Christina Flach on Beauty, Business, and Building Your Dream Life

Send us Fan MailChristina Flach's journey began with a deeply personal moment - helping her mother, who battled brain cancer, prepare for a date night with her father. This simple act revealed the transformative power of makeup, not just physically but emotionally. "I can make someone feel different with waving my little makeup brush wand and making them look like the best versions of themselves," she explains. This realization sparked a remarkable career path that would lead her to become a celebrity makeup artist represented by three prestigious agencies, the founder of Pretty Girl Makeup, a beauty expert on NBC's California Live, and host of her own show "I'm Too Busy."What makes Christina's approach to beauty refreshing is her holistic perspective. For her, looking beautiful starts from within - proper nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and positive self-talk form the foundation. She dismisses the illusions created by social media filters, encouraging women to focus on authentic beauty rather than chasing unattainable standards. "Don't talk about it, just do it," she advises women hesitant to pursue their dreams, recommending starting part-time if necessary until passion projects can become full-time careers.Beyond her professional success, Christina's story is one of resilience and giving back. After experiencing profound personal losses - her son Bo and husband Ken - she established educational funds at the Northern Light School in Oakland, California, which serves underprivileged children. Her family has collectively raised nearly $200,000 to support educational opportunities for these students. Christina's answer resonates with profound simplicity when asked what she would whisper to every struggling woman: "You are so much more loved than you know."
