She was wonderful! So talented, and great with the kids. The face painting turned out beautifully and everyone was so happy. Would absolutely recommend her!

Chrissy did beautiful updos for my wedding. I highly recommend her, the updos were gorgeous, she was thoughtful about what I wanted and what made me comfortable, and she was wonderful to have around while getting ready on such a hectic day.

My make up for the Halloween party got so many compliments. Chrissy managed to make me look both sexy and scary/fierce at the same time. She took time give her opinions about other aspects of my costume. She was great to work with and I was very pleased!

I was looking for a make up artist who could do a Maria Antionette look. I wanted an exaggerated white face as they did in the 1700s but I didn’t want it to look comically done. Chrissy was the perfect choice for this. She struck the balance I was looking for. She was professional, she listened and checked in with me. She even helped me with my wig. The look stayed put all night and I was the bell of the ball! I will book Chrissy again

Chrissy was incredible! We hired her to do both my husband’s and my Halloween makeup for a Halloween party and it was so good. She was such a pleasure to work with. I will 💯 be hiring her again and I have already recommended her to my friends.

I’ve worked with Chrissy 2x now (bridal dress shopping & engagement photoshoot) and I will DEFINITELY be working with her again. She is amazing at working with your vision to give you the best possible look. She is incredibly easy to work with and is such a joy to be around. She takes your inspiration photos and makes it a reality! She does both my hair and makeup and went above and beyond to shop the day of for certain hair accessories we needed to complete the look. If you need a hair and makeup person in San Diego, Chrissy is your girl!

Chrissy did a phenomenal job! She delivered and nailed the look I was going for from what we discussed and pictures I shared. Couldn’t be more satisfied with her expertise, experience, professionalism, preparation, punctuality and pleasant personality! Had not found a makeup artist in San Diego but plan to definitely use her again!
