    Christina is THE best

    Christina is THE BEST! I had never had my makeup done professionally before, and from the trial to wedding day, she made me so confident and made me feel like THE most beautiful girl in the world! She is so patient, kind-hearted, and listens to all of your wants! She is very knowledgeable with makeup and has great advice, yet, wants to make sure it is the exact way you imagined. She is SO dang talented at what she does. I am so thankful I chose Christina for my wedding makeup. My family/wedding party loved her! She was a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough! Her work speaks for itself, but trust me when I say, you will not regret having her as your MUA!

    Beyond Incredible 🤩

    From booking, transparent pricing, and responsivness to showing up exactly when she said she would and having just the best *vibe* for lack of a better word, Christina was absolutely the best vendor choice I made for my wedding!! She made me and all my ladies (mostly aunts / grandmas / moms) feel soooo pampered and special while always listening to them and not ‘overdoing’ anything! My mom and aunt are *still* raving about Christina two months later and wish they had another wedding to plan just to book her again!! As for my bridal makeup, Christina listened to my vision and gave me exactly the look I was aiming for on my special day!! Again, best vendor choice of the wedding by far and would absolutely book her again and absolutely would aggressively recommend her to my friends!!!

    Incredible!!

    Christina was nothing short of amazing for both my trial and wedding day. She is the sweetest and most down to earth human being to speak to. She did my trial back in 2022, which was also for my engagement shoot, and made me feel like a queen. The wedding day in 2023, she went beyond the trial. Not only myself but my bridesmaids and the moms looked absolutely stunning and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much to Christina and her team. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

    Wedding Makeup with Christina!!

    Christina did an amazing job on my bridal makeup as well as the makeup for my bridesmaids and the mothers. Everyone kept telling me how beautiful they felt after getting their makeup done and my mom was almost in tears because she was so happy with how it came out! I really cannot thank Christina enough for all she did making sure I had the exact look I was envisioning for myself. She is so easy to work with and talk to and even brought a speaker to start the party while we were all getting ready (we forgot ours too…oops). I 100/10 recommend Christina for any makeup needs and look forward to working with her in the near future❤️

    Beautiful Makeup

    Christina was so responsive and easy to work with. I did a trial with her and am so happy I did. We were able to discuss what we wanted to change/keep the day of the wedding and it came out absolutely perfect. All of my bridesmaids enjoyed working with her and loved how their makeup looked. I highly recommend Christina. You will not regret it! She is worth every penny.

    The Best Make Up Artist!!!

    Christina is truly a dream to work with!! Her professional and bubbly demeanor makes the whole getting ready process so much fun and she really takes her time to make your vision come to life! Her make up skills are by far the best that I have seen and I’ve been a bridesmaid 11 times. She made my dream wedding look come to life and made all of my bridesmaids look so beautiful! She’s also excellent at hair as well as she did my hair and make up for our engagement photos as well as for my rehearsal dinner and bridal brunch! If you are looking for a phenomenal artist then look no further because Christina is the best of the best!

    Excellent!

    Christina is the best!! She did my make up and hair for my pregnancy announcement photos and it was absolutely perfect. She is extremely talented, professional, has great communication, and overall such a kind person! I would definitely recommend Christina to anyone looking to get their make up and/or hair done for their special occasion!

    The best!!!

    Christina was the makeup artist of my dreams! I found Christina prior to her moving back from the west coast & despite the chaos that comes with moving, she was always quick to respond, answer all of my questions, & get the planning process started. I had never had my makeup professionally done prior to my wedding, and Christina made me so comfortable & kept things fun. Her work is stunning, photographs beautifully, and lasts all night. She works quickly (she was even able to squeeze in a n extra bridesmaid in addition to my 9 girls already!) & the quality of her work shows how creative, detail oriented, and experienced she is. From my engagement session to boudoir shoot to my wedding day, I am still in awe of how fabulous she made me look & feel! I am so grateful we crossed paths, I will always recommend Christina to anyone looking for an MUA!

    Dream Come True!

    Christina is a gem to work with! I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else but her on my special day. I met Christina through my venues wedding planner (Neuse Breeze) and she was extremely prompt. She answered all my questions, I am picky and had a lot due to my dry skin and the look I wanted to achieve. She was very quick to respond and we got me under contract. I was able to meet Christina prior to my wedding as I opted for a trial (well worth it). We were able to bond and it felt like I had known her for years. When it came time for my wedding Christina was early which was wonderful she got to meet my bridal party and we all got to start the party together. Christina is diligent about discussing skincare needs prior to starting on each of my girls and was more than happy to get my feedback on their final looks. I was very picky with how I wanted each of them to look and she didn’t hesitate to exceed all my expectations. I can’t imagine my special day without Christina.

    1000% recommend

    Christina made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning! She is genuinely so sweet and listens to your requests and will suggest what is best depending on your needs. It actually felt like I had a long time friend doing my makeup and it made the experience so much more enjoyable. Don’t hesitate to book with her!

    Christina is a dream 😍

    I’ve worked with Christina 2x so far and I will be hiring her for all future events that I need my make up/hair done for!! I have a plethora
    of good things to say about her but to start she’s got an incredible vibe when she walks in a room, her energy is so positive! This is such an important piece to me because it really adds to your event wether it be a wedding day, ball, photoshoot! She has quality products and she knows how to use them! As someone with sensitive skin getting my make up done has always been a nerve wracking experience - I’m always ready for the dry flaky patches or the post make up break out - but both times with Christina’s work I had perfect results and 0 post make up break outs!! She knows what to use and she’s an absolute artist in her craft! Both times I LOVED the way my make up and hair came out, I can’t recommend her enough!

    Wedding & bridal shoot makeup

    Christina was AMAZING to work with! I booked her for the bridal shoot and the wedding and the experience was so much fun! She listened to what I wanted and make me and all my girls look our absolute best for the wedding and photos. If I ever have need for makeup, I won't hesitate to book her again! I promise, you won't be disappointed with her services. Thank you so much, Christina!

    Military Ball Hair and Makeup

    Christina did my hair and makeup for my boyfriends military ball and I can truly say that I have never felt more beautiful. With only two days notice (due to the hair and makeup artist scheduled to do my hair and makeup going into labor), Christina squeezed me into her schedule and completely alleviated the stress of having to do my own hair and makeup. I chose a picture from Christina’s portfolio of what I wanted my eye makeup to look like, and she took the reigns from there, PERFECTING the eye makeup look and matching her top of the line products to my skin type and tone. My hair and makeup were still PERFECTLY in tact at the end of the night to the point that I didn’t want to take it off (I included a picture of my hair and makeup at the end of the night to show this as I was so impressed by this). Christina’s experience in film hair and makeup in California revealed itself as I truly don’t know of any hair or makeup artist that can match her work. She is incredibly experienced, passionate and professional about what she does and I so enjoyed her company while having my hair and makeup done. I truly could not recommend her enough.

    10/10!!!! ❤️

    Christina is AMAZING!!! You will not be left disappointed. She does an excellent job of making you feel glammed up while still looking like yourself. My bridesmaids all loved their makeup too! She helped keep me calm and talking while getting ready. I had a makeup trial with her and she was happy to make any little changes to make me feel more like myself too. She said that her job is pointless if you don’t feel beautiful and to freely speak up 💜 I hope I have an excuse to use Christina again in the future! Also makeup was VERY photogenic and stayed on while dancing. I never touched up once!

    Amazing Makeup Artist

    I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Christina. Christina went above and beyond to help my daughter and I with our makeup and it was flawless. He professionalism and experience exceeded what we were use to seeing here in ENC. Christina literally fit us in the day after she moved back to NC from CA. We walked into a completely set up professional atmosphere and she got right to work. She was thorough, on time, kind, and caring. Christina’s work is some of the best I have ever seen. My husband was WOW’D on our special day and even complimented my makeup, that’s a big deal to notice that detail. Thank you Christina was a truly amazing experience. We will be back for all our special occasions.

    Kind, talented, and she listens!

    I adore Christina and am beyond blessed to have had her do mine and my bridesmaid’s make-up! Prior to the wedding I had a trial, and she listened and talked through my wants, and allowed me to change my mind on the style/look I wanted when what I originally asked for wasn’t quite how I imagined it would look on me. She didn’t make me feel bad for not knowing exactly what look I wanted, and she was patient and willing to adjust and try different styles on me! She is funny and seriously the sweetest person, and I felt the make-up on my wedding day turned out beautiful! She also does body art, and painted gold and black into my back tattoo to help it pop a little and stand out!!! How cool is that?! Oh, and she also did some rocker make-up for my groom! Christina is open-minded, down try try whatever look you want and make it fabulous, and is on time and efficient! I am soooo lucky I was able to score her as my artist for my event!! Thank you Christina!!! Xoxo 😘

    You should hire Christina right now!

    I hired Christina to do the makeup for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding and she was the BEST! My original wedding date was in April 2020 and we had to postpone twice due to COVID. We finally had our wedding in June 2022 and Christina stuck by me the entire time. Every time that I had to postpone, she was so flexible and took some of the stress of re-planning away.

    And on the morning of the wedding, she was the perfect person to have around! She was so flexible, kind, professional, efficient and easygoing!! All of my bridesmaids loved her and she made them all feel so comfortable and cared for. She worked with each person to see what they wanted and made us all feel beautiful. She got all 8 of us done on time, but never seemed like she was stressed and she was very patient with us all running around trying to get ready. And our makeup turned out amazing! I know nothing about makeup, so I just let her do her thing because I knew that I could trust her. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding or any other makeup needs you may have!! Thank you Christina!

    So amazing!

    Christina and her assistant truly did such an amazing job! They made each of us feel like a total princess! We all had so much fun getting ready and dancing and making jokes and it was like they weren’t there to just work but to make us feel truly special! I would recommend them to literally anyone and everyone!

    BEST makeup artist & person!!

    Christina did my makeup for my engagement photoshoot and wedding and all I can say is WOW!! She made my entire wedding party and myself feel gorgeous. She really listens to your requests and is truly able to execute any look you’re going for. Also, aside from being crazy talented, she is the kindest person ever and makes you feel very comfortable all throughout the day. You truly feel like you’re talking to a friend. I’m so sad she moved away from California because I would hire her for any and all upcoming events in my life.

It also lasted the whole day and i was sweating during my photoshoot. 100% recommend and she is awesome to talk to while she is working! Don’t double think hire her!

    Just perfect.

    When my MUA cancelled last minute (no hate) I decided to do my own hair and makeup for my wedding. This led to a lot of anxiety and just an overall acceptance that I wouldn’t look perfect for my wedding. Christina was recommended to me by my photographer (a personal friend) and did not disappoint. She showed up on time, ready to work. She made me feel so beautiful and talked me through the whole process. She was so respectful of my wishes and made sure that her work enhanced, not changed. I looked like myself, only better! (Also, my wedding was a 2 day event and I was able to keep my makeup and lashes looking amazing for both days with only small touchups the second day!)
