Couldn’t recommend Christina more! She was so communicative and made the whole process super easy -- provided clear timelines and expectations. This was actually my third time working with her—she did makeup for both of my sisters’ weddings too—and she nailed it every time. Book her early—she fills up quick!
Christina was an absolute dream to work with. I have only had my makeup done professionally a few times before, and was a bit nervous about the process for such an important photo day. Christina brought my vision to life perfectly and was just so fun to chat with during the day (and the trial)! She also did the makeup for my mom, aunt, and cousin (all of whom had never had their makeup done professionally) and everyone raved about her. So grateful for Christina making this such a wonderful experience!
Christina did my makeup for my July 2025 wedding. She started the process with a very detailed & thorough questionnaire. That would be my first glimpse into her extremely detailed process. She asked about skin concerns & preferences which exemplified how client-focused she is. We did a trial at her beautiful studio space where I saw how amazing she is with makeup. She immediately made me feel comfortable in her chair. She was extremely organized and made sure to document all of the different products we used. During my wedding day, I decided that I wanted to go with a lighter lip than we tried during the trial & she was able to think on the spot and find something that complimented me so well. She made me feel so beautiful & confident on my wedding day. The look lasted all day even in the heat. My bridesmaids & MOB were also so happy with their makeup. Due to the number of bridesmaids I had she brought a second artist with her who also was incredibly talented. Having a second artists ensure we got everyone done on schedule. Before we left for the venue she provided us with little touch-up bags which everyone thought was incredibly thoughtful. Christina is truly a master at her craft & I am so happy she was able to do my makeup for my wedding.
Christina is an absolute gem! She did an incredible job on my wedding day, not only for me but also for my bridal party. Her talent, professionalism, and calming presence made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Coming from someone who doesn’t normally wear makeup, I was a little nervous about how it would turn out—but Christina exceeded all my expectations! She took the time to understand my vision and gave me a look that was both flawless and natural, perfectly complementing my dress and the overall vibe of the wedding. She personalized each look to match different skin tones and preferences, and everyone raved about how stunning they felt. Multiple bridesmaids told me this was the best makeup they’ve ever had done, and they’re already planning to hire Christina for their own weddings! (whenever that time might come). If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is skilled, patient, and a true joy to work with, I can’t recommend Christina highly enough.
Christina is the BEST of the best!!! Not only is she incredibly talented but she also has the most calming, down to earth (yet fabulous) personality! She made me feel so comforted, taken care of and went above and beyond. I wanted a natural makeup look, to feel like myself but more beautiful for my big day and she totally delivered just that (but way better than I could have ever imagined!!) I cannot recommend Christina enough!!!!
I've never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, all thanks to Christina. After having a trial and not loving the results with another makeup artist, Christina was readily available and responded quickly when I reached out about 3 weeks prior to my wedding in a slight panic. She was able to hold a trial within a week and the rest was history. From my inspiration pictures of what I wanted to pictures showing what I didn't want, Christina was able to make my vision become reality. Christina's professionalism, timeliness, willingness to work with me, and extremely kind heart made the morning of my wedding day so relaxing and a breeze. My makeup was everything I had hoped for and more. My bridesmaids, my mom, and mother in law absolutely loved their makeup as well. Christina even spoke Spanish to my mother in law! Christina was worth every penny and I hope I get to work with her again in the future. If your a bride looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and professional makeup artist that can turn your dreams into reality, Christina is your girl!!!
Christina was the best make up artist I could have asked for on my wedding day! She was super easy to work with and was extremely professional and responsive. She made adjustments based on our trial and my wedding make up was better than I could have ever imagined. I recommend her for any make up needs, 1000%!
I had such a great experience working with Christina for my wedding! She is incredibly talented and made me and my bridal party look gorgeous while still feeling like ourselves and not looking overdone. She totally understood the vision and executed every single time. If she is available definitely book her- you won't be disappointed!
I cannot recommend Makeup by Christina G enough! She made me look and feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. She took the time to understand my vision and created a look that was not only flawless but also made me feel confident and comfortable. Her calm and professional demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better artist to be by my side on such an important day. My entire wedding party was thrilled with their make up as well. If you want to feel your best and most beautiful self, Makeup by Christina is the one!
Christina is the absolute best! I couldn't imagine having anyone else do my makeup for such an important moment. She is very professional, extremely talented and a great support to have during such a stressful time. She not only made me look like the most glam bride, but made my mom and mother-in-law look amazing as well. I can't recommend her enough!
There are not enough glowing things to say about my bridal glam and Christina. She traveled all the way from Southern New Hampshire to South Kingstown RI to make my vision come to life. If you know me, the "natural bridal look" is not my thing. I've always been a makeup and FULL BEAT type
of gal, which is why I knew I HAD to book Christina the SECOND I was engaged. She is the only person I would trust with the most important makeup look of my life. She took my vision and exceeded every expectation I had. She made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt, and all of my bridal party gushed about how much they loved their makeup. My makeup did NOT budge all night after hours of sweating, pictures, and dancing. Not to mention, she is the most beautiful human inside and out. She is willing to accommodate all makeup styles from natural glow to full beat! Now if she would just move in with me and recreate my bridal look everyday.....
An incredible makeup artist AND an incredible human! I had the pleasure of working with Christina for my wedding day in September 2023. She fully mastered the "me but elevated and glowy" makeup look that held all day long, even through a tropical storm. I truly didn't want to wash my makeup off at the end of the night!! Christina is professional, detail-oriented and knows the world of skincare and makeup inside and out! She is flexible with any adjustments you want to make between your trial and the big day, and takes meticulous notes during your trial. She effortlessly mastered multiple looks for my bridal party's makeup, from different skin tones and textures to ages. In addition to our stunning wedding day looks, what really sets Christina apart is she has the most peaceful, serene vibe and the best laugh! It made getting ready with her SO fun and enjoyable - your makeup artist is one of the first people you will see early on your wedding day, so for me, someone with great energy was a must! She kept all of us running on time, even other vendors (the morning will fly!), looking naturally glowy and feeling hyped. I highly recommend getting on Christina's calendar for your wedding day - she will elevate your look in the most "you" way and bring the most serene, fun vibes to your day!
We hired Christina for our wedding in Gloucester in July 2023 and I cannot recommend her enough. I was extremely particular with hiring vendors thanks to the plentiful photos available on social media/reviews, which is why when I came across Christina, I was excited that I found what I was looking for. Christina is beyond talented and met all of my expectations for my wedding day. Christina’s energy is captivating, not only did she bring her talent to my trial and wedding day, but she brought her calm, confident, and professional demeanor. It felt like an old friend was with me getting ready. My wedding party loved her, too. Our looks were all flawless, we all looked like “us,” but special, more beautified versions. I felt so stunning which helped my confidence for my wedding. Our wedding day was hot and humid and our makeup stayed perfectly in place from our sunny first look on the beach to our very sweaty last dance of the night. Our guests commented on how gorgeous our makeup was, especially noting how amazing we looked versus caked-on makeup many people see at weddings. My mom was very hesitant to have her makeup done professionally, and after her experience with Christina, she can’t believe she ever considered not feeling extra beautified. Christina even put together a little "emergency kit" for anything that may be in need of a touchup throughout the night [but I didn't even need it because she was THAT good!]! THANK YOU, Christina!! All your future brides are so lucky.
I first had the pleasure of working with Christina when she was the makeup artist for my sisters wedding in 2018. Of course, when I got engaged Christina was one of the first vendors/ bridal professionals I reached out to! Not only is Christina amazingly talented and a consummate professional but she puts you at ease. She is kind, patient and fun to work with. She was so helpful in fielding all of my questions and concerns not only leading up to the wedding but on the day of. My entire bridal party looked and felt amazing! Having had the opportunity to work with Christina twice now, I think it’s fair to say she is an honorary member of our family! I cannot recommend Christina enough.
Booking with Christina was one of the best wedding day decisions I made. I wasn’t exactly sure what look I was going for. Christina was patient, consultative, and I truly appreciated the recommendations she made during my trial. She had such a calm demeanor on the day of the wedding and my entire bridal party found her easy to work with and were so pleased with her work. Looking back at my pictures, I couldn’t be happier. Simply said, she’s a talented professional who I would highly recommend to anyone.
Absolutely loved working with Christina! Extremely talented, very kind and professional! I booked her for my wedding in June 2022. My maid of honor, my mom and my 2 bridesmaids all loved their makeup as well. It was an extremely hot day and everyone’s makeup lasted all night! I had asked her for a more natural look and she delivered - I loved that I still felt and looked like myself on my wedding day. Absolute pleasure to work with, I highly recommend her!
Christina is incredible, she helped me figure out my vision for my makeup from the start. Her trial was informative, honest, and beautiful. On the day of my wedding, she surpassed all my expectations. Not only my makeup look fantastic, but so did my entire bridal parties. She did amazing work on a huge range of skin tones and textures. Plus, I got married in the thick of a HEAT WAVE in AUGUST and somehow everyone’s makeup beat the heat and the tears. I’m so thankful to her and wish she could do my makeup for every major life event!!
Christina is incredible! From the trial to the day of the wedding she was such a great partner and so organized. She listened to everything I was hoping to achieve in my look, and I was so in love with my makeup for the Wedding. My Mom, MIL, and Bridesmaids all loved their makeup, and everyone looked and felt stunning throughout the day! I couldn't recommend Christina enough, and can't wait to use her for future events!
Christina is the best! I was lucky enough to have her as my makeup artist for my July 2022 wedding. From the initial call, Christina was super responsive, accommodating, and excited to learn about my vision. The day of the wedding, she arrived early to make she could set up the bridal suite to accommodate myself, my nine bridesmaids, and various family members. She and her assistant were able to complete each of our looks with plenty of time to spare. I could not have been happier with how my makeup turned out. It was exactly the "light glam" I had envisioned - I got so many compliments throughout the day! I highly recommend Christina!
I loved having Christina as our makeup artist for our wedding day. From my bridal trial to the day of, Christina was extremely organized and fun to work with. We were able to come up with a bridal look together that was even better than I ever imagined. My mother, mother-in-law and bridesmaids all LOVED their final looks and felt and looked stunning all day and night. I would definitely book Christina for your wedding, you won't regret it!
Christina did my makeup for my wedding as well as my mom’s maid of honor’s, and mother in laws. None of us wear a ton of makeup, so the experience was pretty new to us. Christina is incredibly talented, and so so kind. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, listening and creating exactly what we wanted, and making sure that we were all 100% satisfied and touched up before she left. Christina is incredibly talented, personable, and was so fun to have with us listening to music and just enjoying the wedding morning. She worked wonderfully with our hairstylist who she had never met, and just made the whole morning so relaxing. I can not get over how talented she is at what she does, and I would 10000% hire Christina time and time again if given the opportunity. If you are considering hiring her for your own wedding, I cannot encourage you enough to do so, you won’t regret it!!
Having Christina be a part of my wedding day was the best decision I ever made! I had my makeup trial in June on a 100 degree day, and after being on a boat all day my makeup still looked flawless. She absolutely exceeded my expectations on the wedding day as well. Christina did the makeup of all of my bridal party and mothers (total of 6 of us), and everyone felt and looked stunning. She recreated the exact look I was going for and everyone else's looks totally complimented their best features. She was extremely professional, easy going and is so easy to talk to. I cannot rave about or recommend Christina more!!!
I had my makeup done by Christina for a previous wedding I was in and when my big day came I knew I had to have her!! Christina is a true professional who did the most amazing job on mine and my bridal squad's makeup. Christina made me look and feel beautiful while still keeping it natural. I would recommend highly recommend Christina, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
Christina was a true professional when it came to my makeup trial to the wedding day. She balanced glamming 6 bridesmaids and myself the bride. Her attention to detail is fantastic, she is personable, knows products and KILLS the lash extension game. I got so many comments on how amazing my makeup was ALL night long. I would recommend booking Christina early, cause she’s the best in the business.
I’ve had my make up done by Christina for two weddings and both times it was exactly what I was looking for. For my wedding, I couldn’t have asked for a better make up artist. Christina is professional but fun, and she definitely knows her stuff! My bridesmaids also loved their makeup and it looked so good in photos. I would highly recommend Christina!
Christina is absolutely AMAZING at what she does and is so great to work with! She did the makeup for my sister’s wedding and I was so pleased I had her for my wedding and she did such an incredible job. During the trial she goes through different options and asks questions to ensure you are completely pleased with the results. For both the trial and the wedding day I didn’t want to wash my face. If you want the best makeup experience for your big day, Christina is your gal!
Christina couldn't be any better at what she does. After meeting her four years prior to my wedding, when she did our makeup at my sister's wedding, I knew I needed to have her do my own bridal makeup some day. Fast forward four years later, and Christina was the first vendor I contacted once I had a date set. She's truly a master of makeup but also such a downright beautiful person and admirable woman. Christina listened to my vision, browsed a few of my inspo pics I showed her, and then delivered beyond my expectation. I've received so many compliments on my bridal look and I owe most to Christina!
My mother-in-law and her sister were nervous to get their makeup done, as I've truly never seen either of them wear a drop. I assured them if there ever was a time to get it done, it's by Christina. Sure enough, they were both ecstatic with their results; Christina listened to their wants and enhanced their natural features so well. We started getting ready at 7:30am, and after an entire day in 85 degree heat and cruising around on a windy boat, everyone's makeup was perfectly intact at the end of the night. I remember not wanting to wash my face off at the end of the night because I was loved the look so much.
Her work speaks for itself, though. One of my favorite things about Christina is her calming aura and demeanor. As antsy as I was all morning and unable to sit still, I distinctly remember sitting in her chair and finally feeling relaxed for the first time that day. She's so patient and non-judgemental; total opposite of some other stuffy, snobby makeup artists I've gotten done by in the past. You'll leave wanting to be friends with her, believe me! Cannot recommend Christina enough!
I was given Christina's contact info by a close friend who recommended her - it was definitely the best recommendation I got for a wedding vendor. She did make up application for myself, MOH, 4 bridesmaids, and both of our mothers by herself. Her timing was managed well and kept us on schedule, she helped bring a calmness to a busy morning and was very friendly, and everyone's make up looked fantastic. I've had my make up done for different events and by far she has done the best job of anyone. My make up lasted well into the afterparty without wearing off or smudging and I was even sad to wash it off that night! Hopefully I will get to work with her again some day, I highly recommend her.
I cannot begin to express how happy I am to have chosen Christina to do the make up for myself, my mother and my bridal party. She is not only extremely talented but truly was a pleasure to work with! Wedding planning can be stressful-coordinating all the little details but I did not have to worry at all with Christina. She was extremely organized from the start- she communicated quickly and efficiently with all the necessary information and even provided helpful tips for scheduling and things to do before to prep your skin. Christina has a very calm presence the day of which is so refreshing especially in the hustle and bustle of the day. I trusted her completely-she was right on schedule and everyone looked amazing! She used quality products that make your skin feel amazing. She is very knowledgeable about each product used has introduced everyone in my bridal party to some of their new favorite products! Her passion for makeup and making women feeling good is contagious. Not one person felt like their makeup was ‘heavy’ and they all looked gorgeous until the wee hours of the morning when we ended the night! I was accidentally splashed in the face with champagne and still the makeup was flawless! One of my favorite things about working with her was that her passion for makeup and making women feeling good is contagious. As someone who has always struggled with self confidence she makes you feel comfortable and beautiful in your skin both before and after her work! I have received so many compliments about Christina’s work from my bridal party and even from my other vendors on how truly awesome she is! HIGHLY recommend booking her for your special day!
Christina is the best! It's clear that she is so passionate about her work, and wanted me to feel and look my best. She listened to the look that I was going for and the results were even better than I could have imagined. She also did wedding day makeup for my mother, mother of the groom and bridal party. Everyone was ecstatic with how their makeup turned out. She uses high quality products, and our makeup still looked flawless by the end of the night. She is also super efficient and very easy to communicate with. She really is a true professional and insanely talented. Highly recommend!
Christina is AMAZING!!! So incredibly talented! I absolutely loved my makeup, and all of my bridesmaids looked gorgeous too! She is so easy to work with and on the wedding day is so great. She always remained on time and made everyone feel super comfortable. She also adjusted on the fly when someone didn’t want a lot of makeup or has a request. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking! I did multiple trials with other makeup artists and could never find the good quality I needed that would last all night until going to Christina :)
Hiring Christina for my wedding was the best decision I made. I was a little nervous about my trial and within minutes of meeting her I was completely comfortable and so excited. Christina gave me the exact look I was going for, and blew my expectations out of the water. I am so grateful for her, and will DEFINITELY be using her again in the future. Thank you for making myself and my girls look amazing on my wedding day.
I met Christina through a recommendation and it was the best recommendation I got! She was incredible to work with and just nailed the exact look I was going for. She was a pleasure to work with and did all the make up for the bridesmaids, and mothers and everyone looked absolutely stunning.
Christina is SO talented! Christina was easy and fun to work with, she did both my engagement and wedding photos. She was responsive and easy to get in touch with. Christina listened to the vision I had for wedding makeup and made it absolutely perfect. My mom and the rest of the wedding party were also thrilled. I felt so beautiful!! Christina really listens to your style and makes it a reality. She’s an artist and just overall amazing!
I'm so happy I went with Christina for my wedding day makeup. She truly captured what I had envisioned for my wedding day look! She was so professional and easy to work with. She was on time and worked so well with my bridal party. Christina made me feel like an absolute princess! All of my bridesmaids and mom were so happy with the way their makeup came out! Everyone looked STUNNING. I would recommend her a million times over!
So happy with my wedding look! I’m a girl that doesn’t wear a lot of makeup or if any at all on a daily basis. But with Christina’s advice and experience she made me comfortable and feel like the most beautiful bride. She’s just wonderful to work with! Christina also worked with my friend who got married in May, and she looked stunning on her wedding day! I would recommend her to ALL brides! She’s an artist !
Christina did the makeup for my wedding and believe me when I tell you she is the BEST!!! I’m so picky about my makeup (as is my family) so I was a little hesitant initially but after meeting Christina for the trial I knew I had made the right choice!! Christina is so talented, professional and sweet and really listened to what I was looking for. I have never felt more beautiful- thank you so much Christina you’re truly amazing!
Thank you so much to Christina for doing an amazing job with all the makeup for my wedding day!!! Christina is awesome and her attention to detail is great! She is so kind and helpful and always comes prepared and on time! I never wear a lot of makeup, so I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for with my makeup for my wedding day. After talking with Christina, she made me feel so comfortable and she worked together with me to come up with a makeup plan! She made me look amazing for my wedding day! She also did makeup for my wedding party and made them all look beautiful! I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for an amazing makeup artist! Thank you again to Christina for being so awesome!!!
Christina did my make up for our engagement photos and our wedding day and she's amazing! She did makeup for me, 5 bridesmaids, my mother and now mother-in-law. Everyone's makeup was stunning and looked beautiful in pictures. My makeup had a beautiful natural look and feel and lasted all night. It is clear that Christina is passionate about what she does and it shows through her work. Christina was a breath of fresh air and fun to work with, all my bridesmaids commented on how pleasant she was to chat with while they were getting their makeup done. I would highly recommend Christina and would jump at another opportunity to book her.
Overall I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Christina and would highly recommend her.
So glad I went with Christina , she is absolutely amazing at what she does ! My makeup was everything I wanted for my wedding day . She was such a joy to work with and so sweet ! Highly recommend .
After having our original makeup artist bail on us, I was so nervous when looking for a new one!
But from the beginning Christina was so responsive to all my questions and emails! She made all my nerves go away, and I knew I was in good hands. We had our trial a few months before the wedding, Christina made sure I was 100% happy with the completed look and made sure to write down everything she used (which I loved)!
Fast forward to the day of the wedding, Christina was on time and came completely prepared - she took her time with each and everyone of us and made sure we loved our looks and still felt like ourselves!
Thank you Christina for being so professional, fun and talented! We all looked and felt so beautiful!
Love,
Lauren Cossette 9.28.18
Christina was an absolute asset and a Godsend to have by my side during my wedding day! In advance of the wedding, she had me share a number of ideal looks that we could match to my bridal theme, dress and overall decor. She knew exactly what questions to ask me to be sure I targeted the right effect without being too dramatic with the makeup design. She also worked diligently with me on creating a wedding day schedule, as I had 11 bridesmaids and she knew my day-of-stress would be better satiated with a schedule.
A few months before the wedding, we met for a trial of my ideal “looks”. She gave instruction on eyes, lips and overall face shape to ensure I was completely comfortable with the results. Come the day of the wedding, she was at the house bright and early, excited and smiling, ready to start the day. She was perfect in her execution of all of my bridesmaids. Their makeup was flawless and unique to reflect each person’s personality and style. My own makeup was phenomenal as well and lasted all evening long!
If you are looking for an amazingly hard working, talented and FUN make-up artist for you wedding/event, look no further. Christina was a highlight of my wedding day and a lifesaver when it came to a stress-free, beautiful day.
Christina is SO talented! My makeup was perfect for our wedding day. Christina was easy and fun to work with. She was responsive and easy to get in touch with. Christina listened to the vision I had for wedding makeup and made it absolutely perfect. My mom and bridesmaids were all thrilled with their makeup as well. I felt so beautiful!!
Christina really listens to your style and makes it a reality. She works quickly, but doesn’t rush through her work. She’s an artist! I have so many wonderful things to say about her! She's amazing.
