinary person & for one evening turning him or her into their fantasy! Christa specializes in her body painting, temporary tattoo’s & OTT Glamour. Her views on make-up are: ”Trust me girls … We ALL look better with a little bit of make-up, even the gorgeous super models. But it’s essential to do it right. It’s what makes the difference between wearing mascara & looking like a star.”

"So come on… U B our Star, U B .beautiful."

Simone is a very happy, fun loving earth Goddess. From the moment U meet her U’ll feel a sense of comfort, calm & professionalism.

After traveling extensively through Europe & Australasia after matric, Simone settled in London where she worked & studied to achieve her BTEC Diploma in Make-up Design. Her vision was always to return to Cape Town & make her mark on the local film industry. She never dreamt she would work with companies such as Universal, Warner Bros., Walt Disney and Columbia Pictures!

In the 10 years Simone has been back in South Africa, she has worked on films like Invictus, 10 000 BC, Doomsday, Last House on the Left, Poseidon Adventure, Flashbacks of a Fool, Scorpion King, Young Black Stallion, E.R., No1 Lady Detectives Agency, to name a few.
She has worked with local & international Stars such as Clint Eastwood (director), Daniel Craig, Monica Potter, Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls), Gabrielle Anwar (Scent of a Woman), Caprice, Bryan Brown, C. Thomas Howell…
Simone has always believed that the greatest Quality a person can have is Self Belief. “When U believe in your own character & talents, U teach the world how to see U… & in turn how to treat U. Like-minded people begin to surround U with their visions & ideas for their futures … & before U know it, you’re off on an amazing journey. Inspiration on your own is a wonderful thing, Inspiration in a group is Magical. There is no telling where the vision can lead!”

“The Greatest gifts we can give to Ourselves, is Love, Respect & Belief …”
