Pursuing fashion soon opened the door to Christi’s modeling and later teaching self-improvement to women of all ages. She began to see and feel the benefit of high-level makeup artistry skills behind the scenes and quickly realized this needed to be shared with women everywhere. Although Christi learned skills to teach and seek beauty solutions, there was no makeup on the market to get the results she knew could be achieved. Through her excitement of the makeover - transforming a woman within 1 or 2 hours into the most beautiful creature they could be and teaching them how to duplicate their new look at home was a path less traveled, pursued by few. At a very early age Christi began rowing that boat to basic beauty leading into greater beauty for thousands of women and teens. It was thrilling.

Christi’s knowledge of teaching all areas of self-improvement allowed her to look at outer beauty through a different set of lenses. Her motto … “There is no such thing as an unattractive woman or child, simply an untrained one”. Understanding that CONFIDENCE is key and beauty within CAN be ever lasting. Christi saw her Signature Makeover Lesson was an Aha moment to quickly visualize ones own beauty potential. Her students learned how to look their most beautiful, every time, every day. Maintaining confidence at all ages and stages in life can be a struggle, yet to see immediate gratification is naturally an encourager to thrust on, face forward with your best self.

With her success in teaching beauty to rethinking confusing methods – made easy, became her passion in … LIFE!

She simply had an eye for unknown beauty, the art of correction, perfection and result oriented solutions for women’s beauty frustrations. Her entrepreneurial instinct was awakened when she tried and failed to find skincare and makeup products that delivered the results she knew were possible. There simply were none. So she began to create her own while researching medical books, learning how the skin functions, testing makeup mixes on her students, developing techniques and even cutting up brushes to achieve specific widths and lengths. Her students were her guinea pigs who she knew were worthy of the best results. And … they got the best.

Using her custom mixed makeup and skincare (she formulated literally at home) created a high demand from her students and little supply after the classroom. The students wanted the same result at home that she gave them in class, young Christi never looked at a problem more than ten minutes without redirecting her mind to find the solution. Short on funds with few options, Christi refused to let those challenges impede her students from the results they desired. She started Christi Harris Cosmetics from scratch...soon becoming legally bound for beauty, as the innovator of Self-Beauty allowing women to See It. Learn It. Do It.

Christi allowed her talent to transcend the industry, to filter through to other developing artists and hair designers. They would then be able to observe their clients in a fresh light and express their vision more clearly, enabling the client to achieve their true beauty potential. Christi’s iconic method of training staff and teaching clients has attracted captains of industry, moms and teens from all over the US.

Her skills have only sharpened over the years, through experience and knowledge. Yet, never bowing to trends, and instead developing solutions that make sense and deliver results both in beauty and business.

But Christi was short on funds and had few options. However she refused to let those challenges impede her progress, and started Christi Harris makeup from scratch - soon becoming legally bound for beauty.

As is the way for many 8-year old girls, her precious dolls were her first clients, she created and practiced and allowed her artistry to develop. Soon, her Mom became her muse, allowing her to explore and create, to understand how to engage with ‘real’ people and to ask hard questions, learning all the time. All of these impressionable experiences prepared Christi for her future in the beauty industry. Soon, the pretending stopped and the real education began for Christi. Passionate about having a true understanding of beauty, she was striving for results from her earliest ventures into the world of makeup. Her grandfather, always joked, “Once Christi gets a hold of someone, A little rouge and paint will make a gal look like what she ain’t.” Christi certainly had the passion to transform and train. Her Mom encouraged her to follow her ambitions and to embrace a true ‘can do’ spirit. Christi then began to build her collateral in all things beauty.

Big ideas, big dreams. Christi Harris always had these in abundance. Growing up in the country, on a dusty road near Abilene, Texas, at 8 years old, little Christi would pretend and perform to an imaginary audience, putting her creativity and dreams into action.
