MEET CHRISTINE

Hello! I have loved makeup and all things beauty ever since I was a little girl and got a hold of my Nana’s Makeup bag and attempted to put lipstick on like she did! I grew up doing my family & friend’s hair and makeup for fun and social events so it was only natural to keep it going and make it my career! I am a licensed cosmetologist and have been in the beauty industry for 17+ years working for major cosmetic brands such as MAC and Benefit, and have been a freelance makeup artist for weddings, special events, and all types of photoshoots since 2006. When I am not glamming up a wedding party I am glamming someone for a boudoir photoshoot or in the salon behind the chair. I am the Lead Makeup Artist & Hairstylist for Beautifully You Boudoir Boston since 2015 working with owner/photographer Christen Grugnale. I’m also a hairstylist and have been working behind the chair for 8 years. I just recently switched salons and am now working at Birch & Mane Hair Studio as a Senior Hairstylist & Master Makeup Artist. I am so grateful I am able to do what I love everyday sharing my artistry to make people feel beautiful from the inside out!
