Cristina is a master of her craft! I am so grateful and lucky that she was my makeup artist on my wedding day. Between myself, my mom and MIL, and all my bridesmaids, we could not stop talking about how talented Cristina is. She nailed the bridal look of "soft glam" I always imagined having on my wedding day. Her communication leading up to the wedding day and on the wedding day was also great, so I felt comfortable and confident using her as my makeup artist. Now, if only, she could do my makeup for every occasion. Thank you so much Cristina!

Cristina is beyond amazing. As a COVID bride, I seriously appreciated all of her hard work and professionalism through the entire process. I had a million things to worry about and Cristina and her work was NOT one of them!!
Long story short - my wedding was cancelled 3 weeks before the day due to pandemic and the state lock down. Cristina took it all in stride and we ended up being able to rebook due to extenuating circumstances and I am so happy I got her to keep her.
Cristina is great at communication - emails are answered promptly and professionally. I never had a doubt that she was there

If you’re looking for an amazingly talented MUA, Cristina is your gal! I was blown away by how great of a job she did with my makeup for my wedding. She listens to what you want and works with you to ensure you look and feel your best! I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome, and her calm and positive presence was a joy to have around!

Cristina is awesome! So chill to have as part of our wedding day. She was easy to talk with and make adjustments from trial to the day of. She had no problem matching my pale skin-tone and working with my naturally wavy/curly hair. She worked with us on creating a timeline for the day and no issues with following it! Based on the number of services we needed, she had a colleague join her for the day of who was just as great! A very stress-free and great experience!

Not only is Cristina an incredibly talented hair and makeup artist, but she is also very down-to-earth and kind. It was a true pleasure to work with her for our engagement photos and wedding. As a calming presence and genuinely sweet person, she truly stands out amongst the many wedding vendors out there.

Cristina did my hair and makeup for my wedding last month - she is absolutely wonderful to work with!! Incredibly talented and so sweet. I really appreciated how receptive she was to my questions and concerns as I had never had my hair done professionally before. I literally could not have been happier with my appearance! Cristina and her team also did a fabulous job with the hair and makeup of my bridal party. Such a great experience and result - I recommend her 100%!
