​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 LOOKED FLAWLESS in my pictures!
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 ever 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!
