Make-Up from Mizzou’s Very Own Christina Whitfield!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mizzou chapter.

 

Christina Whitfield’s fascination with makeup began when she was just a kid. “Ever since I was little, my mom said I went in her makeup drawer and put all of her eye shadows and lipsticks in the right spot,” she says. Granted, Christina’s gotten better at applying make up over the years.

Now, this Texas-raised Zeta Tau Alpha has started a Facebook page exhibiting her makeup artistry skills. She posts pictures of the makeup she’s done for girls who are going to formals, weddings, or even just for nights out.

She recently took on her first wedding job for another Zeta’s older sister. “I was nervous because a wedding is a big deal!” she says. But the bride’s makeup was flawless.

 

Christina likes doing other people’s makeup for reasons that extend beyond her love for experimenting with products. “I like to bring out what people don’t usually see in themselves.” We see some gorgeous girls! You can check out her pictures below as well as Christina’s favorites from her makeup bag.  

 

Formal coming up? Be sure to like her Facebook page and make an appointment with her to get your makeup done!
