Katie Sent on 10/18/2024Amazing team, Incredible service!
I am so incredibly grateful to have had Christine and her team for our wedding day! Wedding makeup not only needs to look good in person but it also needs to photograph well. When I say Christine's girls are so incredibly talented, I mean they truly went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. I was truly in LOVE with how my makeup/hair turned out for the big day, and even more so in awe with the how the look turned out in photos. Everything from timeliness, communication, professionalism to simply being amazing people who were so easy to work with. Highly recommend! -

Christine is absolutely incredible! From the first time I looked through her portfolio, I knew I loved her work. She just understands how to bring out the best features in asian faces. And Christine is 100% worth every penny. I had previously gotten a makeup/hair trial done with a different artist I was considering, but it just didn't compare to Christine's work. I've now had makeup done by her 4 times, and every time has been flawless. It lasts all day and night through sweat, tears, sun, and wind. She listened to my concerns when I told her that my skin is very oily.
Pro tip - just listen to her when she recommends false lashes. I was hesitant towards big lashes during my first trial, and later discovered that Christine was right. The big lashes are the way to go!! Trust me, whatever she's recommending to you is going to look the best. Don't be intimidated by the big lashes, just do it.
On wedding day, Christine and her team were on time, professional, and carefully listened to each girl's wants. All of my bridesmaids looked stunning, and my mom was very pleased with how her makeup turned out. If you are considering hiring Christine and her team, do it! She books out quickly, so secure your date ASAP! -

Nicole Sent on 04/08/2024Stunning hair and makeup!
I fell in love with Christine's work as a MOH for my best friend's wedding. I knew I had to have her and her team do my wedding hair & makeup. The moment I booked my venue, I went home and immediately requested Christine, despite it being almost a year and a half in advance.
I absolutely loved my bridal look and my bridesmaids couldn't stop talking about how amazing their hair and makeup was even though they were wary beforehand because of bad wedding makeup experiences in the past. It's hard to find an artist that specializes in Asian American features and hair. We loved the little touch up kits she provides as well, and it came in handy multiple times. I really can't recommend Christine enough! -

Christine's work is true artistry! I love that the makeup felt so lightweight even though it was actually a lot. I cried a few times during the wedding, and yet my makeup still stayed, and that should speak volume.
After Dominique did my hair, I literally told her that she should've taken a before and after pix to show what an amazing job she did with my hair.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience working with Christine and her team. They're very professional and will do what ever it takes to make you look beautiful for your big day. -

She brought life to my special day 💫
Christine is very friendly, accommodating and kind. Indeed, she is professional but also knows how to build a connection with a client. Everybody loved my make up during the wedding, as much as I adored it! She definitely brought life to my special day and look forward to connecting with her again soon!
I recommend availing her air brush make up! It lasts the whole day and you wouldn’t have to worry much with retouching (depending on skin type I guess) but for me, it worked perfectly! -

Christine and her team are amazing! It was very important to me that I hired a MUA who knew how to do eyeshadow for Asian features. Christine's make up technique is flawless and the results were beautiful! My makeup did not budge at all despite all of my happy tears. Christine and her team are very friendly, well prepared, clean, and professional. It was such a pleasure working with her and everything was so worth it. Highly recommend!!! -

Christine and Dominque were absolutely phenomenal! I was the bride and I hired Christine and her team for my glam squad for my special day. Both ladies work quick and knocked it out of the park with the looks that I wanted. I instantly cried when I saw my hair. My bridesmaids, Mom & Mother in law looked stunning. I would highly recommend Christine and her team for your special event. These ladies were worth every penny. I highly recommend on getting a glam squad so you can enjoy your wedding morning/ day stress free. -

Ashley Sent on 09/14/2023Thank you Christine!!
I cannot express enough how thankful I feel to have had Christine and her team take care of us on my wedding day. Christine was the only wedding vendor I knew I wanted to work with, even before I was engaged, and she absolutely exceeded all expectations.
We booked Christine and her team to take care of hair and makeup for a total of nine people, including six bridesmaids, two mothers, and myself. The day unfolded so smoothly, and the level of organization was impeccable. Christine and her team made everyone feel relaxed and pampered, which was exactly what we needed!
For any significant event in my future, I will be booking Christine for makeup without hesitation. Thank you, Christine, for making our special day truly unforgettable, and for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself! -

Christine and her team were absolutely professional, personable, and timely with their communication and work. Christine and her team really paid attention to the look we wanted to go for and brought it to life. I wasn't expecting to cry so much during my wedding (happy tears of course!), but to my surprise, my makeup, lashes and hair looked just as good as when I first got it done! Thank you Christine! -

Best hair & makeup team!
Christine and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with! I had originally hired Christine to do my wedding makeup and someone else for hair (not from Christine’s team). However, my original hairstylist went MIA after taking my deposit. I reached out to Christine to add hair services later on and, luckily, her senior hairstylists (Dominque & Sara) were available on my wedding day. I can’t thank them enough! Christine gave me her "signature bridal glam” which looked so stunning in person and photographed beautifully! She also takes feedback very well. She listened to what I wanted and gave suggestions on what would look best on my skin tone and eye shape. My hair & makeup looked flawless from 6am til midnight!
HIGHLY recommend booking one beauty team for both hair & makeup. Your getting-ready timeline will go much smoother I promise! I really believe hair & makeup sets the tone for your wedding day as they are the first vendors you’ll work with in the morning (so if hair & makeup is running late, everything else will run late too). Hire Christine and you won’t regret it! -

Tiffany Sent on 06/15/2023Best makeup team! Highly recommend.
Christine and her team truly delivered on mine, my bridesmaids, and my mom's makeup and hair. I've been in several weddings and I've never actually had any makeup artists and hair stylists stay on track with their timeline. They actually finished early, which is a first! Not only that, they did beautifully on all our makeup, and my mom, who is very picky and has never liked makeup done by anyone else, actually liked her makeup. It's very hard to find artists who know are experts at Asian makeup. My Hollywood waves also stayed curled all night. I never felt pressured for a different look than what I wanted, and Christine definitely delivered! I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Christine even checked back the next day on how everything went with the wedding and my makeup. -

Jamie Sent on 05/07/2023Chris is amazing
Christine did an amazing job on my wedding makeup! After another makeup artist had to cancel for my wedding, I searched for a new makeup artist and luckily I found MakeupbyChrisTranx3. She was very quick to respond to my inquiry email. The contract was very well organized and detailed and her terms & conditions were very clear. I scheduled my makeup trial 2 months before my wedding where I met Christine at her studio which is a cute space near Kearny Mesa. She was playing 2000s throwbacks while she did my makeup and she was very easy to talk to. I was nervous about having my makeup done for my wedding because I have freckles and I wasn't sure how a makeup artist would be able to make my skin look without covering up all my freckles. As soon as I sat down Christine asked if I wanted my freckles covered or if I still wanted them to 'peek through' and I'm so glad she asked, she was able to keep my freckles so I still looked like me. I'm not a big makeup wearer and by the time she was finished it barely felt like I had anything on, my face the makeup is that lightweight! Christine also gave great tips for prepping my skin for the wedding day. On the day of the wedding she did the same look as the trial but suggested we go a little bigger with the lashes. She held up a couple of different options for me to see what they'd look like and I'm so happy with the ones we chose. All my bridesmaids and my mom were incredibly happy with their makeup looks also and I couldn't recommend Christine more for your wedding day. -

Flawless Wedding Glam by the Incredibly Talented Christine!
I had the pleasure of working with Christine who provided makeup services for my wedding, and I can't say enough amazing things about her! From the moment I contacted her, she was incredibly responsive, professional, extremely organized, and easy to communicate with. She listened carefully to my make up ideas, offered suggestions when I needed it, and took the time to understand my vision for my wedding day look. Christine is such a talented make-up artist, and does exceptionally well for hooded and monolid eyes which is difficult to apply eyeshadow on. She also made sure to use high-quality products that lasted throughout the day and night, so I didn't have to worry about touch-ups or smudging and the result was absolutely flawless.
I had hair services provided by Metz, and she was wonderful and took the time to listen to my hair preferences. She worked with me to create a hairstyle that was exactly what I had envisioned. Throughout the process, she checked in with me to make sure that I was happy with the way things were going and made adjustments as needed, and I loved the way my hair turned out!
My hair and makeup stayed in place throughout the day and night, and I felt so glamorous. Each bridesmaid was beyond happy with their hair and makeup as well, and they were able to accommodate everyone’s personal style and preferences.
Christine and Metz are so skilled and talented, and I highly recommend their beauty services!! They go above and beyond to make everyone feel beautiful and I can’t thank them enough! -

Christine did a phenomenal job for my wedding! She did the makeup for three of my friends and me, and everyone looked fantastic. She was very thoughtful when picking colors and textures for each girl, and took the time to make sure everything looked perfect.
As a bride, Christine was a joy to work with. She was quick to respond to emails and texts, easy to schedule a makeup trial with, and very organized. She made sure to understand what look I wanted and added her own recommendations. Everything with Christine ran smoothly and on time, which was essentially for a stress-free wedding day. -

Christine and her team is the best to work with!
I had the pleasure of working with Christine and her senior hairstylist Dominique for my maternity photos. They were an absolute dream! Both were extremely kind, warm, and welcoming. I absolutely loved the turn out of both my hair and makeup and would go to them again for services in the San Diego area. They made me feel my absolute best during my pregnancy and I can’t thank them enough. Christine executed beautiful flawless makeup that lasted all day. She also gave me great makeup pointers! I originally had some concerns prior to booking about my hair not holding up for my photos because it never does. However, Dominique is a hair magician! I have both long and heavy hair and she provided me with beautiful glam waves that lasted! These two are the perfect duo to work with! -

Madison Sent on 02/28/2023Best makeup artist ever!
I first met Christine as a bridesmaid in 2021. Her team was amazing and so I knew I had to have her as my wedding makeup artist. Through the years, she has done makeup for me for Valentine's Day, boudoir photoshoot, engagement photoshoot, and bridal shower. Each time she would customize each look so it fit the vibe of each shoot. I think Christine's biggest strength is how she makes you feel. I am someone who gets nervous and will just say "okay" to everything instead of saying what I actually want. Christine will ask questions to confirm and make me feel confident. She'll ask "Heavier on the eyeshadow?" or "Is that enough blush?" and similar questions. She is also totally okay with me asking her to adjust my eyeshadow 10 times since I have a genetic lazy eye starting to show and so she made my eyes match ahaha.
For the wedding, I had me, my 8 bridesmaids, my mom, mother in law, aunt, and grandma. I asked hair & makeup to be done by 1pm so we started at 745am which if you know wedding timelines that is not bad at all! We ended up having 3 makeup artists, and they were all equally amazing.
Christine and her team had our makeup last ALL DAY. We got married July 5th so the sun was beating down and making us sweat a lot, but you COULD NOT TELL at all because the makeup was flawless every moment! It really made me confident that everyone looked wonderful in the pictures. They had to because the makeup was perfect at every angle!
Two big highlights for me were 1: my grandma is extremely picky and always complains about how nothing can ever make her look good. Well guess what - Christine's team made her smiling from ear to ear the whole night because of how beautiful she was!
2: I had two black bridesmaids that I wanted to make sure received the same level of quality and care as the white/asian bridesmaids. I have heard horror stories of other makeup artists and foundations being too light or blush not showing up properly on darker-skinned ladies. Not the case with Christine's team!! She made sure to include an artist (Eddie) who did an absolutely amazing job with both of my bridesmaids. :) -

Soft bridal make up glam by Christine!
As an Asian American girly, I can’t recommend Christine more! She is so familiar on how to accentuate Asian facial features, seamlessly combining western and eastern beauty trends. I came to her asking for a softer glam look, which seemed different from her day to day spread on Instagram, and Christine delivered 110%! It’s very simple to trust the process with her. The makeup photographed beautifully and gave me the confidence and ease of stress to know the esthetics I wanted would come to fruition on my wedding day. She is also just an extremely sweet, kind, hard working woman! I would 100% come back for my next glam event. Thank you Christine ❤️ -

Christine (Makeup) and Dominique (Hair) did such an amazing job for my maternity shoot. I could not have been happier with how my look turned out.

I will definitely be booking with her team for my future events. She does not disappoint. -

Alicia Sent on 11/26/2022Christine is simply wonderful
I had seen Christine's name pop up over and over on different sites as one of the best make up artists in San Diego and I agree. After booking with Christine I had some budget issues and reached out to her. She was more then accomodating, stating it was important that I get to be pampered on my wedding day without having to worry about my budget, and adjusted her fee. She is a very sincere and sweet woman and put my needs first. Definitely recommend! -

Christine and her team is the best of the best!
Christine and her beauty team made me and my family & friends look and feel so beautiful during my wedding this past September! Christine is very organized, professional, kind and a master of her craft. I genuinely enjoyed my bridal make up trial and getting ready on the morning of my wedding. She uses high quality makeup & lashes, makes you feel so comfortable, and helps you find a look that works best for you. Her and her make up & hair team styled me and 9 other people in my wedding party and everyone absolutely loved how their looks turned out! I highly recommend hiring her for your special events, she’s the best of the best! -

Chen-Marie Sent on 08/15/2022The best team and definitely worth it!
Christine and her team are the best! Christine was so professional and quick to respond to emails and questions. It really helped make planning go smoothly considering I was trying to plan from out of state. She worked with the dates that I was able to be in town and didn't have any issues when it came to scheduling my trial.
Eddie had done makeup and hair for my mom, my sister and me and she listened to all the concerns we had. She really nailed the picture and the vibe I was going for! I was so happy that I even bought the lipstick she used on me. My mother hardly wears makeup and my mom felt so great in it the whole day.
Her and my sister kept commenting how light it was and how pretty they felt and it really meant a lot to me because I wanted them to feel as pretty as I felt that day too.
Thanks Christine and Eddie for not only making me feel and look special on my wedding day but for also making my sister and mom feel like princesses too.

Connie Sent on 07/19/2022This Professional Hair & Makeup Team Will Make Your Day a Dream Come True!
Christine and her team truly made my wedding day's dream come true. I was mesmerized by Christine's amazing makeup and hair on her instagram @makeupbychristranx3. I had tried many makeup and hair artists but none of them truly stood out to me. When I contacted Christine, she was very quick to respond and had a quote ready for me quickly. I could tell she was very experienced :). When I reached out to her, even though she was booked, she quickly reached out to her team. She reached out to two brilliant artists (Alicia and Metz) on her team and they quickly set up a trial for me. The trial and final day makeup and hair was perfect and exactly how I wanted it! Alicia did makeup and Metz did hair for me and my bridesmaids. Everyone's makeup was perfect and they truly listened to everything I requested. For example, I wanted my hair bun to be more textured, and Metz executed it perfectly on the day of! The eye shadow and airbrush make up was perfect and it lasted throughout the whole night (even at the after party). They were extremely professional, kind, efficient, and timely. I forgot to relay some important information to my bridesmaids such as not to have wet hair during their time slot, but Christine hurried and thought of solutions so that the schedule was not delayed. I am extremely thankful for Christine and her team. Christine and her team made my day perfect... a dream come true!

Christine & her CTX3 team were so wonderful to work with. Christine is extremely organized, professional, & accommodating! She gave me our predicted day-of schedule months in advance & was very flexible when I had last minute changes the week of due to an ongoing family emergency. I had no idea what I wanted for my wedding look, but Christine & Metz really took care of me during my engagement shoot & wedding day!

Definitely 10/10 & I would highly recommend the CTX3 team to anyone looking for a top-tier beauty team! -

Amazing Makeup & Hair Stylist
Christine was referred to me by a friend that was already planning to hire her to do hair & makeup for her wedding. I went on to explore her profile and noticed her work on her Asian clientele and knew I had to hire her since she would know how to work with my features and skin etc.
She is incredibly talented at what she does. She was so easy to work with and was responsive in her communication following up to the day. Makeup was flawless and lasted the entire whole day. She was always making sure I was feeling okay and asked for my opinion throughout the process to ensure that I wasn't uncomfortable. She made me look like a goddess! I totally forgot I was going to marry my wife that day, I almost ended up marrying myself LOL!
Her team also focuses on hair. I had Dominique style my hair and it held all day. I never knew my hair could hold its curls, it usually goes back to straight after a while. She didn't use too much product in my hair where it would feel heavy or greasy. I felt really light and flowed in the wind during the photo session we had later that day, and it stayed in place. WOW!
I would recommend Christine and her team without hesitation, they are a highly skilled team. Thank you so much for making my wife and I feel and look so beautiful on our big day, Christine and Dominique. We truly appreciate both of you!

Christine has been very sweet and responsive since our first email. Her whole team is amazing. I worked with Alicia & Kerry for hair/makeup for my engagement shoot and my photographer could not stop gushing about how good everything looked on me :) I was also able to work with Alicia, Caroline, & Dominque for my wedding day and they came in with so much kindness and patience with my mothers and 6 bridesmaids. We even finished an hour earlier than expected without sacrificing quality of everyone's looks. This helped us rest up before heading to the venue for the big day. Everyone looked so beautiful and especially my mothers felt very comfortable and pretty in their looks. I just had eye surgery and Alicia always made sure she was gentle and that I was comfortable when she would apply anything around my eyes. I would definitely work with Christine and anyone on her team again if I needed my makeup/hair done. Thank you for everything!!! -

Brandi Sent on 05/06/2022Christine and her team (Eddie and Kerry) were absolutely amazing to work with!!
After 2 postponements due to covid (read 3 different wedding dates), we finally had our wedding on 4/16/22! I have nothing but positive and glowing things to say about Christine and her team (Eddie for makeup, Kerry for hair). I originally had my makeup trial on Jan 2019. During the trial Eddie asked about my opinion/preferences and really did a great job with my makeup. She took notes so she was able to remember what she used on me then to perfect the natural, sun-kissed look I was going for! Throughout the two postponements, Christine was friendly, flexible, communicative, and professional. I am so glad that her team was still able to do my hair/makeup for my wedding!
On the day of the wedding, Eddie and Kerry arrived a little early so that they were ready to go on time for the timeline Christine sent out. They remained on time while doing the hair/makeup of myself, my 4 bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law. We each brought pictures of the look we were going for and they nailed EVERY SINGLE ONE. All of the ladies absolutely loved their look. If there was a subtle change all you had to do was ask and it would be done. Not only was the team friendly, professional, and communicative but the prices of the services were also very reasonable. I would 100% book them any time I need to be glammed up! -

I hired Christine and her team over 2 years ago, I unfortunately had to move my date twice due to covid, but she was great and moved my services for me. She is super easy to work with and will make sure you're comfortable with what she is doing. I don't wear too much makeup on a daily basis, so we went with a glowy/ bronzey more natural look and I looked amazing! The makeup lasted all day through sweat and tears. I felt like a princess. Her team also glammed up my bridesmaids and family. Everyone looked amazing. Highly recommend! Hire Christine and her team, you won't regret it. -

Elizabeth Sent on 03/28/2022Christine is AMAZING!! 10/10 Recommend for life!!
Christine and her team were amazing from start to finish! This is actually the second wedding experience I had with her - the first as a bridesmaid and she was so great I hired her for my own big day! She was so quick to respond to all my questions and her organization?? GIRRLLLLL, that is what I needed. She sends you a detailed schedule of all the girls and not only sticks to it, but we were ahead of schedule meaning I had more time to enjoy the process and spend time with my girls enjoying champagne and snacks. She just knows what's up and her work is even more amazing. I stayed flawless well until after 3AM! I have photo proof that the makeup stays all day even after all the dancing and festivities. Whatever aesthetic you are looking for, she delivers and hypes you up along the way which we all need. As for her team, Metz is the QUEEN of hair. My fiance (now husband!) said that the first thing he noticed when I walked down the aisle was my hair. Metz brought along accessories that I hadn't even thought of and they literally MADE my look come together. Overall the experience was beyond perfect and you won't be disappointed!! If you want someone that's reliable and even more hardworking, Christine is your girl ever single day. -

Christine and her team are absolutely incredible!! I don’t even know how I got so lucky to not only find her, but have her be available on my wedding day!
For starters, she herself had a wedding earlier in the AM but she still made it happen where she could be my artist a bit later in day for me! I was so so grateful.
I had 8 people in my party and Christine scheduled everything out PERFECTLY! Wedding prep time is critical and her team was so punctual. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup.
Christine and her team are in high demand so book her ASAP!!! You and your girls will be so overjoyed!! -

Best makeup artist in San Diego!
Love love love!! Christine is the best makeup artist in town! She and Eddie (who did hair) were amazing.
They arrived to everything on time, and were so sweet and gentle with us. When they asked the bridesmaid and others what they wanted, they asked really great clarifying questions to make sure they understood. They easily tailored the hair and makeup to each individual as well. (I wanted a more glam and got it, and my sister wanted a more subdued look and got it as well).
Her communication is excellent as well. Everything (from pricing to wedding day schedule) is laid out clearly, and there were no surprises throughout the whole process, which I loved. We also had to postpone the wedding a year due to Covid, and it was so easy to work with her on the new schedule. Whenever I had email questions Christine was really prompt in responding too.
The make up lasted all day (first call time was 4:45am) and we stayed out til 9pm. At the end of the night my makeup looked like it had just been applied, nothing was running and it was amazing to not have to worry about it the entire day. Hair also stayed in place the whole time, and felt soft. Not sure how the curls held up all day outside without feeling like it was hardened by hairspray - true sign of a pro.
Also I had a little bit of a disagreement with my mother about makeup styles (I blame wedding day stress), and Christine was so good about finding a middle ground & resolving both our concerns peacefully. Really so impressed with both her professional skill as a makeup artist and her interpersonal skill as well.
I am so glad I went with Christine and her amazing team - she made my wedding day so much easier and enjoyable! -

Christine has been doing my makeup for years, and I love that I can have a makeup artist that I feel comfortable with. From makeup for my wedding photos, to my daughter’s birthday party, Halloween, to any family portrait- I have gone to her for almost all my makeup needs. Her prices are more than reasonable. I usually take my daughter to our makeup sessions and she loves that Christine sends us home with samples that I can use or that she can play with. She’s considerate and kind, and wants to make sure you’re happy with how you look. She’s such an expert at makeup, she has it down to a science, and I love that the makeup lasts for hours. It’s nice to feel so pretty when she does your makeup, and have wonderful pictures that last a lifetime. Thank you for everything Christine -

I reached out to Christine back in 2019 (for a 2020 wedding). At the time, she was already booked but recommended many of her colleagues since I am not from San Diego but decided on a venue there. We ended up rescheduling our wedding due to COVID and I was glad Christine was free then. Throughout the entire process, Christine was so responsive and addressed all my questions. She was very professional and kind. She is organized as she sent the schedule for hair/makeup months in advance. Christine, Alyson, and Phoebe were on-time day of the wedding and did fantastic work. They kept us on schedule and actually finished early with more than enough time for touchups. My makeup and hair lasted the entire day/night and honestly, I was so happy to have worked with Christine and her team! Christine listened to my specific makeup requests and Phoebe is just amazing at what she does! Alyson was also great at her craft per my bridesmaids. Thank you Christine for being professional, polite, and easy to work with! -

Lisa Sent on 12/24/2021Hands down would recommend over and over again
Christine and her glam team made me, my bridesmaids, and my mom look sooooo beautiful on my wedding day. I had the pleasure of being in contact with Christine for over 2 years due to our wedding being postponed from Covid and throughout the 2 years of communications, Christine has always been so responsive and organized. Given Christines busy schedule she was able to accommodate a few last minute time change, which i greatly appreciate.
MAKE UP TRAIL - I booked my make up trial the same day as my engagement photoshoot. I had my make up done at 7:30 AM and my photoshoot was not until 6:30 PM. I was super anxious that my make up would not have lasted all day until our photoshoot session, however i was sooo wrong! I did not have to do any touch ups and my make up was still so flawless! I'm the type of girl that dislike the feeling of make up bc my skin can get very oily, however my makeup was incredibly light that I would sometimes forget i'm wearing any. Mind you that this was during summer time!
Overall, 10/10 I would highly recommend over and over again! -

Just wow! Christine and her team were so incredible to work with. I have been admiring her work for such a long time so I knew I needed to book them for my big day. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was already stressful enough but Christine and her team were really on our side. Christine was so responsive to emails and texts and followed up with me after the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. I had the pleasure of working with Kerry on my big day. Kerry was so attentive and really paid attention to details. She was so patient and calm even though it was such a hectic morning with so much going on in the background. She asked questions I didn’t even think to think about and made sure my hair and makeup stayed in place! My hair and makeup lasted the entire day and I felt like a princess! I’m truly grateful for Christine and her team and am so glad I got to work with them. They are truly masters of their craft. -

I contacted Christine to book hair services for my wedding day and for all of my bridesmaid. Every bridesmaid had a different hair style and Sara did not disappoint. Everyone LOVED their hair and it stayed in place the entire day. Sara did glam waves for me and I was OBSESSED. I'm pretty sure all my future brides were telling me that they're doing the exact same for their wedding now because Sara did such an amazing job with everything. I'm so satisfied with how everything turned out. She helped make this wedding perfect. -

Christine and her team are beyond amazing. My bridesmaids and myself looked flawless from morning to night. She was on time at 5:45am and finished up almost an hour ahead of schedule. She was so sweet, listened to all concerns and preferences for my girls. Christine made us all feel so comfortable and got us in the partying mood for my big day. There really are no words to describe how grateful I am to have found her there are no complaints or things I would have done differently! -

Christine is an absolute D R E A M to work with. I had already gone through two makeup trials for my wedding by the time I found Christine and at that point I was tempted to just do my makeup myself. I am so thankful I found her. Christine was already booked on the day of my wedding but made it work to come do my makeup. She is an absolute artist and knows how to make you look and feel your best by just looking at your facial structure and features.
During both the trial and day of the wedding she made sure I was 100% happy with my look. She works with you and makes adjustments and offers suggestions to make sure you absolutely love your makeup.
On the day of the wedding I cried from ceremony to speeches to first dances AND slept in my makeup and woke up the next day with my making looking incredible.
Christine will be my go to for all my makeup needs!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, Christine! -

Christine and her team were very professional, skilled at their craft, and easy to work with. My makeup looked FLAWLESS and it stayed on all day, through tears, sweat, hugs…all of it! Christine knew exactly how to work with my features (asian) and listened to any changes or ideas I brought up. Not to mention I had a diverse group of bridesmaids, and Christine and her team made them look AMAZING. Everyone looked so beautiful and flawless in pictures. We had 11 people get their makeup done and Christine and her team were able stay on the timeline, adjust to each bridesmaid's specific needs, and have plenty of time for touch-ups. They also helped ease any nerves that morning with their positive energy and know-how. Highly recommend to any friends and family! -

Amazing Talented and So Kind
I had a last minute change and needed a MUA. Christina was not only quick to respond, but truly personable. She definitely made me feel beautiful and I recommend her over and over a thousand times. I will definitely be looking to her for future events! -

Christine and her team are extremely professional, kind, and accommodating. We had to postpone our wedding twice, and so we decided to just elope in the meantime and Christine was able to provide someone to do my hair and makeup, despite being such a last minute request.
All the members of her team that I've interacted with are so kind and they made me look fab! The makeup lasted all day and photographed extremely well. If you're looking for top tier makeup and hair artists, Christine and her team are the way to go! Thank you so much! -

Christine was super sweet and helpful throughout the process of planning for my wedding. She did my makeup for my engagement pictures back in January, and Eddie did my hair. I loved how my engagement pictures turned out!!! Christine did such a beautiful job on making my makeup look glowy and radiant while making sure it lasted all day. Due to COVID-19, I unfortunately had to change my wedding date and she was very flexible about switching the date for me, even when it meant going from a bridal party of 8-10 girls to only me and my mom! On the wedding day, Eddie did both my hair and makeup and did a phenomenal job!! She also did my mom’s hair and makeup and we were both very impressed and happy with our wedding day looks!! That says a lot because my mom can be very picky. It was exactly what we hoped for. We looked like ourselves... but the enhanced versions! Everyone kept complimenting us on hair and makeup, and saying how elegant we looked. Eddie really paid attention to the inspiration photos I showed her and gave me exactly what I wanted. I loved how natural the face makeup looked... even up close my makeup didn’t look or feel cakey at all. It was super comfortable and beautiful and I felt confident! They were both super sweet and easy going... just what you want on your wedding day to enjoy the moment and feel your best. It was perfect!!! I would highly recommend them! -

Exceeded expectations
Ahhhhhhh! Seriously, Christine and her team are the best! They are super talented and sweet. I had the pleasure of having my make up done by her four times. All four times, my make up stayed flawless with no touch up needed! I can’t recommend her enough and look forward to her doing my make up again! -

I had the pleasure to work with Christine who did my make-up for my wedding along with Phoebe who did my hair. My make- and hair were beautiful and I have a lot of compliments. I love the airbrushing because it was so light weight and didn't even feel like I had anything on and it lasted all day, even in the rain. My bridesmaids appreciated that Christine carried a variety of products and different size lashes. They were both so nice, professional and give tips on how we could style our own make-up and hair. I love both of their work and would to love with them again. -

Amazing Makeup Artist!
I can’t tell you enough about Christine and her amazing team! From our first communication, I could tell that Christine really cares about her business and her clients. She is extremely organized and detail oriented. I did my makeup trail with her back in November 2018 and she pulled up all the details of my makeup look in October 2019 like we had just done my trial the day before. She also created a getting ready schedule for me and my bridesmaids which was incredibly helpful. Christine is also prompt with her communication and is so easy to work with. A few weeks out from my wedding, when things were starting to pick up in the stress department, she reached out to me to confirm some final details and times for the wedding. I even asked to squeeze in a last minute trial for my mom a month before the wedding. She could have easily denied my request because her schedule is so packed but she was able to squeeze us in with Alicia. Her customer service is amazing and she couldn’t have made things easier for me.
I am not someone who normally wears a lot of makeup and was initially nervous going into the trial. However, Christine did an amazing job of checking in with me regularly and creating a makeup look that enhanced my features without overdoing it. I was so impressed with her during my trial that I hired her immediately for both my tea ceremony and my wedding day. Not only did I feel beautiful on my wedding day, but my makeup lasted all day. I was super impressed because I am a crier! Despite my many tears during the wedding ceremony, my makeup stayed put. She and her team also did makeup for my bridesmaids and a few of my family members too. They all loved the looks that Christine and Alicia did for them. I along with my bridesmaids got several compliments all day! I will definitely hire Christine again for my future events. -

Lacey Sent on 11/16/2019I can't wait to work with Christine and her team again!
I found Christine when another makeup artist cancelled a few weeks before my wedding day. She made the whole process really easy and was very prompt in her communications which was so important on such a time crunch. She did a makeup trial for my rehearsal dinner and I received so many compliments from family members so I knew that she would do just as good of a job on my wedding day. She is lovely to be around which was so important on a day that can be stressful and overwhelming. She did my mom and I’s makeup for my wedding day and we both don’t usually wear a lot of makeup but we both felt so amazing and received so many compliments from my guests. She has since done my makeup as a bridesmaid and one of her artists, Eddie, did my hair. Once again, I got so many compliments! I would recommend Christine and her team to anyone and look forward to going to her again in the future! -

I LOVE Christine
Christine is spectacular!!! She does such stunning work and she’s so much fun to be around! She did the makeup for everyone in my wedding and we all looked incredible. My wedding day was a hot day and my makeup held up the entire time. I still looked flawless at the end of the night. She also makes you feel so comfortable and really works hard to make sure she’s giving you the exact look you want. But most importantly, she has the gift of making the experience fun. I highly recommend her!! -

Christine and her assistant, Alicia, are absolutely wonderful to work with! Christine made a diverse group of women all feel absolutely beautiful. As the bride, Christine really took care to address areas that I wanted to highlight and bring out, and she went above and beyond. I have honestly never felt so pretty! And her work is not only flawless - it lasts all night, which is honestly super difficult for my eye shape (monolid)! Nothing smudged, even through tears, laughter, and sweat - and it was a pretty warm day in San Diego. I cannot recommend Christine highly enough - she is a joy! -

Never felt more beautiful!
I found Christine & team on Instagram and the minute I saw her bridal make up looks I knew I wanted to book her right away. Others must had the same idea because she was already booked, but she recommended her lead make up artist, Alicia, for my wedding day. I was a tad nervous at first since Alicia didn't have as many photos accredited to her name, but WOW, I could not have asked for a most punctual, polite, adaptable, and talented make up artist for my big day! Alicia remembered me from my make up trial from months earlier and noticed with my skin tone had changed. Wasn't a problem for her though, she adapted and made me look FLAWLESS. My wedding guests could not stop complimenting my make up all night & kept saying I looked like a movie star! My bridesmaids were happy working with Alicia as well and kept saying how sweet she was. We had a fantastic and relaxing morning, which can be hard to do before a wedding. Alicia was meticulous in her work and listened to what you wanted. I would book Alicia again in a heartbeat for any special events. I could go on and on, but pictures are worth a thousand words, so I want to share some of her amazing work. -

Christine is absolutely amazing! From the inquiry process to actual wedding day, she was extremely professional, easy to work with and was so flexible. The morning of our wedding, she arrived at our hotel 15 minutes before the actual start time and made sure everyone had more than enough time for their make up which made me feel so much at ease. She did the make up for myself, 2 of my bridesmaids, mom, and sister and everyone looked so good. I received so many compliments throughout the day and was so surprised to see my makeup lasting all day even through hours of dancing! Christine really is a make up wizard and through her work, it really shows how passionate she is about making people look their best on their special day. Thank you, Christine!! -

I had the privilege of having Christine and her teammate Alicia do my wedding makeup. They did a stunning job of making me look beautiful regardless of the lighting or the angle! More importantly, they listened to my needs but also made thoughtful suggestions without making me feel like my opinions weren't heard. The makeup quality was of top notch and it never smudged or smeared during the wedding. The makeup style I requested was executed but kept a natural beauty to where I still looked like myself :) So proud that they did my makeup and I plan to use their services again for any future formal event. I highly recommend their services to any future bride! -

Diana Sent on 02/20/2019I won't need to find another makeup artist because I've got Christine
Christine is THE best! I found her while specifically searching for "asian makeup artist" because if you're an Asian lady, you know sometimes it's hard to find makeup artists that know how work with the different types of Asian eyes. Once I saw her Instagram profile, I was sold by by the transformative, yet natural looks she's able to achieve.
I've never had airbrush makeup done before, but I can now definitively say that it is _worth it._ I booked her for my wedding, and she and her second makeup artist Hien did such an amazing job on the bridesmaids, the mothers, and myself! The makeup was flawless the entire day, through two outfit changes and sweating it out dance floor. Also, Christine is so incredibly nice and responsive, I absolutely loved everything about working with her.
My friend had her wedding two weeks after mine (and yes, we planned it that way!), and she booked Christine for her wedding as well! We both loved her so much that we asked her to doll us up for our company holiday party. (/waves at friend in reviews) Christine will definitely be my go-to makeup artist for all of my events going forward! -

SHE IS A MAGICIAN! Christine is a hard working lady and is so professional! She always responds to questions in a timely manner. Idon't wear much makeup and consider myself quite picky but she got exactly what I wanted for my engagement party and wedding last year. I am also a very sweaty person but my makeup still lasted ALL DAY during a scorching San Diego summer day. I got so many compliments on my makeup on both days and wouldn't hesitate to go to her again for any big event! Thank you so much, Christine! -

Christine was an absolute delight to work with! She was responsive, communicative, and very kind when it came to setting up the appointment. I sent reference photos for what I envisioned for pageant makeup. She gave some great suggestions that would work well with my dresses and stayed true to what I wanted. She has a wide variety of products and a skillset to compliment your features beautifully! The airbrush made my makeup look just as great ten hours later, and she was able to do my makeup in a manner that photographed extremely well on stage. It felt so light, and the airbrush sealed in all of the true colors, without showing how oily I usually get. In terms of customer service, Christine was extremely easy to talk to and very sweet. She even gave me a little sample of my lip color to allow me to touch up later in the night. I would recommend Christine to anyone seeking high quality, yet affordable looks for special events! -

Carissa Sent on 01/12/2019The BEST makeup artist I could have ever asked for!
I cannot recommend Christine more to anyone and everyone who needs their makeup done. She really knows her stuff and makes sure to achieve whatever look you want with in the way that flatters and compliments you the best. She did the makeup for myself and a few friends for her wedding and she knocked it out of the park.
She did the makeup for my wedding and I got so many compliments from all of the girls that they had never felt so beautiful (yet still looking like themselves).
My friends and I loved her so much, we immediately booked her to do our makeup for our company's holiday party! I'm literally looking for reasons to get my makeup done just so I can have her do it again because I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!! Thank you Christine!!!!!!
