Cristal Stephani MAKEUP ARTIST
She is amazing
"I would highly recommend Cristal. She is an amazing make up artist and she made me look great on my wedding day along with my bridesmaids and mom.
I have tried five other make up artists trials and she was the only one that didn't make me feel like I was wearing a mask and feeling like I looked like myself. She really listens to what you want and gives great direction. I would book her again for future event."

I was a stunning bride
"Cristal was so understanding during the wedding process having to postpone and change dates due to the pandemic and the California wildfires. She listens and pays close attention to details. She is fun and it was great to talk to her about star wars. I looked amazing for my wedding day. Can't thank her enough"
-Angelia T
Artist who actually listens
"Worth ever penny and more. I'm very picky and don't like it when makeup artists do my makeup however they feel comfortable and not as I've requested. I love that Cristal completely listened, understood, and created the exact look I wanted for my special day. She matched my foundation seamlessly and made me feel completely comfortable in my own skin. She was adept and professional and did everything with such finesse that I felt calm amid the chaos - in a word, perfection.
I highly recommend her to any woman who wants to look their absolute best effortlessly."

Cristal has craftsmanship!
"I trusted Cristal with one of the most important days of my life- my wedding day. Previous to that, she helped with my make-up for my engagement shoot. Both times I was exceptionally happy with the results. Cristal took her time, she planned accordingly so that the process did not feel rushed in any way. We had a trial run for my wedding day, which helped tremendously narrowing down the look I wanted. I shared photos I found online to give her a visual of the type/look I envisioned. Cristal was very open to my vision and provided her own feedback based on her experience, my skin type, skin tone and face shape.
On the week of my wedding the anxiety and excitement manifested itself by way of a huge pimple on the left side of my face!! (I know, a brides worst nightmare!! ). By the day of the wedding, the pimple had simmered down but I burned the skin around it with over-applying salicylic acid. Cristal worked her craft and basically made it disappear!! (I will upload a photo of the area during make-up application before it is finished and one of that side of the face after make-up is complete). I was so happy and thankful! I appreciated how meticulous Cristal is with detail, down to the hygiene! She takes pride in the cleaning of her brushes and it is visible. My overall experience/s with Cristal have been very pleasant. She is professional and knowledgeable in her craft. I truly highly recommend her! I personally have her in my phone book for any future make-up services I may need."

AMAZING - couldn’t recommend more
"Wow - I was blown away by Cristal’s skills, demeanor, and proactive communication. She did an excellent job with the trial - She was very open to feedback and did a great job translating my vision into the perfect look, even explaining how I could parts translate into my daily routine.
100% of my group loved their looks too. Leading up to the wedding day, Cristal was proactive friendly and knowledgeable. On the wedding day she helped keep us on schedule while also offering a sense of flexibility and calming presence. Couldn’t recommend her more - check out her IG to get a sense of her skills!"

"Cristal did a great job on my makeup for my elopement in Big Sur! She was friendly, punctual and customized the look based on what I wanted - somewhere between natural and glam. My makeup stayed in place all day and my skin never got shiny. Cristal also did a great job on false lashes - they didn't irritate me at all. I also appreciated that she took covid safety seriously."

-Piper G
"Cristal did the make up for my wedding for myself, 4 bridesmaids, and my mother! Her professional and talent was shown starting with my bridal trial. She gave me lots of ideas and options of what I could do and created the most perfect look for my day.
Leading up to my big day, one of my bridesmaids developed a skin issue and I contacted Cristal to give her a heads up. She returned with lots of knowledgeable tips and gave us lots of advice on how to help her and made all of us feel at ease.
The day of my wedding, she showed up exactly on time and had her schedule planned out. Her timing on everything was perfect and we had a completely stress free morning!
On top of Cristal talent and professionalism, she is also so kind, charismatic and just a joy to be around. She made all of us feel so beautiful and my pictures are there to prove it. I highly recommend Cristal for your wedding or any event that you need a self esteem boost!
Thank you so much Cristal!"

"Cristal is an AMAZING makeup artist. I 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone, as her passion and love comes through her work to make every individual bride and bridesmaid feel confident and beautiful. I've had the pleasure of doing a bridal trial makeup and wedding day makeup with Cristal, and all my bridesmaids also raved about her & the makeup she did for them as well. Cristal's warm personality makes everyone feel welcomed & cared about, and her hard-work/dedication shines through her artistry."
-Carolyn S
"Cristal is a wonderful & talented makeup artist who exceeded all expectations! From my first trial to the day-of wedding makeup; she was kind, attentive, and professional. I appreciate her expertise, patience, and excitement while helping me create my bridal makeup look! Cristal takes the time to talk with her clients and explain different makeup techniques to help them feel the most confident. I really appreciated how understanding & open she was, I never felt intimidated to ask her questions or to experiment with an idea, which is such an important part of trial bridal makeup! I had 8 ladies total who needed makeup services the day of my wedding and she did an amazing job on every single one of us, all while having a fun & positive attitude that made everyone feel comfortable. I am so grateful I came across Cristal and would 100% recommend her!!"
-Megyn P
"Cristal helped to make my dream wedding come true. I wanted everything about my wedding to be perfect including my makeup. I contacted Cristal and from the very beginning I knew that she was special. During my trial she was such a pro about selecting the make that would enhance my features to create a look that I didn't even know how I could achieve. She is so personable and such a professional. On my wedding day she made me feel like a princess! I am so grateful that I found her. I highly recommend Cristal....she will make your dreams come true too!"
-Sharon R
"Cristal was amazing from start to finish. Professional, clean, and knowledgeable. I hired her for my wedding and everyone loved her! She made me look amazing even with my paper pale skin (so hard to find foundation for but she did it perfect!). I had hired a hairstylist that had a very um "big" personality but Cristal worked with her like a pro! She even waited on me being 45 minutes late to the touchups before the reception. (Thank you again Cristal for dealing with that!) 100% would recommend to anyone."
-Victoria J
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Cristal did an amazing job on my makeup for my 60th Birthday party in October 2021! I felt so polished and beautiful without feeling overdone. The compliments I received throughout my special evening specific to my makeup were a testament to Cristal’s artistry.
I’ve had my makeup done numerous times over the years for various special occasions but never has it felt so comfortable and natural. My experience with Cristal was a wonderful collaboration. She listened to everything I was asking for, made her own suggestions and the outcome was exactly what I wanted. Cristal also did the makeup for my daughter and daughter in law that night and they also looked amazing.
I also took advantage of Cristal’s trial makeup application prior to my event. While I promise you would have an amazing result the day of your event without a trial, I highly recommend it. If you’re as picky as me, a trial allows you to discuss your expectations, agree on the look you want AND wear it so you can see how it will hold up several hours into your event. At my trial Cristal recommended I do some facial exfoliating prior to my event. I did. She was so right!! My makeup looked even more fresh on fresh skin. Thank you Cristal for making me my most beautiful self for my celebration!! "

"Cristal is the BEST! Her studio is so conveniently located right off high way 1 and it has a GORGEOUS view of the scenery around. She made sure from start to finish that I had the best experience. I was looking for a bold glam and she exceeded my expectations. I will be recommending Cristal to everyone for all occasions!"
-Nadine S
"Cristal did my makeup for my wedding, as well as my mom's and sister's makeup. All three of us loved the results, and Cristal was wonderful to work with! She really listened to what each of us wanted, and did a great job bringing to life what we were looking for. She is also really easy-going - I needed to rearrange timing a few times, and she was super helpful, easy-going, and quick to respond. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist!"
-Katherine D
"Cristal is amazing. I'm not a big makeup person but for my upcoming wedding I wanted to enhance my features so I would look great on my special day and in pictures. Cristal has done an amazing job keeping me calm and at ease about the process and explains what she is doing along the way. During the makeup trials she has paid close attention to what I like and don't like and made sure to note everything down. She is fun and easy going and very understanding. Due to the pandemic we had to postpone and change our date several times and each time she been great with the various changes. I can't say enough on how much I love the makeup looks Cristal has done for me. I highly recommend her."
-Angela D
"I am beyond satisfied with the experience and outcome of my bridal makeup with Cristal. I booked Cristal because I wanted someone who'd listen to me and help me feel comfortable. She did not disappoint! She is skilled, professional, responsive, and down-to-earth. I booked a makeup trial and engagement shoot with her and completely trusted her on my wedding day. She had notes of everything we had previously used, so everything by smoothly on the wedding day. I went with a glowy natural look, which was gorgeous, while still feeling like myself. She also did my mom's, MIL's, and SIL's makeup, and we all got many compliments. I highly recommend her!"
