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 differ...
ent 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, an...
d 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. H...
er 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-coordina...
ting 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!

uestions 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.
