I booked Conceptual Beauty for my engagement shoot and my wedding. I wanted hair and makeup that was more glamorous and done-up than I normally have, as I was going for a fantasy, Labyrinth-inspired look, and Christin did a great job. She checked with me as she did the makeup to ensure that we were on the same page, and was very attentive when I requested a change here or there at the end to get it just right! I'd never had such dramatic makeup before, and to be honest, it looked a bit overdone in person, but in photos it looked great. So that is one thing to consider: decide how much you want to look like you normally do, and whether it's more important to look better in photos or in person (or some balance of the two), as that really helps clarify for Christin what direction to take the makeup in. I'm happy with the dramatic results!

Christin did a fantastic job on my makeup, my bridesmaids, and my mom for my wedding. She was on time and stuck to her schedule and was very professional. She listened to what we wanted and made us all look like movie stairs, from my mom who wanted something very natural to my one bridesmaid who wanted to dramatic smoky eye. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup and was nervous about looking weird, but Christin made me look so glamorous and beautiful, I had nothing to worry about. She knows what she's doing. The best part about working with Christin is she is so nice, friendly, and fun to be around. She had all of us laughing the entire morning while we were getting ready. When you sit in her chair you feel like you're chatting with an old friend. She totally put me at ease at morning of my wedding. I really loved working with her!

Christin did a fabulous job with my makeup and my bridesmaids' makeup. She really listens to what you want and works with your during the consultation to get it just right. Plus, she's super friendly and easy to work with. Very quick to respond to emails and work with your schedule when meeting. I felt like I looked like me on my wedding-just what I wanted.

Christin was a delight to work with and she did a lovely job with my makeup. When I changed my mind about my lipstick last minute after she already finished, she was incredibly flexible and got me exactly what I wanted.
She is so sweet and fun, and everyone around just loved her!

Christin is an artist! She is just the sweetest, and makes you feel right at ease while she's working. Not to mention her work is flawless! She helped me work through exactly what I wanted and even answered frantic emails about changing lip colors. Everyone that saw my makeup has wanted to use her since! I wish I could have her for every event!

Christin was amazing! She made me, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my bridesmaid look beautiful. She made everyone feel comfortable in the way they looked. We did a trial several months before the wedding and she took the time and effort to listen to what we wanted, and then make us look better than we could have expected. She responded to emails incredibly quickly, and was flexible to changes that needed to be made. I have already recommended Christin to my friends getting married in the future, and I will continue to pass her information to anyone who will listen. I will definitely use her in the future for other events for myself.

I hired Christin Michelle to do the makeup for myself, my 2 bridesmaids and the 2 mothers. Christin showed up on time, was professional but easy going and made me look like a model. I don't wear makeup at all so I was very nervous about how I would look on my wedding. My makeup was spectacular! I've never looked more beautiful in my opinion which was echoed by so many guests. I often look at those pictures from almost a year ago now and hardly believe what Christin was able to do with my face in less than an hour. She did as wonderful of a job on both the mothers, and bridesmaids. It's also important to note that she did make-up on more than 1 ethnicity that day and made us all look great. I would love to hire Christin again if I had a special event to go to.

Calm, Professional and Brilliant!
I'm a photographer specializing in Portraits, Candids & Creative Project Photography.. I work with Conceptual Beauty [Christin] very often on my team.. I honestly can't think of a better MUA Professional to call-on when I have a special shoot.. which is always! :) ....So, Christin is definitely my go-to professional for absolutely flawless makeup. Her expert skill level out-weighs everything else, but I have to say how she adapts, listens, then translates each shoot session's concept through "makeup" is amazing to me.. Moods and personalities are important during a photography session.. and once Christin's makeup application is completed, models are always natural, elegant and simply beautiful. This creates even more excitement on the shoot set, presenting wonderful realistic energy in the final images for the session. Throughout the shoots, once she sets the makeup, it lasts - her long lasting make up techniques are wonderful and saves me time (not a lot of breaks for touchups). Just a few other great things to note about Christin.. She has a relaxing personality; professional; punctual; makeup application doesn't take forever; her makeup kit is always prepared; uses quality products; she knows what works & will suit you best; knows the difference between makeup for photography/lights and makeup for special occasion/real-life. I highly recommend Conceptual Beauty for your bridal makeup needs, for makeup lessons, make-overs, special occasions, actor headshots or appearances and editorials.

I can't stop raving about Christin's artistry. If I could give her 100 stars, that still wouldn't be enough.
First of all, she made my mother feel comfortable. My mom wears very simple make-up, so when we went for my trial, my mom did one at the same time. When Christin was done, mom couldn't stop looking at herself. She took a nap while I got mine done, and made sure to sleep pretty so she wouldn't mess it up.
I've had my makeup done by Christin for other events, so I knew she was good. But her wedding day make-up took the cake, no pun intended. My wife NEVER wears make-up, yet was willing to try because she trusts Christin. When I saw her, she took my breath away. She was able to make my wife look beautiful (and a tiny bit feminine), while not making her look like a drag queen (my wife wore a tux to our wedding).
She did my entire bridal party and one of our officiants. Everyone's look was different, to suit their personalities and complexions. It was nice not to have that cookie cutter look where what works for one person looks terrible on another.
I wish I could share pics so you could see the transformation. Her prices are competitive (and by competitive, I mean cheaper than a lot of people), but her execution was top-notch.
Okay, I'll stop waxing poetic now. Go. Hire. Her.

I had the pleasure of working with Christin Birckhead whom I absolutely LOVE! I met her 6 months before my wedding and you would have thought we've know each other for a lifetime! She is sweet, attentive and very professional. I have recommended her to my co-worker/friend and she adores Christin! We have stayed in contact with each other every since then. I stop pass to see her very often to see her and to get tips regarding make-up. I highly recommend her to ANYONE!

Chris did my makeup for my engagement pictures, bridal shower, and wedding. For my wedding she also did my entire bridal party including the junior bridesmaids.
I worked for some time in the cosmetics industry and my level of skill is nowhere near hers. She did such a great job that two of my bridesmaids have stated they will use her when they get married and they live out of town. Yes ladies, Chris will travel.
I looked my ABSOLUTE best when I walked down the aisle and I FLAWLESS in my pictures!

Christin of Conceptual Beauty was professional, prompt, kind and generous with tips on how to keep my look fresh for the event. She is super friendly and the woman can work a brush. Her equipment was professional grade, neat and clean. I would recommend her to any of my girlfriends looking for a photo finish look.
Thanks Chris

Christin is an amazing artist and person. She has created my looks for three galas, special nights out, and a wedding. I recommended her to two brides who are close friends. She has a natural gift. Each and every look is unique, and perfectly suited to the event and my overall look. I give her very little diretion--I just tell her where I'm going and what I'm wearing and she simply says, "I've got it!" And she does.
Most importantly, she is FUN to work with. You will have a blast working with her.
Book Christin for your event and you will not be disappointed.
