Made me (and my party) feel & look beautiful

Christina Choi was so lovely to work with. When she's doing your makeup, she makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the world. I loved our trial session--I brought the makeup I use on a daily basis, we talked about what kind of look I wanted, we did some experimentation, we talked about longevity and did color matching, etc. Before the day of, she coordinated with our day-of coordinator to come up with a schedule for my bridal party/family and made everyone up so beautifully. It was important for me to look glam but like myself, and looking back at the photos, Christina definitely achieved that. In terms of longevity, my makeup lasted all day through two ceremonies from 9am - 11pm in terms of foundation, lashes, and color. Through pictures, my sister powdered me once in the afternoon around 3pm, but that was it (which is shocking because it was 100+ degrees). I reapplied the lip product after eating.

Another special thing is that as an Asian person, it meant a lot for Christina to do my makeup because I felt that she really understood how to do my makeup, how to work with my monolids; not to mention she has tons of experience prior with BareMinerals and her own namesake makeup line. If I were based in SF, I would definitely try to go to her makeup tutorials and workshops!

I had an incredible experience with Christina Choi. She was a godsend on my wedding day. She gave me a beautiful, dramatic, but natural look that made me look glamorous but still feel like myself. I got so many compliments on that day and still do now, weeks later. Aside from her expert makeup artistry skills, Christina is very kind and listens carefully to what her client wants. I had had to fire the makeup artist I previously hired, so I was nervous and tense about using a new makeup artist on the wedding day. But, Christina acted like both a professional and a friend, and calmed my nerves while applying my makeup and lashes with a gentle hand. My makeup was comfortable and going strong, with no fading or creasing, after a 14-hour day! Christina also did my mother's makeup, making her look naturally beautiful--it was like seeing my mom as she was 30 years ago. I should also mention that Christina has her own line of beautiful color cosmetics, and I know from first-hand experience that they are top notch. It was a pleasure and honor working with Christina and I hope to do so again!

Christina was absolutely fabulous!! I was able to have a trial with her a few months before the wedding and she took the time to really make sure I was comfortable with my look. I really didn't know what I wanted for the wedding day look and Christina helped me decide exactly what would look best on me. She really is an artist. And I can't forget to mention her great line of cosmetics; they are fabulous! My mom adored Christina too!! She was very flexible as I kept adding girls to the make up schedule and she brought another amazing make up artist, Mauro, to ensure everyone could be done in time for the wedding. Couldn't have gone smoother and all of my bridesmaids and moms were very happy.
