Christi Reynolds Makeup Artistry

The reviews Christi already has "read for themselves" ... she's brilliant, a true artist with a makeup brush in hand. Christi was the one vendor I knew I wanted from the beginning of my planning. I did know Christi in high school but we didn't keep in touch. We found each other on Facebook years after graduation and that is when I discovered her fabulous talent for makeup. I began following along to her beautiful people and knew when my day came; she is the one I would book. She lived up to and beyond my expectations. I was full of confidence on my wedding day and not afraid to get emotional knowing that my makeup would stay in place, and that it did. I was beyond impressed with Christi's way to calm my nerves while she made me up. I have a large family and the wedding venue was a little bit of a trip for my close relatives and wedding party, a lot of people came early to help set up and we couldn't keep them out of the bridal room. Christi remained sweet as can be, even when my 80-year-old Nana stood close and stared at us for the entire time. I almost shoo'ed my Nana away but again, Christi controlled those nerves and was nothing but polite and sweet to my large and loud family. She was wonderful to work with, kept to the schedule and I plus all of my girls were ready right on time. Christi is as lovely as can be and a true gem to work with and of course knows how to make you gorgeous with what you already have, I looked like me but a beautiful, classy, well polished bride. I wish I could hire Christi every morning to apply that perfect makeup daily. I highly recommend Christi with full confidence.

Christi is an amazing makeup artist!! My bridesmaids and I looked great the day of my wedding and couldnt have been happier with the way our makeup turned out!

Finding the makeup artist wasn’t an easy task given I don’t have strong facial feature. As a result, I checked the makeup portfolios a lot while searching one for my wedding day. Christi definitely has the capability and the versatility that we could discuss a lot on the color palette and the eye shape that went with my style and essentiated my features. At the same time, the makeup was still felt light, approachable, and I still looked like myself. She handled my feature and my style so beautiful that I could totally embrace to be the most beautiful woman on my wedding day:)

Christi was amazing! Not only is she wonderful at hair and makeup, but she’s also very professional. You can count on her to be there when you need her, and she’s very prompt about answering emails. She would usually respond to my email within ½ hour of me emailing, and sometimes she would even call me which was nice. I felt like we were always on the same page about what I wanted which can be extremely comforting when you are going through such a stressful time.

I found Christi through a local photographer who is a preferred vendor for our venue. From the research I had been doing, Christi seemed to be one of the few makeup artist I could find who really seemed to know her stuff. I was a little apprehensive going into my trial appointment…What if I didn’t like her style??? Well, that all changed as soon as I sat in her chair and we started talking about the look I was going for. She seemed to understand everything I wanted without me having to explain it too much. Not only that, she also seemed really excited about it. By the end of my trial I felt completely confident in her ability to make me my most beautiful on my wedding day.

The day of our wedding she showed up on time, if not a few minutes early. She made me, and all the other ladies getting our hair/makeup done feel extremely comfortable. It was amazing to watch each woman, one by one be transformed by her. She also did my Mom, and my husbands Moms makeup and they both looked so beautiful! She made them both look significantly younger, and their skin looked so smooth! So ladies, if your Mothers are feeling hesitant about having Christi do their makeup telling them not to worry! I have never seen our mothers look so beautiful! All of our makeup lasted all night, which is pretty amazing considering how hot it was. :)

My wedding day was amazing, and only made better by my experience with Christi. You can tell she is passionate about her work, and that’s exactly what you want from someone who is helping you create one of the most important days of your life.

I originally contacted Christi for makeup and had done a trial run, which turned out amazing. A week prior to my wedding my hair dresser stopped communicating with me. I contacted Christi regarding doing my hair as well. Christi asked me to send her some pictures of some hair styles I was looking at. I sent Christi a few pictures but I was leaning to one style in particular. Christi was upfront and stated that she didn't know if she could complete the look and gave me some other stylists to contact. Very shortly after that email Christi followed up with me and said that she was open to try the look though. I went in that Tuesday for a trial run on my hair and it looked amazing. When my wedding day came, my hair and makeup were flawless. Everyone kept telling me I looked like a princess. Christi was completely professional and fun the entire time. She is an absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to anyone and have given her name to many friends already.

I contacted Christi about doing makeup for my wedding just a few weeks before the big day after a bad experience with another makeup artist. She responded to my inquiry right away and, lucky for me, she was still available for my wedding date. She squeezed me in just a few days later for a trial run and I was blown away by her airbrushing technique and the way she made me look stunningly gorgeous, but still like myself. She also really made a point to ask what I was looking for and gave me options during the trial run. Christi is such a sweetheart and extremely communicative, which will put any bride at ease. On the big day, my sister and sister-in-law have never looked so amazing and I felt like the most beautiful girl in the world at my wedding. What else can a girl ask for?

Christi was AMAZING. She made me feel comfortable and I was completely confident in her abilities. She is so personable and wonderful. She fit right in with me and my bridesmaids on the morning of my wedding. And she made me look beautiful! I was so impressed by the quality of her work. Everything was perfect and it all looked incredible in my wedding pictures.

Christi is awesome. She is sweet, professional, responsive, and, of course, fantastic at making you look beautiful on your special day! Christi is flexible and really listens to what her brides are looking for. I would, without a doubt, recommend Christi to anyone who wants to look gorgeous :)

My good friend had her weddin day makeup done by Christi so when her website came up on my search for a Sacramento area makeup artist for my own wedding I knew I had a call to make. From our first conversation I knew my decision was already made. My trial went so well, Christi was very professional and very helpful when it came to deciding the perfect day of styles for both hair and makeup. Come wedding day I couldn't have asked for a better team. Christi and her assistant Kayci were so friendly and my bridesmaids, mother-in-law, mother and flower girls looked beautiful!! I have already recommended Christi to my MOH for her wedding next Fall! I would recommend Christi Reynolds to any bride in need of wedding day hair and/or makeup. :)

So professional and so good at creating a beautiful version of "you." My makeup looked beautiful in person and in photos, and best of all, I still looked like me. Christi did such an exceptional job and I couldn't have been happier with the results. A very professional makeup artist all around from talent, to punctuality, to communication - with a fantastic personality!

Christi did an OUTSTANDING job on my make-up as well as the make-up of my aunt, mom and sister. She is amazing and super accommodating, at the request of my photographer we had to tweak our schedule just a bit but she made sure that we were all done and ready to go with time to spare. All our make-up looked FABOULOUS and natural and since none of us wear a lot of make-up regularly Christi and her assistant managed to enhance our natural beauty without making us look overly done up. Christi is super sweet and knows her stuff and I never worried that I would look anything but gorgeous on my wedding day!

Christie was very professional and did a wonderful job on myself and all my bridesmaids. She was a gem to work with!!

I contacted Christi based on the glowing recommendation from my photographer, and seeing as she edits hundreds of photos of brides weekly I trusted her opinion. All it took was one phone call and I knew I was going to love Christi; I hired her immediately. My trial was easy and fun, like hanging out with an old girlfriend. One look at my inspiration photo and Christi completely nailed the look I was hoping for. The morning of the wedding Christi showed up to my hotel room perfectly on time and got right to work making myself, my mom, my mother-in-law and four bridesmaids look gorgeous. While she worked the brush was truly an extension of her hand and she effortlessly applied the makeup while giving us makeup advice, product recommendations and even telling us some entertaining stories. To be honest, Christi was the star of her own little show, with all of us girls sitting around all afternoon watching her work her magic. Throughout the day, the room would fill with oohs and aahs as each girl turned around to reveal her final look. She worked so efficiently that she actually finished all of us girls ahead of schedule! I cannot imagine the morning of my wedding being as enjoyable and stress-free if Christi hadn't have been there. I will recommend her to every bride I come across!

I can not say enough about Christi Reynolds! She made me feel and look absolutely beautiful. I felt like a bride should feel on her wedding day. She listened exactly to what I wanted my make-up to look like and she exceeded my expectations. Christi had the daunting task of applying make-up to 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers and a bride. She arrived on time and got right to work. On such a stressful morning, Christi felt like one of the girls hanging out with all of us. I spent most of the morning sitting in the hotel room watching each girl take a turn in Christi's chair and chatting. It was one of my favorite memories of that day. All of my bridesmaids were extremely pleased with their make-up and they all felt beautiful. I highly recommend Christi for your wedding day make-up needs! I keep trying to find an excuse for her to apply my make-up again!

Christi was AMAZING!!! She was referred to me by my photographer. She actually did my makeup and hair for my wedding. For my consultation I sent her a picture an hour before and she totally was open to my idea for hair. She will enhance your features not cover them up and will give you a honest opinion of her thoughts. I truly would refer Christi to anyone I know she was awesome.

Christey was great! she helped me look my best on my wedding day! I also had a trial with her and she was very helpful in helping pick colors that would make me look natural, but still glamorous. She had great tips on long lasting lipcolors and brands i could try before the wedding I loved my eyelashes and smokey eye! Thanks Christey

Christi is super kind and super talented - I hired her for makeup services the day of my wedding (May 29th) . I had a trial with someone else before I met Christi and it went horribly horribly wrong. I wanted something natural - something that made me look like a dewey blushing bride - which Christi was a pro at. Not to mention she's a total pleasure to be around.

She was also super flexible. Several girls (after seeing how talented she was) asked to have their makeup done too the day of the wedding. She was super chill and accommodating about their change of heart and made time to enhance their beauty too.

Hi Christi!

I just wanted to take this survey and let you know how happy I was with your service and you were just so fun and easy to work with. Our pictures turned out awesome and my family and friends were just so in awe over how I looked on my special day. I think Steve's eyes popped out of his head when he saw me walking down the asile. I am so happy I took a chance when I Googled a make up artist and saw your name which was the same as mine at the time. It was meant to be! Now my friend Andrea was very happy with your work for her recent photo shoot and you are doing make up for my sister and me on her day in November. So happy I was able to tell them all about your great work! SO I will see you in November on Kerri's wedding day!

PS. I felt bad that we didn't get a chance to get a picture together just you and I when you were finished with my makeup. I know you asked for that and everything just got so crazy.

Christi was an absolute godsend! I had a trial make-up appointment with her before my e-session, and I knew right away I had made the right choice. She does a beautiful, natural application, that makes you feel just like a bride should... completely beautiful! She responded quickly to all of my emails, and she even took on doing my sister's make-up last-minute. On top of her talented make-up skills she's also a total sweetheart, and very easy to talk to. I feel so lucky that I found her for my big day, and I highly recommend her to other brides! Thanks Christi <3

Christi was fabulous! As the bride I felt so beautiful and confident with her work. My bridesmaids were also thrilled with how talented and professional she was. She was wonderful to have as a part of my wedding day. Her friendly and fun personality made it feel like we had an old friend or family member helping us get ready. She worked quickly and was perfectly punctual. I highly recommend Christi to any bride who is looking for a high quality and high class wedding makeup artist.

The best makeup artist for weddings, hand's down! Gives brides a natural, glamorous bridal look which future husband's love! Mine did, and in all the pics it just looks amazing!

I could not have asked for a better experience than I had with Christi doing the make up for my wedding. She listened and heard exactly what I wanted for myself and my bridesmaids. She was extremely professional, responsive to my requests, prompt with communication and she possessed a wonderful personality which put everyone at ease. I could not be happier with the results. Every time I see pictures of the wedding I am reminded just how good of a job she did. Thanks Christi!

Christi has done the makeup for several of my brides and I have recommended her to several more. What she has produced has been natural and lovely and has held up over the heat of a couple of very hot wedding days, and yet has still looked absolutely lovely on the film on my camera and has required virtually no touch ups in Photoshop due to glistening or shininess. She did a great job, and I'd recommend her to more of my brides!
