I just wanted to send you the biggest thank you. Looking back on my wedding day, I keep thinking about how incredibly special and beautiful you made me feel. You created exactly what I had envisioned while making me feel completely like myself, and I'll always be grateful for that. Beyond your amazing talent, I can't thank you enough for your warm, nurturing energy. You brought such a sense of calm and joy, and the whole process felt so easy, seamless, and fun. It was such a gift to have someone who made me feel so cared for during such an emotional and exciting day. Thank you for helping me feel my absolute best and for being such a wonderful part of one of the most meaningful days of my life. I'll always remember how beautiful you made me feel, inside and out. I'm so grateful for you! read more

**More than just a makeover!** I was looking for ways to refresh my look and shake off my post-COVID work-from-home rut. I left not only with a polished daytime look that can easily transition into evening, but also with thoughtful advice on skincare, diet, gut health--and a much-needed reminder to drink more water (ugh) . It was a genuinely lovely way to spend the afternoon. The booking experience was smooth, and Christina was fun, patient, and focused on working with the makeup and skincare I already own. There was no pressure to buy anything, though she did recommend a few products I'm excited to explore once I finish what I have. read more

Could not be happier with my experience! She completely understood the vision from the start and brought it to life even better than I imagined. She made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, which made everything effortless and enjoyable. What impressed me most was how incredibly independent and self sufficient she was. She handled setup seamlessly, figured out the best location and positioning on her own, and needed virtually no direction. Her professionalism, talent, and ability to take initiative made such a difference. I would recommend her without hesitation and can't wait to work with her again! read more

**Absolutely Incredible Experience!** I had the most amazing session with Christina! She was incredibly patient and took the time to teach me multiple looks, from everyday natural to night-out glam to elevated, polished styles, all using the makeup I already had. She never made me feel rushed and answered every single question I threw her way. We talked through skincare, routines, and step-by-step techniques, which made everything feel so approachable and easy to recreate on my own. She even encouraged me to try colors I was honestly scared to use before, and they ended up looking *fabulous* on me. I left feeling more confident than ever. To top it all off, she sat down with me afterward and helped me pick out new makeup to round out my collection. Her knowledge, kindness, and genuine passion for what she does made the whole experience unforgettable. I can't recommend her enough! read more

I highly recommend Christina She is professional and friendly but most of all excellent with her skills - i lived my makeup for my photo shoot. Will use her again without a doubt read more

Working with Christina was an incredibly amazing experience for this Mother of the Groom and our family. I don't think I am the first to recognize that when getting ready for a wedding, nerves can sneak into the day. Christina was ever so patient and kind with us and our many requests and she shared a very calming energy. She is a true professional and our makeup was perfect! I was wondering if a fabulous 10am makeup application would still look great at 10pm when the reception was still going strong, and yes, it lasted from the morning all the way through to the end of the day. Us "girls" were so lucky to have Christina create makeup magic for this special day. Thank you!!! read more

Makeup and hair, Christina is passionate about her work and I looked amazing! She is very skilled at makeup for pictures! She did hair and makeup for my daughter's wedding she is fun and punctual! read more

Thank you for make us feel special for my Aunts 80th birthday. You made us feel comfortable and make up was natural,still felt like ourselves read more

Brides listen up! Christina Flach is your excellent addition to the wedding of your dreams. Mine is a first. Scared to bits and boy! I needed help! Christina is timely and confirms the night before. She arrived on time at 8:00 a.m. for a 10:30 a.m. wedding. With her many years experience, Christina is streamlined to a tee. She had everything set up and ready to go immediately, including chair, light and boxes of makeup. While in the process, I learned valuable, intriguing information. That is: "What about Botox?" "What about shaving my face?" "What about Latisse?" "What's the best make up?" All those niggling, internal questions so many of us have deep inside, questions she answers honestly and readily. Throughout the process, Christina made it clear I was in charge. She was supportive of even the smallest detail, such as adding or subtracting color; more sparkles, more eye-brow filler. My photo says it all. The experience of having an expert make up my face brought forth unexpected benefits: How to improve my lipstick by using a lip pencil and how to use it well. Stronger coloring for my eyebrows. Better use of concealer than I was using. Brighter and more thorough foundation. Use of brushes and sponges in ways I had not done before. Christina is a teacher as well as an artist. You learn while being pampered. A double-plus here. Throughout the wedding, my makeup was admired by all with many a compliment coming my way. These will be yours, too, when you go with Christina. read more

I just had the opportunity to work with Christina on updating my makeup routine. She was knowledgeable and thorough, but most importantly fun and made me feel very comfortable. I not only learned a lot in the process, and I will be reaching out to her when I have important events to attend and I want to look my best. Thank you Christina! read more

Christina did such a great job for a photo shoot that before the photographer arrived, a hot young French guy hit on me, and he was a good 20 years younger than me. And somehow I still looked like myself, it was so natural and so perfectly done. So Christina is a miracle worker, plus a wise, wise woman. You'll look like a million bucks and come away with some seriously good advice and a friend, too. read more

Christina was amazing! I recently booked Christina to style my make-up for my wedding, along with my Mom's and my bridesmaids. Christina did an incredible job of tailoring everyone's look to match their own styles; and made all of us look and feel stunning. She is clearly a professional as not only was she fast and kept all of us on schedule for the day, but also our make-up lasted ALL DAY! Prior to Christina I had had some horrible luck in booking a make-up artist for my big day, and I can honestly say that those disappointments were worth it as they ultimately led me to finding and working with Christina. She gave me the greatest gift in making me feel absolutely beautiful on my big day I will always book Christina for all future make-up needs and highly recommend that everyone does the same. She is the BEST! read more

i was trying to think of something special for my wife for Christmas. She's kinda got everything she needs. then i even surprised myself by thinking of giving her a session with a REAL professional makeup person...hang in with me this is the total truth, as always... I remembered talking to a close golf buddy and he said that's what his wife does...like she travels to photo shoots, TV advertising shoots, works with individuals etc. Without asking him again, I searched for her with Safari. I came to find out she does all kinds of related stuff...if you search Christina Flach you can find her...lots of tv interviews available now on youtube...she's really an expert on lots of different subjects...check it out! Back to the review... my wife set up an appt with her (she texted back in about 20 minutes) and she had a great private session with Christina going over products (though she doesn't sell any which is a good sign) and what to buy and where... But it gets better...she gave my wife lots of good info about nutrition, hydration, exercise etc. We now have peeled hard boiled eggs (airtight container please) in the fridge...i don't know for sure but if you text her, i'm quite sure you will be compelled to work with her...this is a great time of year to look your very best i can tell you Christina is very nice. She'll make you feel immediately at ease. Merry Christmas from yours truly, Delbert... read more

I have literally NEVER worn makeup in my life and decided new year, time to learn some life skills. Christina responded so quickly to my message calling for help. She made the tutorial fun, accessible, and funny. It honestly felt like my substitute Novato mom was swooping in to save the day! She made sure I never felt silly for not knowing what I was doing, did a great job showing me on one side and then having me repeat on the other side, and we kept practicing and correcting until I felt comfortable. She also went above and beyond to take me to both Sephora and Target to get me everything I needed, helping to check the right tones and colors for all of the purchases. I appreciated that she didn't try to upsell me on products and told me where the different lower priced options would do the trick. Thank you, Christina, for taking me under your wing and teaching me some make up fundamentals! I pinky promise to start drinking more water too - beauty from the inside out! read more

I had a makeup consultation with Christina. Then we went together to buy some new makeup which was awesome. She picked the most beautiful colors and gave me exactly what I wanted (and didn't know it!) which was a very natural palette of options. It was a super versatile consult and Christina was very kind with my general fear of makeup. Thanks! read more

My mother got her makeup done with Christina and she was so great at teaching my mom all sorts of tips and tricks of how to do her makeup to flatter her face. She was very patient and flexible with my mothers wants and needs from learning how to do her makeup. Christina gave her confidence not only for the day she did her makeup but for her to do her makeup in the future on her own. My mother would recommend Christina for anyone who is looking to improve their own routine. Christina also offered to help with any makeup questions in the future she had as well. read more

Christina Flach is worth every penny! I paid for a makeup tutorial with someone else a few years ago. They helped me in some ways but the foundation color wasn't right. Too light. They didn't get my eyes and the blush was visibly blush. It was supposed to be a $90 tutorial. But they were selling make up- a surprise to me- so I ended up shelling out $250 for a meh job. I went to see Christina last week: she not only got me the right tones of foundation but she used my make up (bring your stuff to her) and she didn't judge my cheap stuff. She taught me what could be cheap and what to spend on and she doesn't sell you anything! She got my face glowing, my eyes bigger (not darker and smaller). She is also a delightful person. read more

Christina is the ultimate professional while at the same time being warm and encouraging and being the perfect person to kick off a celebration as busy and hectic and fun as a wedding. I got so many compliments on my beautiful make up job as did my mother and bridesmaids. Rain or shine, she came ready to work her magic, and boy did she work some magic! Thank you so much, Christina!! :) read more

Christina and her team did an amazing job for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. They made all 6 of us look and feel beautiful! They were so thoughtful with the girls' hair and a bit of make up to make them feel beautiful but age appropriate. And they were such a pleasure to work with! read more

You won't be disappointed! read more

I was a newbie to having my make-up professionally done; I was a bit nervous too, thinking that only models get their make-up done. But, the event I had that night was important and I had heard great things about Christina and Pretty Girl Makeup. When I arrived, Christina made me feel right at home. She is very professional, but felt like a long-time friend. I communicated my desired look, and soon enough I looked as I had hoped. My makeup was done beautifully without being overdone. I am hooked now! Christina even gave me a few tips so I can easily and confidently do my daily make-up.... but, I will always leave important events to Christina, my new best friend! read more

I wish I could give her 10 stars. Christina did my and 2 girlfriends' makeup for my wedding. I don't wear a lot of makeup in general and was nervous about looking unnatural. She was very patient and was able to put together a look, even if I didn't know what I wanted. My husband commented that my makeup looked great and that I still looked like me. Piece of advice: just let her do her thing. She knows what she's doing. She went above and beyond for my wedding and when time was running out, she jumped in and helped me with my dress and undergarments when none of us knew what to do. I will always remember that. She was so maternal and so sweet and we had a ball with her. I'm so pleased she was part of my special day and her Cabo recommendations were totally spot on! We had a blast. Thanks Christina! You made an impact more than you know. read more

Christina is a true professional with a keen eye for detail. She's been doing make up for quite a while and knows what she is doing. I am not a person that wears make up and I do not like the "made-up" look, and she made me look like a much better version of myself. It's what she does and she does it well. She is the best! read more

Christina did a great job for my hair and makeup on my wedding day! I don't typically wear makeup or do anything fancy with my hair, so I went to her pretty clueless about the process. I described that I wanted something fairly subtle, just a fancier version of myself. She is very welcoming, and put me at ease right away. I tend to be a bit shy and was unsure of the process, but she walked me through the whole thing, and made me feel welcome and comfortable! I felt that I looked great on my wedding day! read more

Christina is the best makeup artist in the Bay area. She will create a custom look for you that highlights your best features and camouflages any imperfections without creating that "done" look.
