Christina was born and raised in Los Angeles and now resides on the East Coast. Her first memory of being infatuated with colors was when she would search through her coloring books until she found the pictures that had faces so she could draw on their makeup. Then she graduated to dressing her Barbie dolls.
Christina first stepped into the world of fashion when she started working at Ice Capades, making colorful and elaborate costumes. Next she found herself at a high-end department store where she worked for several different cosmetics lines. After being promoted to the store’s Beauty Director and then Personal Shopper, Christina took some time to also experience another life-long passion, working with exotic animals. She trained leopards and tigers for the film industry.
Following that, she spent many years doing hair, makeup and wardrobe styling for fashion, commercial, print and runway shows, along with teaching her craft to students and working on several TV and film productions. Between all the photo shoots, television and film work, Christina found the time to start her own cosmetic line, Photographer's Palette, a cosmetic touch-up kit.
Christina loves to focus on the natural beauty of a client’s face by bringing out her best features and enhancing them. She feels very blessed that she has a career that combines so many of her passions -- makeup, styling and traveling! Now she just needs to figure out how she can bring her dogs, Lilly and Eddie, with her on location.
