Meet the Artist

I’m a makeup artist with 20 years of experience and the founder of Cristina Ziemer Beauty (2015). In 2025, I rebranded as Cristina Rubio Makeup to reflect a fresh chapter in my artistry and business, while continuing to provide the same elevated experience my clients trust. Over the years, I’ve worked with more than 500 brides, as well as commercial clients ranging from Olympic and Paralympic athletes to NFL families.

My work has been featured on three Minnesota Bride covers and a Sports Illustrated cover, and I’ve partnered with brands including Hershey, General Mills, Post Cereal, Kennedy Blue, the NFL, Mayo Clinic, and Delta Airlines.

Beyond the brush, I’ve helped shape the industry itself. I played a key role in legislative reform that protects Minnesota special-event hair and makeup artists from unnecessary schooling requirements, allowing artists to build sustainable, successful careers. I’m a Minnesota Special Events Hair and Makeup Certified Provider (2020, #PP200039).

At Cristina Rubio Makeup, my goal is simple: to deliver elevated artistry and a calm, confident experience, leaving clients looking and feeling their absolute best.
