Christina was a fantastic makeup artist for my wedding. She went the extra mile during my trial and had so much patience as I figured out what I was looking for in a makeup look. D...
ay-of she brought such a calming, encouraging, and professional presence as we got ready. I felt absolutely stunning in my makeup look. It has made me feel so much more confident in myself in the weeks since the wedding and has made me feel excited to experiment more with makeup. I normally don’t wear makeup, and Christina did such a natural and beautiful look. I felt just like myself but more beautiful. My bridesfolks loved their makeup looks as well. She did a great job coordinating with my hair stylist as well to make sure the whole morning ran seamlessly and on time. I was so amazed that even after how much I cried during the ceremony and how much I walked through the snow my makeup was still there and still beautiful at the end of the night! I highly, highly recommend Christina.
Makeup was a particularly difficult vendor for me to find, as someone who has medium/ tan skin and wants a natural glowy look, it was a hard ask within my budget. I certainly could...
n't hire someone from NYC (with all the travel expenses plus the up-price of the city), and the others from the area I looked at had a style that was either too dramatic or I hadn't seen any that had experience with my skin color. Thankfully, Christina came into my life, and thank god —she saved the day. She is a true artist, and not to mention having previously worked in LA, where I currently live, I knew I was in trustworthy hands. She understood my vision immediately and was so open to making adjustments and figuring out exactly what I wanted (without me even truly knowing how to articulate it!) She not only did a stunning job for me on the day, with such a wonderful, warm presence, but also did all of my bridal party (even some last-minute!!), including my mom. When I tell you, I've never seen such a range of complexions that she could make all look so natural and stunning; it was truly a sight to behold. My friends and family are all very low-maintenance and barely wear makeup, yet somehow she was able to put on such stunning makeup for them while still keeping them looking natural and accentuating their beautiful characters. I also find that makeup can sometimes be overdone on mothers of the bride, and again, she did hers FLAWLESSLY, making her natural beauty shine. She also saved the day when I accidentally ran out of cash for some of my vendors and lent me some of hers! I couldn't recommend Christina more. She is not only talented but she is beautiful, warm, and one of the kindest people you'll meet. I wish she lived closer to me so we could also be friends!
Christina is the absolute best! She did my sister’s wedding in 2022, and I knew I had to have her for mine! She is incredibly attentive to detail and made sure she was in line with...
my vision every step of the way. She also believes in using makeup as a tool to bring out natural beauty and instill confidence rather than to cover up flaws. This approach made me feel so good on the big day! Her calm and collected energy was also very helpful on a hectic day. I can’t recommend her enough!
Christina was beyond a joy to work with and made me and my Mom feel so beautiful. She was honest and caring throughout the whole process and I trusted her implicitly. Would recomme...

e effect of lighting and photos on makeup looks. I have dry, sensitive skin and she is really careful about allergens and gave me suggestions on products with specific ingredients to try before my wedding to make sure my skin was prepped and hydrated. She made me feel beautiful and still like myself, and did a phenomenal job with the makeup of my friends, mom, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and niece. The makeup didn't budge! She is kind, caring, and actively listens and makes you feel comfortable sharing any feedback. It felt more like we were getting ready with a friend than working with a vendor. Christina went above and beyond, even helping finalize the hair timeline and offering to pickup last minute supplies. Do yourself a favor and hire Christina! 1000% would recommend her!
I had the absolute pleasure of having Christina and her assistant as my make up artist for my late June wedding this year. Not only is she an absolute incredible artist who is extr...
emely attentive to your individual skin needs, she is an INCREDIBLE artist who executed my dream perfectly. I am a dermatology PA, I work with and on skin every day and Christina's in depth knowledge of skin and skin care was remarkable. She helped completely erase my two dry patches from pre-wedding stress acne medication use like they were never there in the first place and I had ZERO smudging/budging/running despite copious happy tears (crying photos and late night photos as proof!). She is so incredibly kind and caring and made both the trial and wedding day so lovely and stress-free, seriously between her and my wedding planner they are what kept me the most grounded. If this isn't enough to convince you that you NEED her for your big day, her portfolio speaks for itself! Christina, thank you so much, I am SO grateful to you and your team!

very down to earth and easy to get along with, which are things that you should be looking for in a makeup artist since you’ll be spending so much time with them!

. She was honest, open, and genuinely cared about making sure I felt both beautiful and like myself—which is exactly how I felt on my wedding day.
What stood out most was how much effort she put in behind the scenes. Before the big day, she tested every tweak and change we talked about to make sure my makeup would hold up—and it did, through every smile, all the laughter, and so many happy tears!
I’m so grateful to have had Christina as part of my wedding morning. She brought such a calm, warm energy, and made me feel so confident and at ease.
First of all, Christina is such a wonderful and kind human and spending time with her during my trial and wedding morning was such a privilege. She instantly put myself and my wedd...
ing group at ease and took any stress of getting ready away instantly. She understood the assignments easily from all 3 girls and we could not have been more happy with our make up looks.
The make up looked so great on our wedding pictures, and felt like I looked like myself but elevated. She helped me with my very dry skin on the day of the wedding and it really helped the make up shine tfe space for people to speak freely and create the look you want. I could not recommend Christina more highly, and if we need make-up in the New York area again, I will be contacting her immediately!!hrough on the day but also lasted the whole day.

omes across in her work. I did two trials, to clarify what I wanted and kind of low key to also hang out and talk about makeup, Wicked, and all the things. She’s extremely talented and knowledgeable, a true artist. As an ADHD girlie, I had a hard time making decisions about the lip color and she was so patient, literally on the day gave me a color that was in her personal collection (cleaned and sanitized of course) because it felt like the right color we were looking for. If you’ve found Christina, stop the search- you’ve found the best of the best.
I knew Christina would be "my person" immediately from her website - her inclusivity, honesty, professionalism and welcoming approach shone through as a wonderful addition to her a...
mazing artistry. I was thrilled to see she offered "Grooming" services as my partner wanted his makeup done as well for photo-readiness, and it disrupted the conventional cishet wedding frustration that only THE BRIDE should look her best. She also totally understood my less-conventional hair desires and recommended a brilliant hair artist (Lucy LaRiot) who totally nailed the look - my glam team was completely badass thanks to Christina's inherent coolness and her totally on the nose tips.
We both had a fantastic trial and looked great for our engagement photos, and the day-of was well organized under Christina's excellent timing (and her second artist's - covering over a dozen folks on a tight turnaround.) I of course loved my look (which barely budged - to the extent that I kept it on the next day with the most minor touch up like the gremlin I am, sorry pores!) but I was most amazed by the magnificent range she accomplished, from soft mom looks and beautiful polish on my lovely guy to a wild 60s glam for my very specific friend who brought a dozen reference photos. I admire Christina as an artist, person and professional and am so glad to have had this occasion to bring her into my world.
Christina is absolutely phenomenal. Not only have I never had my makeup look so good, but she was amazing to work with -- kind, personable, and so incredibly helpful. As a perpetua...
lly dry skinned person, she made my face look hydrated and like I had never gone through my acne ridden teen years.
She arrived to the venue early, had every product and tool that we could possibly need, and was skilled in the various makeup styles the wedding party requested. She was even able to perfectly cover the sunburn I'd gotten on my chest during the previous day!
I requested Christina stay until after the ceremony to fix my makeup because I knew I was going to sob. She stayed, constantly helped primp me and give touchups up until the moment I went out, then fixed my makeup and even helped bustle my dress afterwards (and her initial makeup application was so good -- it hadn't even budged despite my crying during vows)!
It's a bummer I've found my forever person, because if I had another wedding she is the very first vendor I would rehire!
Christina's the coolest person I’ve ever met, and was so easy going when it came to my style. My makeup looked so beautiful in the pictures and she made sure i still looked like my...
self (just a bit more elevated). She also carefully listened to everyone sitting in her chair and made sure everyone loved their style. I was crying all day and my makeup STAYED with minimal touch ups!
Christina was such a highlight of my wedding day! From the moment I met her at my trial, I felt completely at ease and fully trusted I was in capable, professional, and, most impor...
tantly, very kind hands. She is incredibly thoughtful, funny, quick-witted, and compassionate. She truly holds space for you and helped guide me through expressing what my vision was, even if I wasn’t entirely sure how to articulate it. And then, of course, there is her talent! I was truly blown away by my wedding day makeup. She took all of my notes and feedback from the trial and executed perfectly. She heard my concerns about lipstick (it coming off on my husband, having to re-touch, etc) and instead of just convincing me to go with lipstick, she found a lipstick stain in my favorite shade. I felt genuinely beautiful while also completely recognizable as myself, the perfect balance of natural and elevated for the occasion of the day. And despite the humidity and hours of dancing, I literally didn’t have to touch up my makeup once.
Perhaps the most meaningful part: Christina embraced my mom and aunt (both of whom were nervous about professional makeup) with so much patience and kindness. She answered all their questions, heard their hesitations, and talked them through every step of the process. They looked absolutely stunning and I could tell how good they felt. And my husband loved his grooming services, too!
Christina’s grounding presence amidst the chaos of getting ready was such a breath of fresh air and I’m so grateful to have gotten to know her! She was responsive & communicative every step of the way and working with her could not have gone more smoothly. Don’t hesitate - book her now!

the details -- communication with her, my makeup trial session, and the morning of our wedding couldn't have gone any smoother. And she is so incredibly talented. She understood immediately how I wanted to look on our wedding day and she made me look and feel absolutely gorgeous from the time she applied my makeup at 7:30am until I removed it at 11:30pm. Christina was a calming, steady presence first thing in the morning on a very frenetic day. I can't recommend her enthusiastically enough!

Do not look any further for a wedding day makeup artist. I promise you- your search ends here!!
Christina was an absolute dream to work with as my wedding day makeup artist. From...
the moment I met, her professionalism and kindness immediately put me at ease. She has such a calming presence and it's such a welcome energy during wedding planning which, as we all know, can be chaotic. But she's also warm, friendly, and funny. I was so drawn to her energy, that I found myself wanting to be friends with her after the whole experience. She's genuinely a great person through and through.
All of that alone sets Christina apart, but her ARTISTRY is what makes her top tier. She knew exactly how to enhance my bridal party's natural beauty, and the results were stunning. All of us felt so confident and beautiful, and I can’t even count how many compliments we received throughout the day. The best part? The makeup lasted all night—even after all the dancing and happy tears, it still looked flawless. Two of my bridesmaids said it was the longest they've ever had wedding makeup last. And they've been bridesmaids MANY times!!
Everyone in the bridal party was thrilled with their makeup, and I couldn’t have been happier with mine. Christina really listened to what we wanted and nailed it with looks that were both beautiful and natural.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who’s talented, friendly, and just awesome to work with, Christina is your girl. She made us all feel so special, and I’m so grateful for her amazing work on such a special day.
Working with Christina was a wedding godsend! From the very beginning she was so easy and wonderful to deal with, and her talent is unmatched. On top of all of that, she is such a ...
great person and brought wonderful energy to our wedding morning. All of my bridesmaids were so happy with their makeup, and my mom - who had never had her makeup professionally done before - was over the moon about how she looked all day, which was so special for me.
Christina also took her artistry to the next level when she covered my tattoos. The process was so easy, and you would truly never know that they were there! I cannot recommend Christina enough; she is simply the best of the best!
Christina is AMAZING! I worked with Christina for my 10/15/22 wedding and could not have been happier. Not only did my makeup and my mom/sister/bridesmaids' makeup look amazing and...
last all night, Christina is such a wonderful and kind human to work with. I had never had my makeup professionally done, and at my trial Christina took so much time and care to ensure we created a look I loved and was comfortable with. She is an expert at her craft and I can't recommend her enough!
We couldn’t be happier that we chose Christina for our bridal makeup! She is incredibly talented and such a lovely person. From our first conversation, it was apparent that Christi...
na is a true artist and master of her craft. As a same-sex couple, it was important to us that our makeup looks were complementary but unique. She really cared about understanding the looks we were going for and shared such helpful suggestions about makeup and skincare in the lead up to our wedding. Following our trial, we let Christina know about a few adjustments we wanted to make day of and also asked her for some suggestions. She was responsive and solutions-oriented, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have been happier with how our makeup looked (and wore) on our wedding day! Christina also did an amazing job with makeup for the friends and family who got ready with us. My wife’s mom rarely wears makeup and was a bit nervous about getting her makeup done. Christina did an excellent job of giving her a very natural but elevated look that made her feel comfortable but special. We can’t recommend Christina enough!
I cannot recommend Christina Delfino Makeup Artistry ENOUGH! From start to finish, the process was so easy and she kept me and my friends and family completely comfortable through ...
it all!
I had a basic idea of what I was looking for, and Christina took that base and transformed it into more than I could have dreamed of.
For the day off, Christina did full makeup for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, 1 bridesman and the mother of the bride and made sure we each got exactly what we were looking for with each of our looks. Each look was personalized to the individuals preference which ranged from light makeup to more dramatic looks, and they all looked perfect and photographed so beautifully!
On top of everything, she made sure we were all picture perfect again before we walked down the aisle. After everything, sweating, crying, dancing, eating, etc., my makeup still looked as fresh and beautiful as it did when Christina applied it at the start of the day!
I am so grateful to Christina for sharing her gift with us and making us look and feel so gorgeous!
Do NOT miss out on booking her! I’d use her for everything every single day if I could!
It is impossible to sum up how happy we are that we booked Christina's services for our wedding. My wife and I rarely wear makeup and wanted to look like ourselves but slightly ele...
vated. It's REALLY hard to find people who do this well. Christina is the gold standard. She is extremely professional but is also kind and warm and made both of us feel calm and beautiful on our wedding day. She managed to cover a massive pimple I had while still allowing my freckles to be visible. To me it seemed like magic. My sisters, who love makeup and wear it regularly were done up in slightly more "glam" looks, which also looked amazing. Christina even came to our house for a second trial when my wife decided she wanted something slightly different from her first trial. She listened perfectly to what each person wanted and fully delivered. I was worried about sweating off the makeup on our 90 degree wedding day plus humidity but Christina again worked magic to keep everything in place until I was removing the makeup at 4 AM. We cannot recommend her enough.
Christina is FANTASTIC. I can’t say enough good things about her professionalism and skill. I have a severe topical skin allergy and she was so careful and took extra time to ensur...
e she had only safe products but still enough choices to ensure I had the exact look I wanted for my wedding. My makeup held up so well all night and the touch up kit she gave me had everything I needed to stay looking my best all night. Every one of my girls loved their makeup as well. Thank you Christina!
Before even touching on how talented Christina is, it's important you know what a wonderful human she is. Throughout the entire process Christina was kind, gentle, humorous, honest...
, and sincere. During the emotional moments on my wedding day Christina encouraged me to take a moment for myself and never once did I feel rushed. Not only that, when we realized we didn't pick up a sheet cake (yes, we made that big of an error) Christina HERSELF went out and bought one. A literal angel!!!
Moving on to how talented she is, Christina captured exactly what I wanted for my big day and walked me through all the steps she took to accomplish it. She perfected the dewy, natural look I was going for, and for someone with difficult skin she is just a dream. My makeup made me feel so beautiful, but still like myself. If you're considering booking Christina for your wedding, what are you waiting for?
If you have been looking for a sign to book Christina for your wedding or event, CONSIDER THIS IT!!
Christina was the makeup artist for my New Years Wedding, and I truly cannot be...
lieve how lucky I am that I landed Christina for the big day.
First i'll start with the trial. Christina came to my home to do my trial, and I of course was nervous about someone else doing my own makeup as I had only had it done a few times, but pretty much as soon as Christina arrived I was at ease. She was so lovely and kind, had an impeccably clean and neat makeup kit, and after 5 minutes of her being in my home I felt like she was just one of my friends. She took her time with the trial, letting me look in the mirror at each stage to let her know what I liked and didn’t, and what I thought could be tweaked. Christina took one look at my fairly vague Inspo photos and hit the nail on the head. She created an environment that made me feel comfortable telling her what I wanted to tweak, which was honestly very little. My nervous feelings going into the trial were turned into such excitement from the amazing work Christina did.
Throughout the planning process, Christina was so kind, responsive, and flexible to our ever-changing timeline and list of people who wanted to use her services.
Flash forward to the wedding day - Christina came on time (she actually was early but told us to just let her know when we were ready for her to come up) locked and loaded with an again PRISTINE kit, with containers of brushes labeled with each persons name who was getting their makeup done. Our party getting makeup done by Christina ranged in age, skin types, everyday makeup wearing levels, and idea of what they wanted, but let me tell you - every single person came away with a palpable confidence and radiance, all looking like DROP. DEAD. KNOCKOUTS!!!! I attribute so much of this to how comfortable everyone was with Christina, and how well she listened to each person’s wants and needs. Christina even ended up sewing up our officiants dress when it broke right before our ceremony. Talk about a team player.
As for my bridal makeup, it was somehow even BETTER than the trial!! I was so nervous that I wouldn't feel confident or beautiful on my wedding day, but after getting my makeup done by Christina, I felt more confident than I ever have, and the best part was that the makeup was somehow WEIGHTLESS. One of my biggest concerns was my makeup staying on as I am a big crier (cryer?), and Christina assured me and everyone else that all of our makeup would stay put. She wasn’t lying! My makeup and everyone else stayed on through tears, rain, humidity, and sweat. The only word to describe it is MAGIC. She even did a very light touch up for my now husband, and he couldn’t stop remarking about how great his skin looked.
I could go on and on singing Christina’s praises, but the TLDR of this review is that you will not find a makeup artist as skilled, dependable, kind, and overall amazing as Christina. I will be recommending her and hiring her for any future events until the end of time!
Christina is an extremely talented makeup artist and a gem of a human. I was VERY nervous about getting my makeup done for my wedding day as I generally wear little to no makeup. B...
ut upon meeting Christina at my trial appointment, she put my worries at ease and made me feel like my best self. Truly! I felt so glam but natural. She never pushed more makeup on me and listened to exactly what I wanted. When my wedding day came around, she was a calming presence and extremely attentive to me and my sisters (who also got their makeup done by her and they both LOVED their looks). We loved working with Christina and I would recommend her over and over and over again. Don't think, just book her!
I cannot properly explain how lucky I feel to have been able to work with Christina on my wedding day!
Thought the process, even beforehand, she was determined to make sure I didn...
’t leave the chair without feeling beautiful. She worked with all my anxieties and insecurities and she did so many things that day that were above and beyond what anyone could expect, she came through for me in ways that some of the people closest to me couldn’t.
Her talent also speaks for itself. She’s mastered a natural look that makes you look like your most glamorous self while still actually looking like yourself. She’s also very clean and professional and if you work with her you can rest assured that this is one aspect of your day that you won’t have to worry about.
Christina is more than just an incredible makeup artist; she's also an incredibly warm and friendly person who will help you feel at ease as you get ready for the wedding.
From th...
e moment I first booked her, it was clear that her goal is to make you feel like your most amazing self. She was incredibly organized and asked lots of questions ahead of the trial. The trial itself was great--she showed me a few different looks and seemed to genuinely want to get my feedback to make sure we landed on the right look.
When, a week before the wedding, my BFF asked if she could have her makeup done too, Christina was so flexible and had no problem adding her in last-minute.
She was also super organized. Like Mary Poppins, everything I could possibly need, she somehow had in her makeup bag. I was dehydrated, she had an electrolyte drink for me. I was super tired and stressed, she had a skin-boosting mask for me. I was worried about sweating it all off in the summer heat, and she left me with a jam-packed (but also very cute looking) touch-up kit that featured everything I'd need to look good once she left me to take photos and head to the ceremony.
Needless to say, my makeup looked flawless and lasted all. night. long. I went for something a bit glam (silver smokey eye) that photographed soooo well. But most importantly, Christina was just a really nice, kind, friendly person; she put me at ease at what could otherwise be a stressful moment.
I can't recommend Christina enough!
Christina Delfino is an absolute gem to work with and I would trust my face to no one else. She is gentle, calm, organized and encouraging. She has a manner that will make you feel...
so beautiful while being authentically yourself. She knew I wanted a natural look for the wedding and wow she knew the assignment and delivered. She ran the getting ready show from start to finish. There were bumps in the schedule but I had no idea because she handled it with grace, diffused any potential stress and kept us on time. She made our entire party feel welcome, beautiful inside and out and provided helpful everyday tips for skin care routines and makeup. My flower girl was SO excited to work with her, was ecstatic with the lipgloss and eye shadow and kept showing off the lip gloss that Christina gave her. Christina is the only person I would trust with my face for my wedding and any event. I should also mention that Christina is my best friend of more than a decade and it was such a privilege to see her start this business from scratch and build it to such an incredible success. I can honestly tell you she is genuinely as deeply caring and kind as she treats her clients, she is also a phenomenal mother, friend, and just overall great person to have in your corner. I love you girl.
Christina was THE BEST. She was extremely understanding about my insecurities with my skin and was able to make everyone happy whether they wanted a natural look like I did, or a ...
more dramatic eye. She took time to understand what I liked and did not and pivoted her approach. She even helped me into my dress. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, she was meant for this job and for interacting with people. She was just a ray of sun on what can be a stressful morning.
I had a super small wedding in the east village a for the life of me couldn’t find a makeup artist that didn’t require a minimum number of services in order to hire her. Christina ...
came to my apartment and did a trial. She was so clear that my satisfaction and happiness was the most important factor in the experience. Makeup can be tricky but Christina made sure that I got exactly what I wanted, willing to change any detail to my liking. My mom liked the photos of my trial so much that she decided to get her makeup done too! Christina was punctual, professional, and so organized for both the trial and the wedding. She was so comforting on my big day, making me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. Christina is a dream! Highly, highly recommend. She even went above and beyond to make my flower girl feel special with some light eye shadow and lip gloss. 💕
Working with Christina was a DREAM! It is so obviously how deeply she cares about everyone she works with and how committed she is to giving you the exact look that you want. She i...
nvests time in getting to know you and what you want before you book with her, before your trial, and after your trial and before your wedding.
She also makes it extremely clear that she wants makeup day-of to be an iterative and collaborative process between the two of you; she did a few things and then showed me to make sure I liked it, did a few more things and then showed me and asked me again, etc. She makes you feel very comfortable giving your opinion throughout. She also made sure I liked my makeup in several different types of lighting and both inside and outside at the venue. All the way up until the moment she left my venue she was making sure I was happy with my look and was always willing to change something if I wanted.
Similar to many brides, I wanted that "glam but natural / still feel like myself look" and Christina absolutely knocked it out of the park. I felt so glamorous and elegant but still felt like myself.
It was also such a joy to have her and her second artist Corey in the house with my girls and I - they were so easy going, fun, respectful, and thoughtful. All of my bridesmaids told me the next day how much they loved them both.
Christina is the absolute best and working with her was an amazing experience. She is a kind, thoughtful, beautiful person inside and out and truly cares about everyone she works with. Book her now!!
Not to mention, my wedding was also originally planned for 2020 and needed to be postponed and Christina was so easy and accommodating to work with through the rescheduling process!
I highly recommend working with Christina for your wedding makeup needs! She is both a joy to be around and an incredible talent. From the initial phone call, through the trial, an...
d then on my wedding day, she was so informative and discussed a few ways we could achieve the look I wanted. I was blown away with how my makeup turned out. I am not someone who wears a ton of makeup, so I was very very concerned about feeling overdone. But with Christina's talent I found that balance of feeling beautiful and glamorous, but still feeling like myself. Working with her was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding preparations. Thank you Christina!
I searched for a makeup artist that could give me a natural look on my wedding day that still felt especially beautiful, and that I had 100% confidence in. I spoke to a few differe...
nt makeup artists/vendors with tons of natural looks in their portfolio, but I luckily was referred to Christina and within a few minutes of my first call with her I knew I wanted to book her. I LOVED that in our first call she asked questions and noted considerations that no other vendors had asked or mentioned to me (and that I hadn't considered, either), which signaled to me that she would be incredibly thorough and thoughtful in how to approach my look for the day. And she delivered on everything I hoped for. During my trial she helped me understand what I should consider based on her expertise. My makeup look was perfect, and my bridal party was thrilled with how their makeup looked as well. Beyond our makeup, Christina was just a delight to be around and talk to. She armed us all with kits to take care of any emergencies that might spring up during the wedding day that I still find myself using. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day. Book her if she's available, you won't be disappointed!
Christina and her team are absolutely amazing!!! We had a pretty big bridal party of 8 bridesmaids, 1 flower girl, and mothers of the bride and groom. Christina didn’t bat an eye a...
t the work load, and brought 2 assistants with her who were equally amazing. She and her assistants did everyone’s makeup flawlessly and you couldn’t even tell that different people did everyone’s look. They were efficient, on time, friendly, and great people to talk to. Christina is easy to work with and she really only wants her clients to be happy no matter the look they want she’s going to go the extra mile to make it happen. I couldn’t describe what color eye shadow I wanted like not a color but that there’s something there (so specific I know) but she knew exactly what I meant and worked together with me to make it exactly how I wanted. She’s so encouraging and a calming presence to have on a hectic day. I even had her do my makeup for my bridal shower because I loved her so much. We had her for the whole wedding day and she touched up me and all the girls whenever we felt we needed it. 10/10 would recommend.
Christina is absolutely amazing! If she is available, book her right away! From our first interaction, she was professional and personable. Her makeup is flawless and makes you fee...
l like the best version of yourself! I wanted to feel natural but elevated and Christina captured the look exactly. After the trial, I almost felt like I didn't have much makeup on until I washed it off and realized how transformed I was! She is truly an artist. Everyone in my wedding party looked stunning! Christina also comes to the day extremly prepared, each person in my wedding party had their own labeled set of tools and she kept to the timing perfectly. She made sure we didn't feel rushed. She is also just the nicest person and will make you feel so relaxed on your wedding day! She is happy to work with you to get the look that is exactly right for you! I can't wait until I have a reason for Christina to do my makeup again but I would definitely book her in the future for another event!
Christina was amazing to work with - I cannot recommend her enough. My makeup looks were ON POINT - Christina created two very distinct looks, full of color. She really understood ...
the way makeup looked on my face, especially considering my ethnicity. The cherry on top - I didn't have to worry about my makeup all weekend. I wasn't worried about anything smudging or coming off, which was SO nice considering how long every day/night was. :)
She also left me a little makeup kit after she left for the night - it was so helpful to have on-hand and the bridesmaids loved the little lipstick keepsake they were able to take away.
I am beyond thrilled that I was able to use Christina for my wedding on 10.29.21! She is. worth EVERY PENNY!! I have struggled with feeling beautiful in my own skin for my entire l...
ife and have never really felt "pretty enough" to have my makeup professionally done, so choosing a vendor who could make me feel comfortable and worthy of being glammed up was super intimidating to me. Christina made me feel BEAUTIFUL and for me to say that is a rarity. She truly has a gift and helped me (and my bridesmaids+mommas) feel beautiful and find a look that worked for each of us. AND the makeup lasted ALL NIGHT. I woke up still in tact for the most part and was sad to wash everything off. Go with Christina - you will not be disappointed !!!
Hiring Christina as my wedding makeup artist was truly one of the best decisions I made! Christina is incredibly talented, kind, and made every step of the process easy and stress-...
free. Before our initial phone consultation, she sent me a very detailed and helpful FAQ document, and that was honestly the first sign that I knew she was the right fit! Planning a wedding is stressful enough, so having a detailed FAQ sheet for brides was genius. I wish all vendors did this!! This answered almost of all of my questions, so by the time we had our call we were able to just focus on getting to know each other and my style/vision for my wedding makeup.
For my trial, Christina was awesome and made sure I was 100% happy with the look. I wasn’t entirely sure how to articulate what I was looking for, but she was very patient and we eventually landed on something that felt like an elevated version of myself. She also asked me other questions about my skin type, and my photographer’s editing style, to make sure my makeup would look great in photos.
Fast forward to the wedding day, and I was beyond thrilled with how my makeup turned out. Christina perfectly executed my vision, and I actually cried when I saw myself in the mirror--I felt beautiful, special, but still like myself. There were many more tears to follow throughout the wedding day (plus some sweating...it was August after all!) and my makeup did not budge.
So, if you are looking for a makeup artist who is kind, thoughtful, patient, and who will help you feel like the best version of yourself, look no further! Make sure you have Christina part of your wedding team--you will not regret it!!
Let’s pretend for a second that I didn’t get married during a pandemic - I honestly couldn't have been happier with Christina! She made me feel like the most beautiful version of m...
yself. She is a great listener (very important when it comes to a makeup artist), incredibly talented, and her makeup style brought out all of the most beautiful qualities of all of my friends. She is also just a joy to be around.
Now let’s add the pandemic in - She went above and beyond to be sensitive to my needs and concerns, offered a second complementary trial since my last one was a year ago (2020, sigh), and was so kind after what was a very hard year for vendors and couples alike.
I honestly couldn’t recommend a vendor more highly than I recommend Christina. Book her now because I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s booked for the next few seasons! Here’s a few photos of myself and my beautiful bridesmaids to show you how special everyone looked xo (OH -And the makeup lasted the entire night!)
Highly highly recommended! I don't usually wear a lot of makeup, so finding a makeup artist for my wedding was a bit stressful. I'm so glad I found Christina. She totally understoo...
d the "natural but polished" look I was going for and I loved how it turned out. Christina even took into account that I would be wearing my glasses and made sure the eye makeup and glasses worked together. The makeup lasted all night, looked great in photos, and she gave me some full-size products for touch ups! Christina was also a total joy to have around during the "getting ready" portion of the day.
Not only was Christina AMAZING at what she did for my bridal makeup and many of my bridesmaids, but she was such a treat to have in the whole ‘getting ready’ process. She takes her...
work very seriously and was such a calming presence in the chaos. My makeup lasted a whole 12 hours and was exactly what I had wanted!!! I cannot recommend hiring Christina enough.
Christina is amazing and was able to perfectly nail the stunning look I was envisioning for my wedding! Working with her for my wedding was so wonderful and I truly felt compelled...
to write this review so everyone else can be as lucky as I to have her as a makeup artist! I am still not over how I looked on my wedding day, I felt the most beautiful EVER. From the start of my wedding planning, in our initial phone consultation, Christina proved to be a great listener. She listened to my concerns about makeup/looks, what I liked and disliked, etc. She was also very knowledgeable and forthcoming about the connections that makeup has with other aspects of the wedding. For example, early on I said I want a natural and light look, but she suggested that I speak with my photographer about the photographs and editing process. Luckily I did, because the photographs for my photographer are edited much lighter so if I went with something super light, I would have looked like I had no makeup on. Her advice made me think of things about makeup that I would have never considered and I am grateful she was able to help me in this manner because it made the photographs better, in my opinion. Another example is in the trial, she did the look and I loved it but then 1 week before the wedding (woops!) I was feeling I wanted it a bit more glam. She was quick to respond and said no problem and then the day of, she totally delivered! She is so customer service oriented and was respectful of each person's preferences, likes and dislikes, etc. My mom was so picky about her makeup look the morning of the wedding and while I was "stressed" that mom was being so tough, Christina made my mom feel super comfortable, justified in her feelings and frankly, like a queen!
10/10 5 stars, I can’t recommend Christina enough. I typically don’t wear any makeup and associate getting your makeup done with going to prom which was not great. Christina absolu...
tely blew me away. I also have light skin, freckles and light hair, and I had this fear of looking completely overdone at the wedding, but with Christina, my makeup looked insanely natural but also elevated - like a more polished version of myself. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. She is so so kind and has the most calming and professional presence. She gave me a little pack to bring to the wedding and was just so so kind to my whole wedding party and family. Booking Christina was one of the best decisions I made. If you are considering Christina, seriously look no further I promise you will be thrilled!
I actually found Christina, etc as she was a college friend’s sister.
I wasn’t really sure what to expect but for my bridal trial I just kept my hopes up. Needless to say I was bl...
own away the first day I met Christina. Christina is friendly, funny, and an absolute joy to be around. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and honestly goes the extra mile. Your happiness comes first to her as her client, and she did not disappoint. Several months went by and it was time for my wedding day, Christina was ready to go. She was on time, professional, easy-going, and kept me sane as my blood pressure kept rising until it was time to get dressed. She was quick to make sure that the bride got a beverage to calm her nerves, and let me tell you-my make up did not move all night. I was sobbing during my maid of honor’s speech, and I even forgot to take my makeup off when I went to sleep. My lashes were still on when I woke up!!!
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, easy-going and chill make up artist for your day to get you through it and make sure you still look bomb the next morning, Christina is absolutely your vendor!
It was such a pleasure to work with Christina for my wedding. Makeup is so personal and finding a makeup artist that suits your style can be really challenging. As soon as I saw Ch...
ristina’s work, I knew she would be the right fit for me.
She’s a consummate professional — friendly, thoughtful, on time and puts everyone around her at ease. On my wedding day, my makeup made me feel like an enhanced version of myself. Christina really paid attention to all of the comments and questions I had throughout the application process and was so willing to make tweaks until I felt totally comfortable with the final look.
If you are searching for a detailed, artistic and talented makeup artist, look no further!
A makeup artist was the last vendor I hired for my wedding; it took me months of searching, because I was so nervous about the idea of someone doing my makeup professionally and co...
uldn't find a bridal style that resonated with mine. I have never worn much makeup and all of my encounters with makeup artists have been terrible — until I met Christina. She made me feel so supported, and patiently worked with me to figure out a look that made me feel comfortable. She didn't push any products or guilt me into looking a certain way, which has happened with other artists. In addition to being extremely professional and COVID conscious, she is also such a warm and genuine person to be around. On the wedding day, she showed up early, worked her magic, and I truly felt more beautiful and confident than I could have imagined — but also exactly like MYSELF, which was huge to me. I cannot thank her enough for rolling with all the punches of our pandemic wedding changes, and for being a huge part of making me finally feel like a bride on the day of. I certainly hope to work with Christina again in the future, but in the meantime, hire her!
