I loved having Cristina do my makeup for my wedding! She did such a great job and did exactly what I wanted - her colleagues Molly and Lurissa also did a great job on makeup and hair so we were all happy and relaxed the morning of the wedding. I would highly recommend her and her team!

Cristina Rivera is truly a master at her craft. My son got married in Cooperstown, NY and she travelled from Albany with a hairdresser and truly worked wonders on me, my granddaughter, and friends. Not only was our makeup gorgeous, and our hair do's beautiful, but her grace and warmth made our session enjoyable and fun. I not only recommend her but will call on her for any special occassion that requires classy makeup.

Cristina and her team are beyond amazing! I am so glad we booked our hair and make up with Cristina for myself and my 7 bridesmaids. Your hair and make up is the first thing you get done on your special day and I couldn't have imagined a better experience than what we had with Cristina. I'm also so happy that I went with the airbrush option, my make up was flawless all day and didn't budge! I could not recommend Cristina and her team more highly, she is a rockstar and would totally kick start your special day feeling beautiful!

I liked how Cristina did my makeup for a wedding I was in. It was glamorous yet not too much and didn’t look caked on. She was also personable, so easy to talk with. Another thing I liked was that she always warned you when she was applying near your eye when they were closed. I have had other makeup artists not do that and it scares you! I would recommend Cristina.

If you are looking for someone who is professional, AMAZING at make-up, and kind-Cristina is who you need to hire! I went to Cristina for my October 5th wedding. I had actually hired someone else but after my practice run, it was evident that the original makeup artist had no clue what she was doing. Luckily, my sister found Cristina and she was still available for my wedding! I was SO nervous about trying a new makeup artist since the first one went so poorly. I will tell you-right from the beginning, it was clear that Cristina is not only good at her job, but passionate about it. I honestly felt like one of my long-time friends was doing my makeup. I showed her pictures that I liked and she was able to do it with no issue. On the day of the wedding, she worked her tail off, talked with my crazy family, and overall, was an absolute pleasure to work with. If I ever need makeup done again, I will absolutely go to Cristina! SHE IS WONDERFUL!

Cristina is simply the best! She takes her time and listens to what exactly you want and will give you just that! She’s super easy to talk to and she helped make my day so special. My makeup lasted all day without having to reapply anything and showed flawlessly in all the pictures! Wouldn’t have it any other way! She’s a true professional!

I consider myself to be pretty picky about my make up and Cristina went above and beyond my expectations. She made me feel beautiful and not only that, she was very easy to talk to. I highly recommend her.

Cristina was amazing from start to finish! She did full bridal airbrush for me for my engagement photos and then my wedding, plus makeup for all my girls. We all looked STUNNING because of her. She has fair prices and an awesome personality! Wouldn’t use anyone else!

As someone who never wears makeup, I waited until the last minute to book someone for my wedding day, hesitant at first. Christina was incredible in really listening to what I was looking for and paused every step of the way to check in with my comfort level and and listen to feedback. She is truly a magician! I was nervous that makeup on my wedding day would make me look like someone else, but Christina brought out the flawless best version of myself I couldn't even imagine. I am so grateful for her patience and the magic she worked on me and my girls that day. I have never felt so comfortably beautiful! It really shows her professionalism and how she can easily transition from a subtle natural look to full face cover model depending on her clients wishes.

My wedding was held on October 28, 2018 in Little Falls, NY. Cristina was my makeup artist for the big day and I could not have been happier with anyone else! Cristina made me look and feel as beautiful as I could have ever imagined! She traveled with all of her makeup gear and essentials almost 2 hours to our venue and made sure she gave plenty of time to perfect the makeup of my maid of honor and myself. She ensured we were completely thrilled with the results-She is not happy unless you are! My makeup lasted all day and night! Through tears of joy and working a sweat up on the dance floor, I still looked flawless at the end of the night! Thank you Cristina, from the bottom of my heart!

Cristina did my makeup for work video production and she did amazing! She truly enjoys what she does, and wants you to look and feel like your most beautiful self. She is fun, caring, and great at what she does, and I would absolutely recommend her for any event or wedding.

Cristina did my makeup for a wedding I was in this past summer. She was AMAZING! She is the perfect balance of professionalism and fun. Cristina makes you feel comfortable in her chair and in her hands, and you feel genuinely beautiful (and natural!) when the makeup is complete. I couldn't ask for a better makeup artist. I HIGHLY recommend her!!!! <3

Cristina was heaven sent! She knew better than me what I wanted. She was right on time and ready to roll with anything. She has the best personality and is just amazing at what she does. I could really tell she was passionate about her work and the end result was proof. I got tons of compliments, it was exactly what I wanted and it lasted ALL day...in July...in a church with no AC and it held up through the many tears of joy I shed! Impressive to say the least. Cristina thank you for making me feel like a princess on my special day! ❤️ Jazmine
