A Makeup Magician!
Cristal is a consummate professional, and I can’t recommend her enough! She is a true artist – creative, knowledgeable, skillful…and a generous and great listener. She responded to my request almost immediately and was so sympathetic when I told I needed help concealing a black eye and an unsightly scar. I had a bad fall two weeks before my daughter’s wedding and was in a panic. She was so reassuring -- and so skillful -- no one could tell I had an injury. Cristal understood immediately what I wanted as mother of the bride – to look polished, glamorous, confident and beautiful. She succeeded on all fronts. Thank you, Cristal!! -

Cristal is a magical makeup artist - Book her !
I am so grateful I found Cristal for my wedding makeup. She is an incredibly skilled artist, reliable, beautiful soul, kind, patient, down to earth, professional, and someone I miss connecting with after all the wedding planning and day of have passed. I initially picked her from reviewing her before and after pictures and that choice was one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning for myself. She applied my makeup 3 separate times leading up to and for my wedding and I can’t imagine using anyone else when wanting to look my best in professional photos. Not only because of her stellar work, but because of her positive energy and sweet personality while doing so. I felt like a princess on her special chair and her makeup was in such clean and organized condition.
Usually I apply my own light quick casual makeup, and knew that was not going to be enough. I did not want to regret photos because of lack of makeup skill or relying on photography touch up. I needed to feel confident, and have one thing I didn’t have to worry about on my wedding day. Cristal did all of that and more. She made me look naturally beautiful and her makeup held up the entire day. I could trust her to recreate her work and make me look exactly as I was hoping for in photos. She was such a blessing on my wedding day -I will never forget the comfort she brought me, as she got me ready for the man of my dreams. I cried my heart out at the first look with my husband and she touched it up (re did her amazing work) in perfect time for the ceremony. My bridesmaids and mother looked gorgeous all day as well, due to her expertise and lovely detail on the bridal party. Even the last photos of the night my makeup was intact. Magic!
If you are on the fence about booking her, please be reassured you are making the best decision by trusting Cristal with your face. I attached photos of myself from my wedding day - as you can see the raw emotions:) my sister able to let her guard down and me gaining a friend.
Thank you Cristal -

The absolute best
Just stop looking through profiles and hire Cristal.
Cristal is amazing! I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day. She also did make-up for 5 of my friends, we have all been in weddings before and had make up professionally done before - we all agreed this was the best we've ever looked or felt.
She did my bridal make up trial, my rehearsal dinner make up, and my wedding day make up. Every time was great, she's responsive, she changes things if you want them to be different, she listens, and she also has great instincts and knows how to compliment your features.
Also she is great energy! She is sweet, calming, funny, easy to talk to and just puts you at ease. I am so grateful I had her on my wedding day.Cristal Stephani Makeup Artist's reply:
Thank you Kate! It was a great pleasure being a part of your wedding day and the special moments along the way. I'd do it all over again and again because it was fun! I wish you and Dylan all the love, happiness, and adventure! Thank you again :) -

Excellent!!
Cristal was the most talented and most lovely makeup artist I could ever have asked for on my big day!! She really listened to me when I expressed the look I was going for, got excited about it, and made it even better than I could have imagined. I had a trial with someone before her, but Stephani blew the other artist out of the water. She is so incredibly talented, hard-working, and in addition such a lovely, kind and fun, down-to-earth person to chat with. She did a great job on all my bridesmaids, was very professional. So happy to have had you there Christal!! ❤️ Thank you. -

AMAZING - couldn’t recommend more
Wow - I was blown away by Cristal’s skills, demeanor, and proactive communication. She did an excellent job with the trial - She was very open to feedback and did a great job translating my vision into the perfect look, even explaining how I could parts translate into my daily routine.
100% of my group loved their looks too. Leading up to the wedding day, Cristal was proactive friendly and knowledgeable. On the wedding day she helped keep us on schedule while also offering a sense of flexibility and calming presence. Couldn’t recommend her more - check out her IG to get a sense of her skills! -

I was a stunning bride
Cristal was so understanding during the wedding process having to postpone and change dates due to the pandemic and the California wildfires. She listens and pays close attention to details. She is fun and it was great to talk to her about star wars. I looked amazing for my wedding day. Can't thank her enoughCristal Stephani Makeup Artist's reply:
Star wars, yes! ;)
Angelia, if I could do the entire planning process with you again - I would! I truly enjoyed every step of the makeup planning with you. You are one of the most beautiful brides I've seen and most thoughtful clients I've worked with. Thank you for a great experience and for taking the time to leave your feedback. Take care ! -

Artist who actually listens
Worth ever penny and more. I'm very picky and don't like it when makeup artists do my makeup however they feel comfortable and not as I've requested. I love that Cristal completely listened, understood, and created the exact look I wanted for my special day. She matched my foundation seamlessly and made me feel completely comfortable in my own skin. She was adept and professional and did everything with such finesse that I felt calm amid the chaos - in a word, perfection.
I highly recommend her to any woman who wants to look their absolute best effortlessly. -

Cristal has craftsmanship!
I trusted Cristal with one of the most important days of my life- my wedding day. Previous to that, she helped with my make-up for my engagement shoot. Both times I was exceptionally happy with the results. Cristal took her time, she planned accordingly so that the process did not feel rushed in any way. We had a trial run for my wedding day, which helped tremendously narrowing down the look I wanted. I shared photos I found online to give her a visual of the type/look I envisioned. Cristal was very open to my vision and provided her own feedback based on her experience, my skin type, skin tone and face shape.
On the week of my wedding the anxiety and excitement manifested itself by way of a huge pimple on the left side of my face!! (I know, a brides worst nightmare!! ). By the day of the wedding, the pimple had simmered down but I burned the skin around it with over-applying salicylic acid. Cristal worked her craft and basically made it disappear!! (I will upload a photo of the area during make-up application before it is finished and one of that side of the face after make-up is complete). I was so happy and thankful!
I appreciated how meticulous Cristal is with detail, down to the hygiene! She takes pride in the cleaning of her brushes and it is visible.
My overall experience/s with Cristal have been very pleasant. She is professional and knowledgeable in her craft. I truly highly recommend her! I personally have her in my phone book for any future make-up services I may need.-

100% would rehire-Skilled, adaptable, communicative, kind!
Working with Cristal was one of my best wedding decisions. From trial appointment to email and text communication through to day of support, I always felt confident Cristal cared and was curious to understand how to make things even just a little better for me. After my trial appointment she followed up to get even more feedback, and she purchased products to ensure she could complete my look perfectly on the big day.
When my Mother-in-law didn’t love her lipstick color, Cristal warmly and quickly supported her feedback and swapped out her look for a new lip color. She made a genuine and welcome effort to get to know us, and quickly felt like a special member of the group.
My only hesitation when reviewing Cristal’s portfolio and website was that all the makeup looked heavily applied, and I default to a no-makeup/barely there look. Cristal’s ability to take that baseline and still enhance my look was perfect. From my mom to my husband to my best friends- everyone commented that she nailed the ‘enhanced but not overloaded’ make-up look I’d hoped to achieve.
From here on, I’ll eagerly recommend Cristal to anyone looking for high end makeup application. She truly delivers! -

She is amazing
I would highly recommend Cristal. She is an amazing make up artist and she made me look great on my wedding day along with my bridesmaids and mom.
I have tried five other make up artists trials and she was the only one that didn't make me feel like I was wearing a mask and feeling like I looked like myself. She really listens to what you want and gives great direction. I would book her again for future event. -
