MAKEUP ARTIST

Cristina Rubio Makeup (formerly Cristina Ziemer Beauty) is a modern beauty studio specializing in bridal and professional makeup.

Her work is clean, refined, and intentional — for clients who know what they like, trust the process, and value a natural, recognizable result.

WEDDING MAKEUP SERVICES

Calm, personalized artistry for your unforgettable day.

  • this is not about becoming someone else for your wedding day.

    Your makeup is built with precision—enhancing your natural structure, refining the skin, and creating a look that feels controlled, intentional, and entirely your own.

    Every choice is deliberate: nothing excessive, nothing performative, nothing that won’t translate in real life.

    The result is makeup that holds, photographs cleanly, and allows you to feel steady, not overwhelmed, in the moments that matter most.

    INCLUDES:

    90-Minute Bridal Preview

    We take our time refining your vision — adjusting thoughtfully, landing on a look that feels like you, just elevated.

    90-Minute Wedding Day Application

    Unrushed. Uninterrupted. The space to settle in, exhale, and step into the day feeling steady and certain.

    *** STARTING AT $875 ***

  • this isn’t one-look-fits-all.

    Each person in your wedding party is approached individually—face, skin, comfort level, and personal style—so no one feels overdone or out of place.

    The result is cohesive without being uniform: balanced skin, intentional structure, and makeup that reads clean in photos and real life.

    Everything is executed with efficiency and precision to keep your timeline tight and the energy steady.

    *** STARTING AT $195 ***

Meet the Artist

I’m a makeup artist with 20 years of experience and the founder of Cristina Ziemer Beauty (2015). In 2025, I rebranded as Cristina Rubio Makeup to reflect a fresh chapter in my artistry and business, while continuing to provide the same elevated experience my clients trust. Over the years, I’ve worked with more than 500 brides, as well as commercial clients ranging from Olympic and Paralympic athletes to NFL families.

My work has been featured on three Minnesota Bride covers and a Sports Illustrated cover, and I’ve partnered with brands including Hershey, General Mills, Post Cereal, Kennedy Blue, the NFL, Mayo Clinic, and Delta Airlines.

Beyond the brush, I’ve helped shape the industry itself. I played a key role in legislative reform that protects Minnesota special-event hair and makeup artists from unnecessary schooling requirements, allowing artists to build sustainable, successful careers. I’m a Minnesota Special Events Hair and Makeup Certified Provider (2020, #PP200039).

At Cristina Rubio Makeup, my goal is simple: to deliver elevated artistry and a calm, confident experience, leaving clients looking and feeling their absolute best.
