My Beauty Tonic for Glowing Skin + Easy Detox Water Recipe ✨💧 09/15/2026

Some of my favorite beauty secrets start in the kitchen—not the makeup bag. 💦🍋

I’m sharing two drinks I love keeping in my refrigerator: my Mason Jar Detox Water with basil, lemon, cucumber & blueberries, and my famous Beauty Tonic with ginger, lemon, cinnamon & a little cayenne.

They take just minutes to prep, and when life gets busy, having them ready to grab makes staying hydrated so much easier.

Because taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s those little things we do consistently that make a difference. ❤️

My Milky Rosé Nails article is featured on the September 2026 cover of Women Fitness Magazine!

I wrote this one because I genuinely love this manicure. I’ve recommended soft, understated nails to my clients for years—long before Milky Rosé became a trend—because they’re elegant, flattering and never compete with your makeup, clothes or jewelry.

The article also goes beyond polish and talks about something I believe strongly: beautiful nails start with healthy habits. Hydration, protein, nutrition, taking care of your hands and, yes, wearing sunscreen on them! Our hands are one of the first places to show signs of aging.

I’m so grateful to Women Fitness Magazine for featuring my work—and seeing Milky Rosé Nails right there on the cover made this one extra special. 💕💅

I love men’s grooming because when it’s done right, you shouldn’t really see the makeup—you should just see him.

I had the pleasure of grooming former Golden State Warriors and NBA Champion Festus Ezeli for this gorgeous San Francisco Magazine shoot. And can we talk about these photos? The wardrobe, the setting, the entire shoot was SO good.

For men, my approach is always beautiful skin, subtle grooming and just enough polish to look incredible in front of the camera without ever looking overdone.

Whether it’s an editorial shoot, television appearance, corporate headshots, red carpet or special event, men need a little camera-ready magic too. 😉

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU UPDATED YOUR MAKEUP ROUTINE? 💄

We change our hair, our skincare, our clothes…but somehow we can end up doing our makeup the exact same way for 10 or 20 years. 😂

For a limited time, I’m offering my private 90-minute makeup lesson for $375 (regularly $500).

Bring your skincare, makeup, and brushes—yes, all of it! We’ll go through everything together and figure out what’s working, what isn’t, and what you actually need.

Then I’ll show you how to prep your skin, use your brushes, create a fresh, beautiful daytime look, and take it into an easy evening look.

And please, you do NOT need to go out and buy an entirely new makeup bag. 😂 I want to teach you how to make the most of what you already have and show you what works for you now.

Makeup should be fun. It should make you feel fresh, polished, confident—and most importantly, like yourself. 💕

90 minutes | $500 → $375
Limited End-of-Summer appointments available.

MY GO-TO SUNSCREEN FOR GLOWING SKIN | Christina Flach Makeup 08/12/2026

OK, Costco…you got me again. 😂☀️

I found the Espoir Water Splash Sun Serum SPF 50+ at Costco, and after trying it, I completely understand the hype.

It feels more like skincare than sunscreen—lightweight, hydrating, no greasy feeling, and most importantly, no white cast. It also wears beautifully under makeup, which you know is a big deal for me.

As a makeup artist, I try a LOT of beauty products, and I’m pretty picky about what I actually recommend. This one earned a spot in my routine.

And my little reminder: sunscreen isn’t just for beach days. It’s 365 days a year. Your future skin will thank you. ☀️

Watch my video for the full review—and if you see this at Costco, it’s definitely worth a look. 💋

Your Hands Are Snitches! 😂 Why SPF Matters 08/12/2026

Can we talk about our hands for a minute? 😂☀️

I’m really good about putting sunscreen on my face every single day, but my hands? I realized I wasn’t giving them nearly the same attention.

Think about how much sun they get without us even realizing it—driving, running errands, walking the dog, playing golf, sitting outside having lunch. It all adds up.

So now I keep an SPF 50 sunscreen stick in my car. I swipe it over the backs of my hands before I head out and I’m done. It takes two seconds, so really… no excuses. 😂

We spend so much time and money taking care of the skin on our face. Don’t forget your hands.

Because your face may keep your secrets…

but your hands are SNITCHES! 😂☀️

Now tell me—are you good about putting sunscreen on your hands? THE TRUTH!

Some nights remind you just how blessed you are. ❤️

I’m still smiling after celebrating Modern Luxury San Francisco’s Best of the Bay and being named Best Makeup Stylist.

One of the highlights of the evening was celebrating with Festus Ezeli, the cover star of this special 25th Anniversary issue. I had the privilege of styling him for his cover shoot, so seeing him on the cover and celebrating together made the night even more special.

Thank you to my incredible clients, my Dream Teams, and everyone who has trusted me throughout the years. From celebrity and editorial shoots to weddings, television, and everyday moments, I never take for granted that I get to do what I love.

Feeling incredibly grateful. ❤️

There’s something so beautiful about women embracing their natural curls right now. ✨💋

Curly hair doesn’t have to be “perfect” to be stunning. The right hydration, styling, and confidence can completely transform your look and energy.
