There is not much we can say that will do Christin justice. From the moment we met her, everything just clicked. It was super important to us to have a makeup artist who could do makeup for both of us as well as our moms and make us feel comfortable. Christin did just that. She understood our ideas for the day…

Christin was a total blast to work with. She went out of her way to provide exceptional service and prepare me for a professional photoshoot. She is highly skilled and professional, all while having a lot of fun and making the whole process easy. Highly recommend!
Christin did my bridal makeup in September and the experience truly exceeded my expectations. Speaking on the phone once was enough to make me want to work with her and when we met for the trial it just confirmed I made the right choice. Fast forward to wedding day, I can’t imagine having spent the day with another artist or team. I had a fairly large group of girls plus moms and Christin and the stylists she brought were not only amazing at what they do but also fun to hangout with. I felt calm, but more importantly for me I felt comfortable enough to really talk it out with her how I wanted to look and feel. She listened and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Thanks Christin and Kanika!

If I could give Christin 25 stars, I absolutely would!!
I’ve been utilizing Christin’s beauty expertise for 5 years now, and she has NEVER disappointed me! From the moment I sit in her chair until the moment I walk out, the experience is always top-tier. She is punctual, professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly talented. Most importantly, SHE ALWAYS SLAYS!!
When I leave Christin’s makeup chair, MY FACE IS BEAT DOWN! She knows exactly how to enhance my features and always has me feeling absolutely beautiful and confident. Whether it’s a special occasion or I just want to feel like THAT GIRL, I know I’m in the best hands.
But what makes Christin even more special is the person she is. She is so warm, personable, genuine, and easy to love that she has become so much more than our makeup artist. My mother, my sisters, and I genuinely consider her family.
Five years later, and I wouldn’t trust just anybody with this face! If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is talented, dependable, professional, and will have you looking ABSOLUTELY STUNNING—BOOK CHRISTIN! Just make sure it’s not a day I require her talents. Lol!
She doesn’t just do makeup, SHE CREATES A LOOK, A MOOD, AND A WHOLE EXPERIENCE!
Christin, thank you for ALWAYS making me feel beautiful! HUGS!

Christin was a dream to work with for my wedding day. She is incredibly talented and made me feel like the absolute best and most beautiful version of myself, while still looking like me. Beyond that she has the most amazing energy and brought the best vibes to getting ready, which helped keep me calm and feeling confident going into such a big day.
My makeup was flawless and I received so many compliments on it throughout the day. AND despite having an outdoor wedding in August, my makeup didn't budge and still looked amazing 12 hours later. She is a true professional and I would 1000% recommend her to anyone needing their makeup done for a special occasion.

There is not much we can say that will do Christin justice. From the moment we met her, everything just clicked. It was super important to us to have a makeup artist who could do makeup for both of us as well as our moms and make us feel comfortable. Christin did just that. She understood our ideas for the day immediately and pushed us to be as creative with our looks as possible. The day of our trial, she walked us through our looks and gave us the chance to edit and refine as much as we wanted. Importantly, the day of the wedding she made both of our moms feel so pampered. Her presence and expertise brought a tremendous amount of joy to our day. If you want someone who will make you feel heard, make you feel like you, and foster a comforting environment, we cannot recommend Christin enough.

Christian and I had an amazing time shopping at Sephora and Ulta. She’s been doing my makeup for years and knows what works for me. I was so glad that we were finally able to do this in person as I’ve done a virtual makeup lesson with her before. Christin sent me a summary afterwards and I continued to reach out and ask follow up questions. She’s so responsive, which is why I was ECSTATIC that our schedules aligned and were able to shop in person. I purchased staple items and she convinced me to get try a new eye shadow that I’ve been wearing almost everyday.

Christin was an absolute pleasure to work with! She provided makeup and grooming services for our team during our professional headshot session, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
She was professional, personable, and took the time to listen to everyone's preferences, making sure each team member looked polished while still feeling like themselves. Christin created a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere throughout the day, and her attention to detail truly showed in our final photos.
We highly recommend Christin to anyone looking for makeup and grooming services for professional headshots, branding sessions, or special events. Thank you for helping the team at the Law Offices of Johnine Clark, P.A. look and feel our best!
