Breann Garcia of Fort Worth, Texas, is best known for her upstyling and bridal updos but she can also crush a makeup finish. Perhaps it’s because she’s a CrossFit junkie who can do a handstand push-up (really), but this stylist can whip up an award-winning style in just 10-minutes flat! She says she loves Instagram because it keeps her on her game, always finding new inspiration.

Hidden talent: I can whip up an updo in 10 minutes, and I can also do makeup really well
Fun fact: I’m a CrossFit junkie. I can do a handstand push up.
