Christy Edlin Makeup

e had to get ready in at the venue was small with not-great lighting). She was punctual, attentive, very skilled, and super sweet. She made the little flower girls feel very special and part of the "big girls club" by putting a litte color on their cheeks and lips. She kept all our makeup very natural and flattering; no one looked or felt like they had a gallon of face paint on :). We all looked fantastic! And her rates were great. Highly recommended. I will definitely use her for my next wedding (kidding - but you should use her for yours!)

e to do my makeup for the wedding. She came to my house and did mine as well as my daughter's future Mother-in Law. Christy is truly gifted. When I got to the wedding all of the bridesmaids who were getting ready commented how great my makeup looked and everyone at the wedding said that I looked beautiful. I am so very grateful for Christy's expertise and kindness. She is so talented and caring. Many thanks to her for making me look feel so very special!

n time, and always prepared with the industry's new and upcoming products. She has a profound eye for color and blending (art background) and REFUSES to overdo your makeup, unless that is, you ask for caked on makeup. She never fails to make me feel like a dressed-up version of myself. Her artistry photographs PHENOMENALLY. I got so many compliments on my wedding makeup. I didn't even do a trial run with Christy. That is how much I trust her. She showed up on the morning of my wedding, and worked her magic. What a beautiful soul that I would recommend to anyone.

ial day. Christy genuinely cares for each of her clients and will be 100% professional. She does amazing work and will definitely exceed your expectations.

o nice and made the makeup process during the wedding planning so enjoyable. She always answered my emails within 24 hours- it didn’t matter if my wedding date was 13 months away or 1 day away. She was punctual, professional and her kindness and willingness to help you goes beyond what is required for a makeup artist. I enjoyed talking to her about life, work and marriage during the makeup trial. I LOVED my makeup, it was natural and beautiful. The way she works with the eyes and makes them “pop” is magic. The day of the wedding all the girls were done on time and everything was stress free. I am so happy with her services and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who is friendly, response and a very talented makeup artist. Book her! You will not regret it.

rves. She was very professional and arrived right on time. Christy made me feel at ease as she did my make-up, and she stayed while I got into my dress so that she could apply the final touches of make-up. I loved how fantastic I looked while still looking like myself. I didn't feel like the make-up was overdone--it looked very natural. Christy also did my mother's make-up. My mom doesn't wear make-up ever, so Christy was careful to give her a look that didn't make her feel uncomfortable. Thanks for everything, Christy!

edding day and I think my makeup turned out absolutely fabulous! I really loved how sweet she was (you just really like her when you meet her), and she was super-easy to work with. She even helped me re-do my bouquets when my flowers arrived and were messed up. Seriously, isn't that great?!

with Christy in charge! :)

essional. Christy helped us put together our wedding day itinerary and pulled off the challenging task of doing the makeup for the bride, her two sisters, and myself, and it was all in coordination with hair schedules. Throughout the day, she kept everything flowing smoothly because she is truly gifted at making each client feel calm and relaxed while she works her magic. Our wedding was in the middle of August and not one of us had a shiny face the entire evening as Christy had done such a wonderful job of applying our makeup with the heat and humidity in mind. Most importantly, the bride's makeup was flawless! She had never looked more beautiful. Christy Edlin was such a gift to us on our special day and we are so thankful she made us all look and feel fabulous!

nts for years, and it has looked amazing every time. What we love about Christy is that she doesn't try to change what you look like with makeup. Instead, she enhances your natural features so you still look like you. She also did my makeup for my bridal portraits session, and I was extremely impressed - I was taking them outside in June in Austin (which meant it was about 100 degrees outside), and was worried I was going to sweat off all of my makeup. But Christy worked her magic and put something on my face that kept if from getting even the slightest bit greasy during the entire three hour photo shoot. She is amazing! She also did my mom and my two sisters' make up on the wedding day, and they all looked stunning. Christy is not only an extremely talented makeup artist, but she is also such a pleasure to work with. She is such a sweet person, and you can always count on her to make you look fabulous. Trust me, Christy Edlin is the best!!!

nt WAY over even though I had done a trial 2 weeks before and did not have any time issues. Christy gave one of my bridesmaids a nice prayer to give to me and asked her if she could do makeup since we were running so late, but my bridesmaid wouldn't agree. Christy waited until I got to the church at the time that I was supposed to be completely done with makeup and my appointment was supposed to be over. Christy graciously stayed for another 10 minutes and quickly did my makeup, which looked AMAZING for the short amount of time. I was so grateful because I didn't want to do my own makeup. She really did a phenomenal job and helped make up for some of the stress from the hair fiasco. I just wish she wouldn't have had to rush off because the appointments were made so close together. The biggest issue was the booking before my wedding. I booked her months before my wedding and we had tentatively set the time that she would do my makeup at the church with the understanding that it could be changed. I changed it at least 2 months before my wedding to 15 minutes later because I wanted some time for travel from the salon to the church. Needless to say, I was shocked when I got an e-mail the week of my wedding saying she would be there at the original time (15 minutes earlier than we had agreed to). I e-mailed her back and asked if we could move it back to the time we had agreed to, which was 15 minutes later, and she told me that she would have to check with the other bride that she had booked AFTER I had booked her. Luckily the other bride was flexible.

ng but also listens to what her clients want, which is a wonderful combination. Her warm personality made the experience fun and relaxing and the resulting make-up was stunning and lasted all through the night despite warm weather and hours of dancing. Christy made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a make-up artist for any occasion!

n her expertise and sweet calming demeanor. She came to our home the day of the wedding to do our makeup and her professionalism and lovely personality were exactly what was needed. We happily recommend her services to everyone! During the outdoor wedding we had a bit of rain and somehow our makeup remained looking absolutely perfect--not sure how she accomplished that!!! There was no touch up needed. This is the third time we have used Christy's services. If we could give more stars, we would. She is extraordinary!!!

up, there was no question in my mind. I knew I wanted to use Christy for both my portraits as well as for my wedding day. To say she is amazing, is an understatement. She is professional, knows what she is talking about, friendly, and most importantly listens to her clients and helps create what you invision and looks best on you. I do not wear a lot of makeup so Christy was able to create a natural look that everyone commented on and looked great in the pictures. Additionally, she cleaned up my eyebrows and was also able to hide a little redness on my sholders and neck. Christy kept me calm and gave me some of the best advice in regards to maintaining a strong marriage on my wedding day. She even provided me with a touchup kit in case any of my lip stick smeared or wore off, but I didn't even need it! After Christy finished my mom, sister's and I's makeup she then assisted with other wedding tasks for us like fixing a couple of bouquets and making sure everyones dress was properly pressed. I will never use anyone else for makeup and highly recommend Christy to all of my friends. She truly is talented and you will not be disappointed. Christy has become a great friend to my family and made me feel and look beautiful on my wedding day. For her friendship, advice, and the look that she created for me on my wedding day, I will always be thankful!

ing my facial features and giving me a great appearance for my wedding. I wanted a natural, yet fresh look. She is attune to how bold or soft you want you make-up to be (though by her photos on her site you can see she never applies too much), and I think she had just the right touch for me. She also did a great job on the other members of my wedding party that she took care of on my big day -- everyone looked fantastic. I had a great time with Christy and believe I made the right choice for my wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

raging and she truly is a woman of faith. Her make up skills are incredible and she did an amazing job on myself, my mom, and four of my bridesmaids. We started make up at 11 and had pictures at 4:30, ceremony at 7 and we left the reception at 12:15. Everyone's make up looked flawless at the end of the night. One thing I really think Christy nails when she is doing make up is that everyone still looks like themselves, she doesn't let the make up wear you instead she let's you wear the make up!!!! A true delight to work with and I can't wait to have the opportunity to work with her again!

inite ideas on what she wanted to look like on her wedding day. Christy listened and made her every wish come true. She was truly a beautiful bride and much of the credit goes to Christy. She also did my makeup and my daughter-in laws makeup. After she has completed her magic you feel absolutely beautiful and the wows & ahhs are affirmation enough! She made my daughter's wedding a truly memorable experience. I even picked up tips from Christy that I am using in my every day makeup routine now. Thank you Christy from the bottom of my heart!

y look AND feel beautiful since 2005. A caring professional that can not only do makeup, but help you out with those last minute problems that always arrive in such a stressful atmosphere of big events.

Like the artist that she is, she will transform and bring out your inner beauty so it will shine not only on your big day, but for other special events as well.

what she does and makes your day that much more special. I felt beautiful and I highly recommend her!

k.

imagined for my wedding day – I looked absolutely beautiful and wouldn’t have changed a thing. Even though I normally don’t wear a lot of make-up, Christy managed to highlight all my great features without making me look overly made-up.

wedding day and would recommend Christy for anyone looking for a makeup artist.

e make-up. She is so caring and sweet and I don't know what I would have done without her. She made my day perfect. I looked beautiful and my Groom was in awe! I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know.

lways came through. She applies make-up as an artist taking in to account the entire person. My daughter's face always looked flawless. Christy is just a beautiful person too, inside and out. She also appled my make-up at my daughter's wedding and I was very pleased. I highly recommend Christy. She is the best!

o me Christy Edlin is simply The Best. Beside her exceptional talent is her professionalism. Christy has been our family make up artist since 2003, for Senior Portraits, Deb Balls and now Weddings and Bridals. She has been like family since our first meeting. Christy is always bubbling with excitement over our event, she knows all the details as she begins her work and the result is always perfection! Our first daughter was married at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin on 11/20/2010 and Christy did our make up for all the weekend events. She set our timeline for the wedding day, arrived early to set up, stayed on task and had my three daughters and I beautiful and ready on time. She is confident in her work and use to working on a timeline due to her experience with weddings and other important events. Christy has a calming effect on your day, she is loving and reassuring with her positive words. She has even helped tweak problems encountered in the past with out daughters hair do’s and dresses. But her most valuable quality is her love for what she does; it always shows in her work! A little kudos to Christy, my cousin from New York City, who has been in the make up industry for over 30 years, came down for my daughters wedding with her husband who is a high level executive for Estee Lauder and they highly praised Christy Edlin’s make up artistry. I love you Christy Edlin you are simply THE BEST 

She worked with me to give me exactly what I wanted. She was fun and easy to talk to. She helped to keep me from getting nervous, which caused me to really enjoy my wedding day. She made me look and feel like a supermodel! I can't say enough good things about Christy and her beautiful work!

did an amazing job ... I didn't feel like I had too much makeup on at all, yet I could see what a difference she made! The day of the wedding she went above and beyond her role as make-up artist. She helped with my hair and dress! I'm amazed how sweet and calm she was with me while she was doing my makeup while I was crying just before the ceremony. Christy is a lovely person who helped calm the nerves a very nervous bride. Besides the fact that she is fantastic at what she does, she is very caring and really wants you to look your best and enjoy the process. Thanks again Christy,

cribe the incredible work Christy does!! She is extremely talented and I have never felt more beautiful in my life!! She did the make-up for 4 of my bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law and myself and every single person looked amazing and the make-up lasted throughout the entire night! She is the sweetest, kindest and most thoughtful person in the world!! Thank you so much!!

I can honestly say that I have never felt as beautiful as I did that day, thanks to Christy! She is very down to earth, and professional and very highly recommended. I can't say enough good things about her, and I hope to have her do my makeup again!

ning emails and phone calls; arrives on time; and listens to the wishes of her brides and clients. I am one of those people who don't wear a lot of make up. After having several makeup trials with other artist and looking like a pin up girl/hooker I finally called Christy. She made me look naturally beautiful and I felt like myself but prettier. The makeup lasted all night and the pictures came out gorgeous. Several of my friends have used her and also fallin in love. She is definitely the best in town!

was engaged, she told me to "hurry up and book Christy Edlin, the best at bridal make-up artist in Austin!" My friend had used Christy for her wedding and as soon as I saw my friend's wedding pictures, I called Christy and booked a consultation. Meeting Christy for the first time was like hanging out with the sweet sister I never had. Christy wanted to know every important detail about the big day and was able to create exactly what I envisioned myself looking like on my big day, and added her own unique, and subtle glamorous touch to make me look like me, but stunning! I do not wear a lot of make-up on regular basis, and Christy's magical make-up knowledge and artistic eye made me look more radiant and picture perfect. I looked better than I had ever imagined and I love my wedding photos! Christy is not only the best make up artist I have ever seen, but she is also the nicest, generous person I have ever met. The day of my wedding Christy gave me a limited edition Chanel blush that the company stopped making years ago because it was the blush I wore on my big day and she wanted to make sure I had it. Her heart is totally in tune with your wedding wishes and she made me feel so beautiful and cared for every time I met with her! She even plucked my eyebrows as a favor during the six months leading up to my wedding. Christy is without a doubt, the best thing to ever happen to a bride on her wedding day. Prepare to feel completely relaxed while in Christy's make-up chair on your big day! Her service is above and beyond and you look more beautiful than you could have ever dreamed! Christy will be my make up artist, and friend, for life!

artists. When she was done, I looked in the mirror and asked her to darken my eyebrows and she did it-where most makeup artists would be offended that you were "too picky" she was happy to adjust. The makeup she uses is not cakey or heavy and truly lasts all day without having to touch it up. I recommended her to a friend of mine who also used her for her wedding makeup and my sister will be using her on her wedding day as well. I would recommend her to anybody who wants to look amazing on their wedding day!

nows just how to make someone's features look incredible. She is able to create a look that is just like your normal self except better. You on your best day! However, she also listens to her clients to understand what type of look they are going for, how they usually wear their makeup, whether the wedding is inside, outside, day or night. We did the trial a month or so before my wedding and I loved the look, but felt like there were a few things I'd prefer a little more or less of (darker lips just because I usually like more lip liner, less eyeliner under my eyes just because I usually don't wear liner under my eyes). She made note of everything, and was able to incorporate my changes into her work flawlessly so that the makeup looked beautiful both in person and pictures. Her makeup is not too heavy or cakey. Very natural. It didn't wear or run off. Christy is incredible. You will be nothing but pleased with her work!

y nerves you may have! I had her for my bridal portraits and the actual wedding day and I have honestly never felt prettier. She knows exactly how to apply the makeup so that you will photograph beautifully. She highlights your strong features and can conceal your inperfections without looking like you are trying to hide something. You truly feel like you aren't wearing any makeup, but it lasts ALL DAY. My wedding day was 98 degrees in Texas, so I was really worried about sweating it all off. I had my makeup applied at 11:00am and my photos were just as beautiful at noon as they were at 8:30 that evening! I truly could not have been happier with Christy and I refer her to everyone that is in need of a makeup artist for their special day! Thanks Christy!

bridal portrait make-up, rehearsal dinner make-up, wedding day make-up, and a few months later, my make-up for a family photo shoot. I have had my make-up done before by various people for different occasions, and Christy is by far my favorite make-up artist. No one has ever made my make-up look so good, yet natural, where I have never felt more beautiful. She has a way of enhancing your natural beauty and adding that extra oomph for your special occasion. As an added bonus, Christy exudes great warmth and generosity. On the cold day of my bridal portraits, Christy went beyond the call of duty when she helped me with a last minute veil placement "crisis", and tried to lend me her gloves for the cold photo session. She previously taught art to h.s. students for many years, so she has a great eye for color, composition, etc. She is truly an artist, and it shows. If you choose Christy as your make-up artist for your big day, you will be very pleased with her work and her personality. I cannot say enough good things about Christy!! She will make you look and feel beautiful.

and do my makeup for the big day, but ever since Christy did my makeup, I have been encouraging everyone to invest in this wedding vendor! I have never felt like makeup made me look so much like myself and yet enhanced beautifully. My wedding photos and engagement photos (makeup by Christy as well) are so much more precious to me--her beautiful makeup job made me feel so confident and look my best. Christy will work with you to make your day perfect with all kinds of helpful tips beyond makeup! (I use many of her makeup and skincare tips now a year later!) She herself is a beautiful person who was wonderful to work with. Thank you Christy!

beyond and even remembers the little details. Not to mention my makeup looked wonderful! She listens to what you want and delivers. I am not much of a makeup person, so she did not pile on the makeup, she just made me look beautiful. I cannot wait to take lessons from her, so I can get that flawless look every day!

y sister, my mom and my makeup for the big day. I had Christy do my makeup when I did pictures with David Nuese in high school and knew that for my wedding day I wanted Christy to work her magic. The makeup lasted ALL night as we danced into the morning hours. The best part of getting your makeup done with Christy is you look amazing but you still look like yourself. She also gave me a goody bag of supplies for the big day such as mints, lipstick that she used on me and other wedding day essentials.
