A-List Artistry in Ithaca NY? YES! A-List Makeup Artist Christina has moved to Ithaca!

You may have heard. Our own makeup artist Christina is ENGAGED!! With Christina's recent engagement, she is joining her fella, and future hubby, in Ithaca as he furthers his education at Cornell University. So it makes perfect sense to have her as our lead makeup artist for Ithaca, Elmira, Corning and Binghamton.

We're excited to have a makeup artist based in Ithaca, as we book a number of clients, both bridal and commercial in the area. Plus it's wine country! Who doesn't love that!
Christina has been an artist with A-List Makeup Artistry for four years. Clients rave about her professionalism, warm personality as well as her skill as a makeup artist,

Christina from A-List Artistry was such a joy to work with. She created an elegant, beautiful look that complimented my wedding gown perfectly. Her contributions to the energetic, blissful environment were much appreciated. In addition to the Bride, she made sure everyone felt beautiful; from the Flower Girl to the Matron of Honor, whether they received her services or not. I would highly recommend A-List Artistry!

When I was looking for a makeup artistry, I specifically asked for someone that has experience on doing Asian bride makeups because I had some bad experience before and I didn't want to ruin my big day. Then I found Christina. Christina was great. She listened to what kind of look I want, and went from there. She also thought about some possible ways to make me look even better at her own time. She was very professional and did a great job on me and everyone else that needed the makeup service that day. My mother-in-law felt beautiful the entire day. I would highly recommend A-List Artistry for your makeup service. They won't disappoint you!

I wish I had enough words to explain how much fun it was working with Christina. She has such a positive energy and a lovely smile, it makes you forget all the big day's stress. She is very talented and flexible. She listened everyone's wishlist very carefully and made great suggestions. The end result was beautiful on our multicultural bridal party with different skin complexions and facial features. I have worked with her in two separate occasions now. I would not even think about searching for someone else if I need another make up session for a different event. I love you Christina and Holly for your constant support, help, flexibility, love, and joyful atmosphere you create! -Tumay
In addition to bridal makeup, Christina specializes in commercial and corporate work ranging from magazine covers, to ad campaigns, to television broadcasts.

Sandra's Mirbeau Inn and Spa wedding makeup in Skaneateles NY

One of the reasons I love Mirbeau Inn and Spa is it is such a serene environment for a bride to get ready in. I was so happy Sandra agreed to have her makeup done on the patio area outside of her room. Natural light is the best to do makeup in and the location gave us plenty of light!
And imagine my surprise when photographer Mary Buttolph was climbing in a tree to get this shot! 


The gardens make a beautiful backdrop!

So many fun and unique details!
I totally have a thing for posting brides shoes. I love how the shoes can show a bride's style and personality!
