The best make up artist! ♥️

Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my special day Cris! ♥️

Not only did my makeup last all the way til midnight, but Cris also made sure my veil stayed perfectly in place and even shared the bathroom trick to remove the crease! Those little thoughtful touches meant so much. You can really tell she loves what she does and her craft. And sneaking some mints, oil control sheets and biscuits into my bride bag, so thoughtful. 🥹

Thank you for taking such good care of me, my mum and my sister on my wedding day and for being such an incredible makeup artist. I'm so grateful! ♥️

Love,
Gen and Tom

Bride and Groom Ready for the Big Day! Thank you Cris 💖

Cris is an amazing makeup artist, and I’m so glad I found her! 💖 From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly and such a pleasure to be around. Her warm energy and lovely personality made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day.

I was specifically looking for a local Filipino makeup artist who could create a soft, natural and subtle look without making the makeup feel too heavy and Cris absolutely nailed it. She listened carefully to what I wanted and made me feel like the best version of myself. My makeup looked beautiful both in person and in the photos, and it lasted throughout the day.
She also did an incredible job with the groom’s makeup. It was very natural and discreet, but it covered his blemishes perfectly and made his skin look fresh and even without looking like he was wearing makeup. ✨

Cris offers such a unique and thoughtful service within the bridal makeup industry. She is talented, attentive and genuinely cares about making her clients feel comfortable and confident. I would highly recommend her to any bride or couple looking for beautiful, natural wedding makeup. Thank you, Cris, for helping us both look and feel amazing on our special day! 💖🥰

Prom Makeup 2026 (Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️)

I had my makeup done by my Ate Cris. It was such a lovely experience, and the result was even better.
She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed the whole time and she paid so much attention to detail to make sure I felt beautiful and confident at my prom night. The professionalism she had shown was absolutely amazing, but it was also mixed with a friendliness that made the whole process even more enjoyable. The end result was just as gorgeous as I love how it didn’t feel too heavy on my skin but still made me feel pretty, I could not thank her enough for this as she made me feel confident and happy at my prom night. 💗⭐️

Perfect Soft Glam by Cris, From Trial to Big Day

I don't wear much makeup normally, so I was looking for someone who could enhance my features without overdoing it. But from the very first trial session, I knew I was in the best hands with Cris. She took the time to really understand the soft glam look I was dreaming of, and on my wedding day she brought it to life perfectly: glowing skin, beautifully blended tones, and just the right touch of definition. It felt elegant and so me, and it lasted beautifully from the ceremony all the way through the night.

However, what made the experience truly special was Cris herself. She is not only talented and professional, with a real understanding of Southeast Asian skin tones and style, but also wonderfully kind and patient. She has a gift for making you feel completely at ease and genuinely cared for. I'm beyond grateful I found her, and I can't recommend Cris enough to any bride looking for a talented, warm-hearted MUA.

Mother of the Bride

Thanks so much Cris for doing makeup for my daughter Emma’s wedding. I was a bit nervous in the day but your gentleness, care and attention to detail put me at ease. I don’t usually wear makeup and you gave me a subtle makeover that I could barely feel was there. You made me look great and feel amazing. The makeup was very light but incredibly long lasting. When Emma walked down the aisle tears were rolling down my face but the makeup didn’t smudge at all. Fantastic work, thank you for making our day so special. 🥰

Excellent makeup artist for my wedding!

I am very very happy with my makeup for the wedding and the whole experience with Cris. Both on the trial and the wedding day, Cris made sure I was comfortable and made me feel so special. On the trial she talked through what she was doing so I could help make decisions about my look. On my wedding day, she did a fantastic job and my makeup lasted all day and I couldn’t feel it on me which was exactly what I wanted. I got so many compliments about the makeup. Thank you so much Cris. I’d 100% recommend 😁

Excellent experience

I had an excellent experience with Cris for my wedding makeup. In the trial, she was very professional and I liked that she gave me tips on how to prepare before my wedding day. She is lovely and supportive and makes you feel very special before and after the makeup is finished. I loved my wedding makeup as it enhanced my features without making me look like a different person. I also felt very comfortable with the makeup on as it wasn’t heavy on my face. The makeup lasted all day and the look on my partner’s face when he saw me after the makeup trial alone said it all… it was perfect! Thank you so much Cris! I recommend her very much as a wedding makeup artist.

She’s incredibly accommodating and really listens to what you want. Highly recommend her for brides looking for that perfect soft glam look! 💕

Beautiful Bridal Look

I had such a lovely experience with Cris! She made me feel comfortable the whole time and put so much care into the look. The soft eyeliner and individual lashes really brought out my eyes, and I couldn’t even feel the lashes on. The finished look made me feel beautiful and confident.

Makeup Last All Day during Summer Heat

I had the pleasure of having my makeup done for a special event at my son's school, and I couldn't be happier with the result. My makeup artist did an incredible job — the look was natural, polished, and just the right amount of glam for a daytime event. I felt confident and camera-ready without looking overdone.
Cris is professional, friendly, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The makeup lasted all day, even through a few emotional moments (proud mum tears included!).
Thank you for making me feel beautiful on such an important day. I’ll definitely be booking again for future occasions!

Wonderful service!

It was an absolute pleasure being a model for Cris. She was incredibly gentle and kind, making me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. I was so impressed by her skills, she tailored the makeup to suit my oily skin and problem areas, enhancing my features beautifully with a soft glam look. The makeup lasted flawlessly, felt incredibly lightweight and looked stunning in both photos and videos. It’s clear that she puts so much care into her clients, ensuring they feel their absolute best. She is truly professional and exceptionally talented!
