Cristina was amazing!!

Cristina was incredible! She went above and beyond my expectations for a makeup artist! She made the whole experience stress free and comforting(during Covid). She was understanding and extremely flexible with dates when we had to postpone due to the pandemic. Her and her assistant were professional and so kind, I highly recommend!
