"Who" is D'vine Beauty?

Christal Allpress-Jenkins is the owner/operator of D'vine Beauty.

When not working in in her clinic in the beautiful portside town of Koputai/Port Chalmers, Christal lectures on the New Zealand Certificate in Beauty Therapy programme at Otago Polytechnic.

A former student of Aoraki Polytechnic Dunedin, she completed her Certificate in Beauty Therapy in 2014 also attaining Student Of The Year.

Since then Christal has worked within the beauty industry, and owned her own business, D'vine Beauty, formerly out of Clip Joint Hairdressing from 2016 - 2018.

Christal has been an accomplished freelance makeup artist since 2009, with many exciting opportunities both locally and abroad.

Too shy to pursue her musical theatre ambitions on stage, Christal has been working behind the scenes in recent years, leading makeup teams for Musical Theatre Dunedin and Taieri Musical stage productions, gaining multiple awards.

Christal is proud to facilitate skincare and makeup workshops in Otago and Southland for Look Good Feel Better, for women undergoing cancer treatment.

"I am passionate about the beauty industry and have a love of learning and teaching. I want to share my knowledge with others to help people feel good about themselves"
