Beauty Bar by Kristina Ruggerio

Kristina does amazing makeup. I knew from my prom makeup she would do my wedding as well. My makeup was breathtaking and shes so sweet and easy to work with.

If I could give Beauty Bar 10 out of 5 stars I would! Cannot say enough good things about their bridal glam squad, facials with Eva, and in general haircuts and services here! I recently got married and had fabulous experience working with the salon. Melissa did an AMAZING job on my hair and my bridesmaids, mom and godmother. Julia did my makeup and was fantastic! This is the number one bridal glam team in Delaware for a reason and it would be silly to use anyone else for your big day or facials leading up to it!

I have sooo many amazing things I could say about Kristina and her team, but she already knows how much I adore her! I have known Kristina for quite some time and have used her for every formal event I’ve attended, but having her do my makeup for my wedding day along with 9 other girls takes the cake. They all looked stunning and I can’t wait to use her for future events! Thank You so much Kristina! <3 -Jackie O’Neill

Kristina and her team were absolute all stars for our wedding. Their talent in hair and makeup is unmatched and speaks for itself! Their coordination, speed, and planning helped them do hair and makeup for 10 + girls. I cannot thank the team enough for making me feel absolutely on top of the world!

Kristina and Erika did our wedding party’s makeup for the big day! Both did an AMAZING job and were able to make all 10 of us look and feel beautiful. They were able to listen and adjust to different requests/preferences with no problem. Aside from the day of, communication with Kristina and her whole team was great. My emails were always answered promptly and professionally. In the Beauty Bar, my mom, MOH and I received the best trials, recommendations, and customer service- we were not rushed and even treated to mimosas! My mom and I can’t wait for an excuse to see Kristina and her team again!

Erica from Kristina’s team did makeup for me and all of my girls! She did a fabulous job and was super friendly. I would recommend Kristina’s team to anyone looking! They are amazing!!

Julia Downes is amazing! She did makeup for me, my mom, and my four bridesmaids and we all looked gorgeous. She was so nice and personable and made sure to cater to each of our specific skin types. After my bridal trial I reached out to her with a few things that I noticed about my makeup by the end of the day, and she was able to make adjustments and my makeup stayed looking perfect for my whole wedding. My whole wedding party couldn’t stop talking about how good they looked, we all felt amazing!

Kristina Ruggerio and Julia Downes are AMAZING talent. These two ladies did my engagement photos (Julia), bridal shower (Kristina), and wedding (Kristina). Every time my makeup was done by an artist with Kristina Ruggerio Cosmetics my makeup was FLAWLESS. Also, working with Renee both via email and day of was SUCH a pleasure. Living far away while planning a wedding can be challenging, but Renee and Kristina made me feel confident and in great hands every step of the way. Despite the many facials, treatments, and skin care regimen my dermatologist put me on for over a year leading up to the big day, my skin went ballistic with acne due to stress and travel the week of my wedding. I was upset and felt very insecure, but Kristina managed to make me look and feel like a million bucks. I was so grateful for her kindness and talent when I needed it most. I will use her whenever I'm in town and will recommend her to everyone I know. Such a sweetheart and such an amazing artist! Thank you for everything, Kristina!

Kristina was amazing! She did a fabulous job with the makeup even our photographer noticed and commented how great it was. She totally transforms you into the best version of yourself! Kristina was easy to work with and highly recommend!

Kristina's a true artist. She brilliantly applied make-up to my daughter, her bridal party, MOB, and MOG that allowed everyone's true beauty to shine through. A natural glow for the entire party.

Kristina did the make up for our November 2018 wedding and I cannot say enough amazing things about her! She is INCREDIBLE! She was able to beautify 12 of us in 4.5 hours (it may have even been less time) - every single girl was so pleased with their make up and are still commenting how much they loved her! She is easy to talk to and work with - I cannot say enough good things - highly, highly recommend! And THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Kristina has done my makeup a few times but most importantly did my wedding makeup and all of my bridal party. She is incredible and makes you feel so comfortable. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! She is quick but GREAT at what she does. Thank you so much for the awesome experience, Kristina and can’t wait for you to do my makeup sometime soon again!

Kristina did a beautiful job with my makeup! She was very professional in keeping her cool when I would send a million emails about what I wanted or being indecisive about the looks we did. We did two trials together and each time she listened to what I wanted to try and respected my thoughts. Her mother and manager, Renee, is an absolute pleasure to work with as well. She is very timely in responding to emails. On the day of the wedding, Kristina and Renee were on time, ready to go to complete 9 people including myself! Kristina was amazing with getting everyone's makeup completed in a timely manner and looking gorgeous! She was even accommodating to girls that wanted to make changes. When it make to my makeup, she went with the flow when I made some last minute changes to how I wanted to look, combining the two trial looks that we had done. Overall, she did a beautiful job and definitely lives up to her reputation!

My experience with Kristina Ruggerio Cosmetics was a little different but still so incredible! I was referred to Kristina by a colleague of mine, and upon seeing her work and talking to Renee, I knew instantly I wanted Kristina to do my makeup for my wedding day. I really enjoyed coordinating everything with Renee leading up to the wedding. A few months before my wedding, Renee reached out to me to let me know Kristina was expecting her baby girl within two weeks before my wedding, but instantly offered Kristina's partner, Julia Downes, to do makeup for me and my bridesmaids. I was impressed and grateful that Renee was so considerate to make sure I wasn't left hung to dry. Julia was fantastic and I really enjoyed getting to know her during the makeup process. She gave me great tips for everyday makeup use during my trial and recommended some products that I now use! All of my bridesmaids loved meeting her on my wedding day, and they all looked stunning. I am so excited to see the professional photos of everyone and I felt beautiful without looking like I had too much makeup on my face for my wedding day. My husband was equally thrilled about my wedding day look and I received so many compliments. In addition, I had the chance to meet Kristina at a charity event and she was so kind and gracious. I cannot thank Renee, Kristina and Julia enough for such a great experience and recommend them to everyone!!

Kristina is a dream. She is prompt, and a magician with her makeup! She did myself (the bride), 5 bridesmaids, and a Mother of the Bride all in a about 2 hours and we all looked jow-droppingly beautiful! You will not regret booking her for your special day, whether that's a wedding, or any other event in your life!
