Phenomenal Hair and Make-up for Reasonable Price

Cara and her team (Kristen, Tori, Tania) were amazing to work with. Cara's team did make-up for my sister's wedding, so I decided to hire her for both hair and make-up. I didn't exactly know what I wanted, so I ended up having two trials for hair/make-up which Cara was extremely accommodating about (including scheduling one early on a Sunday morning before my bridal shower). I had a very large wedding party (10 bridesmaids, plus mother and mother-in-law) who needed to get ready, and Cara did not charge me for needing extra assistants. She brought two make-up artists (including herself), and two hair artists. One of the hair artists was different than originally planned, so she definitely has a network of qualified people to call on for back-up if needed. The team was very easy to work with, receptive to pictures and feedback from my bridesmaids, and everyone looked stunning. Highly recommend!

Cara and Kristen from Blush were incredible to work with. They were laid back, easy-going, funny and did phenomenal work. They were flexible when one of my bridal party decided at the last minute to get makeup done. I had a ton of compliments, and people asking for Cara and Kristen's information to book appointments with them later! Would highly, highly recommend!

Blush Makeup and Hair Artistry came highly recommended to me by a coworker and I could not be happier with my experience! For my trial, Cara did my makeup and Kristen did my hair. I was stunned by how amazing I looked and knew I did not have to worry about the wedding day. On the wedding day, Cara, Tori, and Kristen arrived early and made sure that my girls and I looked stunning. The high quality of their work lasted all day and night and is evident in photos and video. I cannot recommend Blush Makeup and Hair Artistry enough!

felt so beautiful on my wedding day! Cara and Tori were our makeup team. Every woman looked outstanding- these two truly captured our visions and expectations, lashes where we needed, lip color and more. Many of us came in saying “make me beautiful” and our expectations were exceeded! Everyone looked and felt so beautiful and confident for our day! I wish I could feel that confident every day! Kristen and Melissa were our hairstyling team. Melissa just crushed it, she was so efficient and made everyone she styled look effortlessly and glamorously beautiful. I felt like we were movie stars! Kristen was very precise and made sure every curl, pin and wisp fell or hid or stayed exactly as needed. I came to Kristen with 3 different photos, wanting to blend them. I had no idea how it’d be possible but she exceeded my expectations. This entire team just exudes confidence, excitement and joy for their passion. I was very nervous about beauty prep for my wedding and all four of these women truly made us feel our very best. I’m obsessed and know that if I need hair and makeup done again in the Baltimore area, I will be contacting them!!

Cara, from Blush, and her team were true make up artists. They captured me and my wedding perfectly for our wedding. Having tried other make up artists, I realized that describing what your ideal wedding make up is, may be different from what is traditionally thought of as wedding make up. Even sharing photographs of what you want your face to look like doesn’t necessarily translate to the same look because of different skin types and combinations of color. Cara was able to work with my vision and my face and created a natural, beautiful look that my husband could recognize, the day of my wedding as me. It lasted the entire day without a smudge despite the waterfall of tears I shed that day. My bridal party looked beautiful, each in their own way, as well.

Cara and Kristen with Blush were amazing! Cara was so sweet and amazing to work with during the planning phase and I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life! I still have people telling me how awesome my hair was, thanks to Kristen. I have lots of scars on my arms and Cara really helped by finding special make up that wouldn't rub off and covering them up. I had two hair trial with Kristen. The first I liked but wasn't in love with. So I went back to Kristen and she took 2 styles I liked and created a look completely unique for me. On the wedding day they were amazing! They got myself, my mom, and 5 bridesmaids hair and make up done in 4 hours. Cara brought in an extra hair stylist to make sure we would all be ready in time. I would absolutely use them again in a heartbeat!

Cara did my makeup for my wedding on June 3, 2017. Everything looked so beautiful and the makeup lasted through the night for all the pictures. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist! Thanks Cara!
