We had the good fortune of connecting with Kraig B and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kraig, what do you attribute your success to?
My daughter definitely is the main factor behind my success. I have to pave the way for her a great future.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My creativity stems from my love for colors and and art. I’m a very thorough and precise artist. Sometimes maybe even a perfectionist, but that’s how I became a MUA. The road definitely wasn’t easy I gave up at least twice, but something always brought me back. I stayed consistent this time around and it paid off. Along the way, I learned that your clientele and your biggest supporters a lot of the time are people you don’t know. There is something about new clients and people you never met before, they have a fresh view of your artistry and appreciate you for your talent. I named my brand “Glam Goals” for all the people that wake up everyday and beauty is there goal. Whether it’s using a skincare routine , or applying makeup we all have our own “Glam Goal”.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would definitely take them to Atlanta belt line, McCormicks for dinner and Edgewood to bar hop. These are places people that are visiting Atlanta have to see! For some shopping we will have to do Lenox mall of course, maybe toast at Lenox for brunch, Andretti’s and midtown bowl, for day fun ,by night Peter street or Edgewood.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Whenever I think of my success, I think of my mentor and good friend Lola. Not only did she give me business advice, but she allowed me to join her suite at Cut Creaters ATL. So I can build my platform. No matter how much I doubted myself because I was new to the industry she assured me that my work is worth every penny that I’m working for and that I am valuable in the make up industry.
