    "Cristina is truly an artist.

    I've had my makeup professionally done quite a few times over the years, and without question, this was the best it's ever looked. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted while also offering thoughtful guidance on what would work best with my skin, features, and coloring. The final result still felt like me, but the absolute best version.”

    ~ Kathleen H.

    Cristina made me feel more beautiful than I ever have in my life.

    She nailed a natural look that allowed me to glow and highlight my best features. She takes extreme care with her clients and has great attention to detail. Her experience is so evident. And she is a kind and positive person!

    ~ Amanda

  • Red brush strokes on white paper.

    Cristina was an absolute dream to work with.

    She made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and I walked out feeling not only beautiful, but fully myself. You can tell how much she genuinely loves what she does and cares about her clients.

    The makeup was natural yet elevated…exactly the kind of look you dream about as a bride. It had that polished, radiant finish you usually only see on influencers or in bridal magazines. Just wow.

    Cristina is truly one of the best out there.

Faqs

  • Makeup is my focus. I can provide trusted hair artist recommendations if you’d like.

  • No. I use traditional foundation, selecting the formula and application technique around your skin and the finish you want. This gives me flexibility to build coverage exactly where you need it while keeping your skin looking like skin.

  • Absolutely. You can book a regular studio makeup application for $160 before reserving your wedding date.

    Your wedding date remains available to other inquiries until your contract is signed and retainer is paid.

  • Yes. Your bridal makeup package includes a 90-minute trial at my Stillwater studio. We’ll talk through your preferences, create your look, and make note of any adjustments for the wedding day.

  • Bridal makeup artists vary in the experience, time, and support they include. When comparing rates, it helps to look beyond the wedding day application.

    My pricing reflects 20 years of experience and the attention I give to your look from the beginning. Your 90-minute trial gives us time to talk through your preferences, create the makeup, and figure out what you’d like adjusted. I bring the expertise; you have a say in every detail.

    That care carries through to planning your morning, working with your skin on the wedding day, and making final touch-ups before I leave. It’s skilled makeup application, thoughtful preparation, and the confidence of knowing your artist understands what matters to you.

  • We’ll discuss this at your trial and work around your group’s needs, hair appointments, and ready-by time.

    Some mornings work best with individual appointment slots; others allow for a more flexible flow. If you or your planner are putting the schedule together, I’ll help confirm that the makeup timing works.

  • Your makeup is designed to wear beautifully through the day, and I do a final round of touch-ups before leaving.

    Lip color will still need refreshing after eating and drinking, so everyone should bring their own lipstick or gloss. I’m happy to help you choose a shade.

    You may also choose to hire me to stay for hourly touch-ups if you’d prefer.

  • Start by sending an inquiry with your date, location, and the number of people interested in makeup. If I’m available, I’ll send a proposal with your services and booking details. Your date is officially reserved once your contract is signed and your $375 retainer is paid.

TLDR;

The short version. Because I know you’ve got lots of decisions to make.

You won’t find a preset version of “bride” in my chair. Your face, your taste, and your comfort get a say in every detail.

Bride makeup: $875. Your 90-minute studio trial + wedding day makeup.
