MakeMeUp by Christina Kaian

Christina and her team are AMAZING!!! From booking to the day of my wedding Christina kept in touch with me and updated me on everything! Her work is absolutely amazing as well as her other makeup artists! I cannot recommend Christina and her team enough. My makeup as well as my bridal party's makeup was flawless and lasted all night!

They are amazing! Everything was so easy and no stress. Highly recommend booking MakeMeUp!

Christina from MakeMeUp is so responsive and amazing from start to finish! It was so easy to book, and when it became close to the wedding day she accommodated my requests for the schedule so easily. I requested that Sam do our make up for the wedding day for me and my girls because she has done my makeup before at another wedding :) and she absolutely knocked it out of the park, again!! Everyone loved their makeup and looked so beautiful and I was so in shock at how she executed exactly what I wanted. I’ve never loved my make up more- i felt so confident but still like myself on the wedding day and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience!! Thank you Christina andr Sam!!

Christina and Stephanie are both incredible people and so sweet and made me and my girls feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup so I went into this not knowing a thing about what I wanted to do for makeup besides finding inspo from a few Pinterest pics. I wanted something natural but still wanted to feel like a princess and Christina absolutely delivered. My makeup lasted all day and I have never felt more beautiful! Stephanie did the makeup for a few of my girls and they were all so happy with how they looked. Christina and Stephanie were so fun to hang out with and vibed with everyone the entire morning. They made it feel like friends hanging out and not like we were just clients. I couldn’t have asked for a more talented and professional team to do my makeup on such a special day. I would choose MakeMeUp again and again - I highly recommend! 10/10!!!

Christina is so sweet and so talented and truly made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!! There are so many to choose from in RI and I would choose her over and over. Her team is top notch and all (10) of my girls looked so stunning and felt it too!!

I cannot thank Christina enough for the FLAWLESS work that she produced on my wedding day with my makeup!! Even not feeling well, she still took the time to drive 1.5 hours to me and make sure that I had the makeup that I wanted for my special day. It takes a certain person to put everything aside and still show up for someone, and Christina is that person. From my trial to the day of, she made me feel and look like a princess and I couldn’t be happier with choosing her as my makeup artist for the day!! THANK YOU for listening to what I wanted and putting in the time and work to ensure that I got just that. There are plenty of things that people stress about on their wedding but if you book with Christina, having the most perfect wedding day glam will NOT be one of them!!

Christina did my makeup for my September wedding. I could not be happier with how it turned out and how it held for the entire day and night (even though our wedding day was during a hurricane!!!). She and her team were so professional, talented, and fun to hang out with. I highly recommend!!!

MakeMeUp did makeup for myself, 7 bridesmaids, & 3 moms on my wedding day & everyone LOVED their makeup. Christina was super responsive via email & very fair in pricing. Stephanie was our lead makeup artist & she was incredible on the trial day, as well as the wedding day. Not only is she super professional & skilled, but she has the best energy & made the experience so fun. Highly recommend!

I went with MakeMeUpRI for my wedding after having been a bridesmaid at 7 other weddings. MakeMeupRI did my makeup as a bridesmaid for 2 of those weddings, and as far as bridesmaid makeup went, they clearly were the BEST - across the board on all girls too! When it came down to my wedding, there was no question that I was going with MMRI - one of my top “needed to get” vendor for sure! They have this thing down to a science and are true professionals. I went with Christina (owner) for my wedding, and while I do think any other artist would have done an incredible job, I was so beyond happy I did - best decision! I had a trial first (which I highly recommend) and Christina followed up with me a few days after to take notes for any changes I had (all minor!). She clearly prioritizes her client’s happiness, and wants to make sure you LOVE your look for your wedding day. On the morning of the actual wedding day, I trusted Christina inherently with the amount of blonzer/blush ratio (something I always overdo on my own oops), knowing what photographs best. She was 1000% right and my makeup looked flawless in my photos (and in real life too!!!). Not to mention, Christina is truly one of the kindest people - the morning of the wedding when all the craziness was going on behind me, Christina truly chilled me out and was so refreshing to hang with for the hour that you have to just sit and do nothing (only time all morning!) while getting your makeup done. I’m so grateful for her that day! I know the other girls on the team are awesome too and the bridesmaids /MOG/MOB absolutely loved their looks, and looked stunning. MakeMeUpRI for your wedding makeup is a no-brainer - from bridesmaid to bride, they are the best in the industry!!

MakeMeUp was recommended to me by MULTIPLE friends and they did not dissapoint! Not only was Christina extremely communicative, she was so friendly and easy-going during my trial and I felt like I had known her for years. She also went above and beyond and squeezed me in for a makeup trial the morning of my bridal shower! Prior to my wedding, Christina organized a schedule for all of the girls that were getting makeup done and coordinated with my hair services to make sure everything was accomodated for. On top of all of this, her and her team were so professional on the wedding day and I absolutely LOVED my makeup. She was the ultimate hype-woman and made me feel so beautiful on such a special day. Christina, I cannot thank you enough!

I had seen MakeMeUp by Christina Kaian on Instagram long before getting engaged, and thanks to that I knew I'd be reaching out when planning my wedding. Christina was so responsive and answered all of my questions throughout the process. I was lucky enough to have Fatima do my makeup. From the trial and on, Fatima listened, checked in with me every step of the way, and was so easy to talk to. I LOVED my makeup on my wedding day. I can't say enough about Fatima's talent! Fatima and Tiziana did my bridal party's makeup too. Everyone was so happy with their makeup and we all had time for touchups at the end!

Thank you to Makemeup by Christina Kaian for the stunning makeup artistry for my wedding! Our artists, Fatima, Alex and Marissa, were amazing! Christina and her team were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process, from pre-booking to makeup trials to the wedding day. All 14 women in our group looked fantastic! We received countless compliments throughout the evening, along with many inquiries about who did our makeup. Fatima did my mom’s and my makeup for our trial and on the wedding day and we were thrilled with the results! We highly recommend Makemeup by Christina Kaian. Thank you again for making all of us look great on this special day!

Christina was absolutely phenomenal to work with! She and her team made myself and my bridesmaids look out of this world beautiful. My trial confirmed how much talent she has - she even followed up with me after to see how the makeup held up throughout the day (perfectly), and to see if for the wedding day if any changes needed to be made. She had even remembered the exact lip shade we used during the trial so I could pick it up before the wedding. She is so friendly and truly makes you feel so comfortable. Everyone looked great all night - thank you again!!

Steph & Jillian did an incredible job with my makeup, my bridesmaids, and my mom & mother in law. They listened to exactly what you wanted and executed perfectly. Christina was amazing to work with in terms of planning and scheduling. I'd highly recommend hiring them for any wedding or special event in the future!

Christina was wonderful to work with for my April 2022 wedding and I absolutely loved my makeup! It looked amazing from morning to night and was exactly the bridal look I wanted. MakeMeUp was recommended to me by my photographer and from the moment I reached out, I knew I had to book with Christina. She is incredibly talented, organized, detail-oriented and responsive. She first brought my vision to life during my trial, checking throughout the process to make sure everything looked and felt great to me and then following up with me the next day to confirm. On my wedding day, Christina and Katie provided makeup services (both traditional and airbrush) to 9 of us. They were an incredible team and actually kept us ahead of schedule! It felt like having two friends in the room with us who kept the vibe fun and stress-free. *Everyone* loved how they looked and said it was the best makeup they’ve ever had done. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

After being in my best friends wedding and having my makeup done by Christina, I immediately contacted her for my own wedding. I am so grateful she was available for my wedding date. Christina and Alex were patient, professional, and on time. My whole bridal party looked amazing and were SO happy with how their makeup turned out!

I have gotten my hair and make up done quite a few times but have never felt prettier than with Make Me Up RI! I used them as a bridesmaid and knew I had to book them for my own wedding. Christina is so nice, caring and truly wants you to feel like a princess on your big day. My bridesmaids and the moms also raved about the work this team did.

Christina’s team was absolutely amazing! They were professional, punctual, and pleasant. Shelby and Fatima made me feel like a queen on my wedding day!! They outdid themselves!! ❤️

I had the good fortune of working with MakeMeUp twice this year, once as a bridesmaid and once as a bride. Both experiences were fantastic! In both settings, EVERY girl was thrilled with their look. The variety of makeup and hairstyles was perfect for each girl's personality. MakeMeUp was flexible with me, helping me to find my ideal look for the wedding day. I absolutely recommend you utilize this fantastic vendor!

Christina and Shelby were amazing! Christina was super responsive through the whole planning process and was able to answer any question I had. My bridal party looked amazing and I've never felt so beautiful!

MakeMeUp is simply incredible. My girls and I were blown away by the pure talent of the glam squad on my wedding day. They nailed the looks for each of us and we had so much fun getting ready! Fatima, Jillian, Kauri, and Angie were a dream team who perfectly executed the look and style each girl requested. Fatima actually did my makeup twice - once for my pandemic wedding and then again on my big day. Both times, she really made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. Communication with Christina was easy and clear - she was kind and helpful throughout the planning process. I highly recommend MakeMeUp!

Katie (makeup), Sam (makeup), Kerri (hair) and Nicole (hair) from Make Me Up RI did such an amazing job on my wedding day! Christina and team were so accommodating and flexible; close to the wedding, it was determined that we would need another stylist and Christina was able to arrange this. The team is also so responsive and professional! Katie and Kerri were my bridal stylists, and I could not be happier with how I looked and felt that day. I could not recommend them enough!

I had a great experience working with MakeMeUp for my 12/18/21 wedding. Christina is extremely professional and easy to plan with. Her team is exceptionally talented at what they do. I had a particularly amazing experience with Caitlin at my trial. I was absolutely amazed at the look that she created. On the wedding day, we had a team of 2 to take care of 12 people getting their hair done. Both stylists showed up on time, got set up, were super kind, professional and kept us on schedule all morning. Between the 12 people, there were all kinds of hair styles being requested - updos, half up/half down, braids, etc. Each hair style came out just gorgeous - everyone looked so elegant! I can’t thank MakeMeUpRI enough for the incredible experience.

There are no words to express how incredible Christina and her team was for our wedding on 12/18/21. First, I absolutely LOVED my look as the bride. Christina and Marissa listened to everything that I wanted for my look, and it was absolutely perfect. I felt so confident the entire night. My bridesmaids and the mothers looked just as fabulous as they did at 11 am at 1 am!!! Christina and her team are so wonderful and I recommend any bride to use them for their wedding. I can’t say enough good things!! Thank you so much MakeMeUp for making me feel so beautiful on the most important day of my life!

I used Christina and her team for hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party, and I couldn’t have been happier with their services! I have never felt so beautiful, and my bridesmaids looked stunning. Christina and her team went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy with their hair and makeup. Christina was straightforward to work with, and I found it helpful that she sent you a hair/makeup times schedule for your bridal party a few days before your wedding. She allotted the perfect amount of time where no one felt rushed, and we could have fun while getting ready. I also want to thank Marissa, one of Christina’s hairstylists, for doing a fantastic job on my wedding day hair. I was most anxious about my hair, and Marissa achieved precisely what I had in mind. Book Make Me Up by Christina Kaian if you want great wedding hair and makeup. I would 100% recommend her services to any family member or friend.

Worked with Christina for our wedding, she came on site and did makeup for myself and 6 bridesmaids with another artist, Tiziana. They both did a great job and everyone was happy with their makeup. She is incredibly knowledgeable and talented. The trial was amazing and she tried traditional and airbrush makeup to see which I liked better. I highly recommend her services!

I cannot thank Christina enough for how beautiful my bridesmaids and I felt on my wedding day! We felt like elevated versions of ourselves and I feel that is so important for a wedding. My mother in law didn't didn't take it off for 2 days because she loved her makeup so much!! Her and her team were so professional and their calming presence was appreciated during such a big day. I would highly recommend hiring MakeMeUp by Christina Kaian for any occasion!

I have now used MakeMeUp by Christina Kaian on several occasions and have been nothing short of impressed. This is a team comprised of many different creatives and although I have worked with different makeup artists, I have yet to be disappointed! From bridal shower to wedding trial and wedding, my makeup has looked flawless and I have gotten so many compliments! Bianca did my makeup for my wedding and I was obsessed! The other important thing I would like to note is how professional and organized this business is. Christina was extremely responsive despite how busy she is and she made the most organized schedule for hair and makeup for day of to keep everyone on track. Not only was she responsive, but I was impressed that she provided a refund at that last minute for my sister in law who had my niece the week of the wedding and couldn't make it! This was something she was not expected to due especially with such last minute notice but it was so appreciated. I can't say enough good things and will absolutely be utilizing this company again in the future and can't wait to work with them again! If you're looking for a talented team who is responsive and who you do not need to worry about on the day of your wedding or during the process, this is the one for you!

I used the MakeMeUp team for my 9/6/2021 wedding in Newport, RI. From the very first consultation with Christina and her team, I knew they were on top of their game!! She is so organized and time efficient - which is key for weddings. She did listened and delivered exactly what I wanted for my wedding hair and makeup, and it turned out so beautiful and lasted all day and night. Her and her team are so professional and organized - we had a group of 12 that needed hair and makeup done on a strict schedule and we were AHEAD of schedule which was a dream to keep the wedding timeline. I can't recommend this team enough!!! Absolutely amazing!!!

Christina and her hair/makeup crew were incredible!! I mean we all looked amazing that day!! Christina is amazing to work with. So organized and responsive. She was able to coordinate an amazing makeup team and then I last minute needed a hairstylist and she was able to help me with that also. I was impressed by the professionalism and the high quality work. I am so glad I went with MakeMeUp!! They are amazing and a pleasure to work with!!

Sam and Alex were amazing. Highly recommend!! Very easy to coordinate with and very very professional.

Stop everything you are doing and hire this team. I simply have no words to express my gratitude for Christina & her team. Christina (and her whole team) are just the definition of perfect. Mornings of getting ready are obviously very stressful, and I probably would have been a wreck if it wasn't for Christina's calming presence and voice. She is so polite, calm, honest and just soothing to be around. And the makeup & hair.... oh the makeup and hair. I wish I could post a picture of what I looked like at 7:30 am and how I looked nearly the same at midnight -- despite being outside on the Rhode Island Coast with vicious winds that ripped by veil out many a times.... this team is full of miracle workers. My entire bridal party and my mom all stated they'd never felt prettier before ... my MOH had such a bad HMU experience at her wedding, she really was hesitant to get anything done again.. and she was blown away and so remorseful she didn't have a team like this on her special day. Oh..and get the airbrush!!!!!! No better vendor than these ladies.... book them now!

We had an excellent experience with MakeMeUp RI. We had one hair stylist and one make up artist for 6 people on our wedding day. It was so nice to be able to choose our team based on our style. Christina was professional, and very easy to work with. Everything was very well organized. The team arrived on time, and everyone was ready with plenty of time. Pricing was definitely reasonable for the industry. We would absolutely recommend MakeMeUp RI.

I loved my makeup for my wedding. I had Fatima and Patience doing the makeup for myself and my girls and they did such a great job. Patience was great with my mother in law who was a little nervous to get her makeup done. She left her chair feeling great about her makeup and I was very appreciative with the way Patience was so helpful and “patient” with her. Fatima did my makeup and I felt so beautiful and natural. Exactly how I wanted it! I couldn’t have ask for better makeup artists! I was so happy with how everything went and would recommend them to anyone!

MakeMeUp is highly in demand for a reason. My bridal party and I all loved our makeup, and couldn’t believe how well it lasted through a 95 degree humid day at an all outdoor wedding! I had Sam for my bridal makeup and can’t recommend her enough.

Christina was amazing to work with, very responsive, and always communicating with me. Her team on the big day did an incredible job on our makeup! They were so fast and efficient for 11 people! They listened to my bridesmaids, MOB, and MIL, and did exactly what they each wanted! Thank you for making everyone feel so beautiful on such a special day!

Christina made me feel so beautiful on my special day. She made sure I loved my look multiple times as she was applying my makeup. My makeup lasted all day ! She is very organized and replies back to emails in a timely manner. Her makeup team is so efficient and very personable. My whole family has used her team for their weddings as well.

Make Me Up did mine and my bridal parties hair and make up for our wedding on May 22,2021. From the beginning, Christina was so professional, she respond quickly, was thorough and answered my questions throughout the entire process. The hair and makeup woman who came on the day were excellent, I could not have been more impressed! I would highly recommend!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina and the entire MakeMeUp team. I absolutely loved my wedding hair/makeup and thought my bridal party looked stunning! Christina and her team do an incredible job at making you look glamorous, but still like yourself. The hair/makeup artists made getting ready a blast and were kind, accommodating, and professional throughout. I would recommend MakeMeUp to anyone!

I cannot thank Christina enough for providing myself and my bridal party with such a wonderful, kick ass team of professional women on my wedding day. I had quite a few girls for hair and makeup (13) and I can confidently say every single one absolutely LOVED both their hair and makeup services. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous and incredibly natural. Jessica and Jenna made me feel so beautiful on my long awaited wedding day - they both really hit it out of the park and they were so great to work with. I wish they could do my hair and makeup everyday! Thank you again Christina!

Christina was amazing to work with. She is not only extremely talented but is so nice and has a calming presence. She and Katie did a fabulous job on everyone’s make up. All of my bridesmaids were raving about them and how their make up was perfect all night long. Do yourself a favor and book her and her team!

Let me start off by saying that due to COVID, our wedding was rescheduled 3 times! Christina was so patient with helping me reschedule and find a date that worked best for us. Christina's communication and response via email was quick with detailed answers to all my questions. Due to my rescheduled wedding, I was unable to have Christina as my make-up artist, but Katie and Sydney did such an amazing job!!! I truly have never felt so beautiful in my life. The schedule making..... Christina is a professional. That is not to be forgotten when choosing Make Me Up RI. The timeline for myself and my wedding party of 8 was sent to us far in advance which helped plan for hair and a stress free morning. Thank you Christina, Katie & Sydney for all your beauty services and support during an exciting yet stressful time with COVID.

We had an amazing experience we had with Sam and Jessica from Make Me Up on Saturday. I was also very impressed by the communication with Christina leading up to our big day even when the plans changed dramatically due to COVID. They both were early, prepared and organized. They were both so pleasant to have in the room and sweet to chat with as we were all getting ready. It was truly so lovely to work with them. Everyone there has a different style and they did a wonderful job making sure that everyone was happy with their look. I am a very natural person and do not typically wear makeup and I was so pleased with the way that Sam did my makeup. I felt like myself, but a little fancier, which is exactly what I wanted. I am absolutely obsessed with the way that Jessica styled my hair. It came out so beautiful! A few of my bridesmaids wanted a more dramatic make up look and Sam did an amazing job on those looks as well. We all had different hair styles and they all came out perfectly and stayed beautiful throughout the night, even with taking photos in the rain. My mother in law can be rather particular and they both handled her perfectly. Jessica was so patient listening to her describe what she was hoping for with her hair and checked in many times to make sure she would be happy with it. Sam was also incredibly patient and accommodating with her. She went above and beyond to ensure that she was happy with the way she looked, even when she changed her mind at the last minute. She was so kind and accommodating to her. I was also so impressed by how on schedule they were. They made sure to keep things moving and get everyone done on time. Even our photographer was impressed that everyone was pretty much ready when they arrived. I cannot say enough good things about both Sam and Jessica. I so appreciate how wonderful they were to all of us. We will absolutely be recommending this business in the future!

Christina and her team are amazing!! Christina was booked for my wedding but Fatima did such an amazing job on my makeup and Kauri perfected my wedding hairstyle! I am so happy I had a trial and was able to make some minor adjustments before my wedding day so it came out perfect the day of! Christina was so accommodating when I had a few last minute additions to hair and makeup! She is so organized and makes the schedule for hair and makeup for the bridal party which made the morning run so smooth! My hair and makeup lasted all night!

Christina and her team are amazing!! Not only are they extremely talented, but they are the sweetest girls, very professional and organized. Christina did my makeup for my June wedding and Caitlin did my hair. I am so happy with the way everything turned out, it was exactly what I envisioned. Caitlin did an awesome job on my bridesmaids as well. Could not thank Christina enough!!!

I was extremely happy with my hair and makeup for my big day! Fatima and Nicole did a fantastic job. I did two hair trials with Nicole and she was so sweet and willing to make adjustments and tweaks I wanted to get just the right look. On the day of the wedding my hair came out perfect, exactly how I imagined AND it stood up to rain and windy weather during photos! Fatima did a wonderful job on my makeup too. It was gorgeous while still looking natural and not like 'too much'. I don't typically wear much makeup so I didn't want to not look like myself for the big day. Fatima got it exactly right and I was so happy with it!

Christina and her team did an amazing job for my May 2021 wedding. Christina was my primary point of contact from start to finish. She responded to all my emails promptly and professionally. I had the pleasure of having Kauri do my hair, my mother’s, and the bridal party. She was professional and amazing to work with. She was detailed and accommodating to everyone’s request. Kauri went above and beyond to make sure I looked amazing on my special day. She was very creative and knowledgeable and knew how to make our hair stay perfect throughout the night. Best decision I made was booking MakeMeUp RI for my wedding! Christina and Kauri exceeded all my expectations!

MakeMeUp by Christina Kaian helped me, my mother, and three bridesmaids get ready for my wedding! Christina will be your primary point of contact from start to finish as you plan and execute your wedding. She is easy to work with and prompt in responses. The five of us girls were assigned Marissa for hair and Stephanie for makeup. Prior to the wedding, I had a trial with both Marissa and Stephanie to discuss options and execute a trial run. Both of the girls listened to me, gave ideas, and got it right on their first try. On the day of the wedding, both of the girls arrived on time and finished on schedule. They happily accommodated moving the schedule around when I wasn't feeling well so I could rest up. They both listened to my girls and provided them with the hair and makeup they asked for and more! Everyone was happy with their looks and how it held up through out the day. With 5 girls to get ready, Stephanie arrived at the hotel first at 8:10 to get set-up. We started the getting ready process at 8:30 and was done by 2:00pm. Each girl received ample time to get their services done so no one was rushed. We loved the girls we were assigned and were happy we got to work with them!

Bianca and Nicole were phenomenal for our wedding day hair and makeup! They arrived promptly at the designated time and got to work quickly putting everyone at ease and building trust. They listened to each person and made them feel like a movie star. From our mothers who have short hair, to the brides with very long hair - Nicole was able to work with each persons hair and style preferences ensuring they felt comfortable. One of our friends had their hair done in the morning and by wedding time it had held up so well! Bianca was equally impressive with her makeup skills. Each person looked stunning and the makeup did not look overdone at all. Bianca and Nicole worked so quickly that we had time to squeeze in makeup for one more friend. So efficient and set us up for beautiful photos as the hair and makeup photographed so so well. Highly recommend MakeMeUpRI for all your makeup and hair needs!!

Christina and Kauri were the makeup team for my wedding yesterday and I cannot sing their praises enough. They’re extremely talented, professional and overall awesome as individuals! Not only did they do a wonderful job on my hair and makeup but my mom, sister in law and mother in law looked so beautiful. And as a side note but nonetheless important note, both my hair and makeup held up the entire evening without any issue. I truly could not be more pleased!!!!

Wow what an AMAZING experience! Hiring MakeMeUpRI for my wedding day was the easiest and best decision I made! Christina was extremely responsive and professional from the very start! She answered all of my questions and made the booking process so easy! She also put together a wedding day schedule to use as a guide to keep everyone on track! She is so organized and because of this the day of my wedding ran so smoothly! She was not available for my wedding day but her amazing team was! I had Fatima, Samantha, Shelby and Jessica! They made me and all of my bridesmaids feel like supermodels! Shelby and Fatima did my hair and makeup and I have never felt more beautiful! Everyone was sooo happy and loved their looks! I even had several guests comment on how everyone looked gorgeous and I have already referred 2 friends to them for their weddings! I can't thank MakeMeUpRI and her team enough! Dream team!

Christina has the best team! Steph, Fatima, and Caitlyn did such a great job at my September wedding! They traveled to Foxwoods and everyone was so professional. So thankful to be able to have such an amazing team!!

What a talented group of women! Christina was a pleasure to work with and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Nine of us had our hair and makeup done and every single one of us loved it all! Plus, all four of the hair and makeup artists were kind and personable, such a joy for the morning of my wedding!
