I've had the pleasure of working with Christina throughout this entire year, and I can't recommend her highly enough. As a photographer, I've collaborated with countless makeup artists, and she stands out as truly exceptional. We host monthly pop up sessions at my studio and they are always my favorite days of the month! Her talent for bringing out each person's best features is remarkable. I work with incredibly diverse clientele—different ages, skin tones, backgrounds, styles—and she has this beautiful ability to see what makes each person uniquely stunning and enhance that. Everyone looks like the most radiant version of themselves. Beyond her technical brilliance, she brings this grounded, warm presence to every shoot that puts people at ease. She's easy to talk to, intuitive, and just wonderful to collaborate with. Whether I'm shooting portraits, commercial work, editorial, or anything in between, she elevates the entire experience. She doesn't just do makeup—she honors each person who sits in her chair. Hire her. 100%. You won't regret it!
Christina is truly magical. I attended a pop-up headshot event where she provided a thoughtful, professional assessment of the makeup that would work best for me. I loved that her approach was about enhancing you; no heavy, caked-on makeup and no one-size-fits-all formula. I was nervous going in, but Christina immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. Despite the number of clients at the event, I never felt rushed—her attention felt focused and intentional throughout. It was such a positive experience that I plan to make this part of my yearly routine, if only as a reminder to prioritize a little self-care.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Christina Choi for my book launch event in San Francisco on 10/28/2025, and I can't say enough incredible things about her and her work! I first met Christina in September 2024 at a women's media conference where she was a vendor. She immediately exuded warmth, professionalism, and passion for her craft. I fell in love with her energy and her products right away, so much so that I knew instantly I wanted her to be a part of my big moment. Fast forward to my book launch: Christina welcomed me into her beautiful studio and created the most natural, luminous look that was exactly what I needed as someone who doesn't wear makeup regularly. She honored my desire to look like myself, just a little more polished and camera-ready, and absolutely delivered. She event kept my freckles shining through! I received so many compliments that night, not about the makeup, but about how glowing and confident I looked... and that's exactly what great makeup should do. Christina is the perfect blend of artist and pro - attentive, patient, and truly invested in making you feel your best. If you're looking for makeup that enhances you without masking who you are, Christina is the person to trust. I'm so grateful to her for helping me shine during such a special milestone. Highly, highly recommend.
I had the pleasure of working with Christina Choi during a recent pop-up photoshoot, and she completely exceeded my expectations. She did my makeup for professional headshots, and the entire experience was stress-free from start to finish. Usually, I feel self-conscious or even judged when getting my makeup done, but with Christina, I felt none of that. She explained every step of the process, like why she chose certain products or why certain techniques work better for my skin/features, and it made the whole thing feel approachable instead of intimidating. What really stood out was how she created a look that not only complemented my outfit but also felt true to me. She has such an eye for detail, and she’s thoughtful about tailoring the look to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. I walked away not only loving my makeup but also genuinely excited about the idea of taking lessons from her, which is something I never thought I’d want to do. I even picked up a few of her products afterward because I loved them so much. Christina is warm, professional, and incredibly talented. I can’t recommend her enough if you want a makeup artist who listens, teaches, and makes you feel your absolute best.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Christina for my wedding day, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. We did a makeup trial a few weeks before the wedding, during which she took the time to understand my daily makeup routine and what I was comfortable with. She was incredibly friendly, made me feel completely at ease, and was open to any feedback I had. On the wedding day, she made me feel beautiful while still looking like myself, which was very important to me. She listened carefully to my preferences and made thoughtful adjustments to ensure everything was just right. Her calm and positive energy really helped set the tone for a stress-free morning. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a skilled, kind, and professional makeup artist. She truly went above and beyond!
