Cristina is absolutely amazing! I have known Cristina for years through my mom and when I got engaged there was no question that I was going to have her do my makeup. I didn't even have to have a trial with her since she has done my makeup previously and I knew that she would make me look like an absolute princess on my wedding day. Cristina is one of the best and I will continue to use her whenever I need my makeup done.
Cristina was absolutely amazing to work with along with her 2 assistants. Our entire wedding party got compliments on our make-up all night. Cristina really took her time, was not rushed, and made sure to ask me if there was anything I wanted to change. I can’t wait to continue to use her for future events!
Words can’t describe how amazing my makeup looked. Cristina is so talented! Whether you want airbrush or traditional makeup, she makes both look beautiful. Her specialty is eyes. I can’t even explain how amazing she made everyone’s eyes look! Her pricing includes lashes. She’s that perfect mix of wedding style makeup, but not going too over the top. She really knows how to enhance someone’s beauty. And again, she easily changed dates due to covid and didn’t charge us anything extra. She was so nice and laid back! Our makeup lasted all day, even in 90 degree heat with tons of sweat :)
Cristina was a referral from a friend and I am so happy I went with her. Everyone looked flawless all night and Cristina was even able to accommodate my mom who decided last minute to get her makeup done.
Best makeup ever! Cristina was amazing through the entire planning process. Her makeup stayed on all day and night! She was a joy to work with. I highly recommend her!
Cristina made my entire wedding party look SO beautiful! They’re still telling me to this day, “we all felt so pretty!” Really good job with the makeup!! Absolutely loved it
Absolutely amazing experience! Loved working with you for my special day and hope to have the chance again for future events. Thank you so much for my beautiful look!!
Cristina is the best makeup artist you will ever find.. the makeup she did for myself and my bridesmaids and mom was absolutely flawless and she was able to get it all in exactly as scheduled.. she is amazing and I would highly recommend her and not look anywhere else when it comes to your makeup
I absolutely loved everything about my makeup when i had my trail months back that i knew Cristina was the makeup artist to go with. She made myself and whole bridal party, including mother of the bride look flawless. Everyone loved their makeup. Airbrush stayed on all day as well as others just getting non airbrush makeup. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and a HUGE part of that is because of Cristina. I wish she could do my makeup every day. I had 11 people getting hair and makeup and she powered through us quickly with still making sure to get to every detail.
Cristina did an incredible job on my makeup as well as for the makeup for my entire bridal party. She is so talented and did a beautiful job, making me feel stunning, but still myself. She did quite a range of people, including myself, my mother and mother in law and my 95 year old grandmother --- and made us all look stunning! Also, with her experience, she knew just had to line up our bridal party to ensure as the bride, I had plenty of time for pictures, which I did!
Cristina did my make-up for my September wedding and there are not enough words to describe how truly wonderful she is. I had been to 3+ trials prior to meeting with Cristina and I can honestly say no one else can compare. I have never felt more like a beautiful princess than I did on the day of my wedding! She is extremely personable, professional and reliable. Cristina also did my mother, MOH, and bridesmaids make-up. Everyone looked flawless. Her work speaks for itself - it is one thing to have talent, but Cristina really pushes herself above and beyond. I never felt pressured, she never bothered me with too many emails or phone calls. I would definitely recommend Cristina and cannot wait to have her do my makeup for future occasions.
I can’t say enough good things about Cristina and her work. She is a true artist! I got married in 9/17/17. Cristina did the makeup for my sisters wedding years earlief so when my time came, I knew who to call. She is absolutely amazing. I felt like the best version of me on that day. As a bride, that is so important. I had makeup done in the past by others but I always felt like I didn’t look like myself. Cristina made me feel absolutely stunning. All my bridesmaids were raving about her. To be honest, many of the girls said they looked better that day than on their own wedding day! I HIGHLY recommend her. You will not be disappointed. I will never EVER get my makeup done by anyone unless it’s her. Thank you for everything Cristina- you are the best of the best.
Let me just tell you...... best makeup my girls and I ever had done. My bridesmaids & mother in-law could not say enough about Cristina!! They absolutely loved their makeup on my wedding day. My makeup, I have to say, looked stunning!!! Everything was flawless! I got so many compliments on my makeup that night, especially my eyes!! Everyone, including myself, loved how Cristina did up my eyes. I’m trying to think of a reason to get my makeup done by Cristina again!!! I highly recommend!
Amazing! Cristina is truly an artist and you can tell she loves what she does.. because she does such beautiful work! I used Cristina for my September 25, 2015 wedding, after my initial trial I knew I didn't need to see anyone else. Cristina came down the shore to get myself and 9 other girls ready for the wedding. Everyone was extremely happy with their look! I received so many compliments and so many people have requested her information. When I look at my wedding pictures and video I feel so good abot how everything looked, I wish I could look like that everyday! It was picture perfect and didn't feel heavy or overdone. It also last ALL night. She is the best and you will NOT be disappointed if you book with Cristina!!!!
I found Cristina from a recommendation of a friend. I booked a trail with Cristina and knew before she finished the trial that I would be going with her for my wedding makeup. Since the trial Cristina has done my makeup for other events and each time she does an amazing job and everyone is always asking who did my makeup! Cristina then did my wedding on July 21, 2017 for myself and 10 bridesmaids. Everyone was blown away at the job Cristina did on their makeup.
Cristina listens to what you want and gives her suggestions as she goes along. She is amazing and I will be using her for years to come :)
My friend recommended Cristina to me for my wedding day makeup. I usually like to find a service through recommendations so I am so glad I listened to her! Cristina is a true artist. I had a vision of what I wanted my makeup to look like that day and before I can even finish telling her it's like she knew exactly what I wanted! I could not have been happier with how it looked and I looked just as good at the end of the night! Not to mention she did an awesome job on my bridal party and some family members as well. Cristina also has an awesome personality as well as very professional. Look no further for your makeup artist! You will not be disappointed.
Cristina was my makeup artist on my wedding day. She did myself, my mother and my 4 bridesmaids. Cristina was on time, prepared and very patient with all of us. She did wonderful work. Made us all look flawless. She truly has the talent for makeup. I highly recommend her. I actually only go to her now to get my makeup down.
Cristina did my make up for my wedding in 2008. Although it was some time ago she was my favorite vendor and I have sent all my friends to her since. My make up was flawless and timeless. She really knows how to make you feel absouletly beautiful. She is creative, professional, quick and most of all reliable! My favorite vendor by far.
Christina did my make up, my moms make up, and my bridal party of 10 girls make up for my July 2014 wedding! Everyone looked beautiful and flawless! My make up stayed on all night and she was very accommodating as far as schedules and coming to where we all were getting ready. I would recommend her without regard!!
Cristina is beyond talented and she provides the ultimate experience for any bride and their bridal party. The temperature on my wedding day was over 100 degrees, and my makeup stayed perfect all day! Cristina strives for perfection, and makes every bride feel beautiful and special on their wedding day. I wouldn't trust my makeup with anyone else!!
I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day! From my trial to the big day Cristina made me feel like a princess. I was so happy with how she airbrushed my makeup and it stayed perfectly for the entire day. My mother is almost 70 years old and was complimented al night about how young she looked. Cristina is a true professional in the industry and has expertise. She knows exactly how to make each woman shine. She is also extremely professional with her communication and reliability! I could not be happier I chose her!
Cristina is a true ARTIST! Her makeup styles always include the latest trends while still focusing on classic beauty. She recently did my hair for my engagement party and I cannot say enough good things. She listened to my ideas and created a flawless look. I received compliments ALL NIGHT! She makes the bride feel so great!! I'm so excited for my wedding day with her as my makeup artist!!!!!!!
Cristina did my makeup ( and my bridesmaids) for my wedding a few weeks ago and I couldn't have been happier!! She is so talented and does such beautiful work -- definitely would recommend because you will not be disappointed! - Lauren
Cristina did my makeup for my October 28, 2012 wedding. She came to my house early in the morning to do myself, my moh and my mom's makeup. I had one trial with Cristina beforehand and as soon as we were done I knew she was perfect. Shr achieved the look I was going for without making me feel like I was wearing a ton of makeup. I got so many compliments on my makeup from my girlfriends throughout my wedding day. They loved the look Cristina created for me and how flawless it looked. Some of the pictures that I have seen already look fantastic and my makeup stands out without being overly dramatic. Cristina is a true artist and I would use her again in a heartbeat.
Cristina did my make-up for my May 19th, 2012 wedding. In addition, she did my mother's, sister's, mother-in-law's, sister-in-law's, and my best friend's make-up. Everyone was extremely satisfied with the end result. I can not say enough about what a beautiful job she did! From 11 a.m. until 3 a.m. my make-up was flawless and remained that way until I washed my face before bed. If you're considering airbrushing, Cristina is clearly a professional who knows her make-up and what's best for her clients. She is honest, knowledgable, and very talented. I would definitely recommend her AND have her do my make-up for future occasions!
Cristina is an artist with her makeup brushes. She is a must have for ANY wedding!!
Cristina was amazing! I went to her for a trial a few weeks before the wedding, and since I don't wear much makeup regularly, I didn't really give her specific information as to what I wanted. As everyone always says, she told me it would seem like way more than was necessary because it was meant to last the day. After a few hours, I decided it was just too much. However, I was fully confident with her skill and expertise and now had a better idea of what exactly I wanted (which was basically a lighter shade of lipstick and less blush, but exactly what she had done otherwise). For the day of my wedding, she arrived early and immediately started my mother-in-law's makeup (I was not even back from my hair appointment yet). My bridesmaids and I were beyond happy and looked gorgeous. She is definitely a talented makeup artist! I would recommend and use her over and over again. Not only did I adore her for her amazing personality, but her work clearly speaks for itself.
I did airbrushed makeup and it looked flawless! it lasted from 11am to 3am! My girls looked beautiful as well- 1 of them did regular makeup and hers lasted just as long as the airbrushing! My mom looked absolutely gorgeous and was very pleased! The makeup really suited each person's facial traits and coloring and didn't wash anyone out or make anyone look like they had caked on makeup. I highly recommend!
