Carina helped me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt!

My sister hired Carina for her wedding makeup in 2023, and she was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding in September 2025! I’m not someone who wears a lot of makeup, so I went into my sister’s wedding day having no idea what I wanted. However, Carina did such a beautiful job of elevating my natural beauty that I knew I could trust her on my own wedding day. We made a few tweaks from my trial, but she made sure everything was perfect on the day of my wedding, and she helped me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt, which is what every bride deserves! Not only that, but my family and friends absolutely adored her!

A dream to work with!

Carina was such a dream to work with and did such a beautiful job on my bridal makeup including my bridal party! She was very receptive and understanding of my vision and executed exactly how I imagined. She was a pleasure to be with on my wedding morning and I can't recommend her enough on how talented she is!

A total pro, and the warmest presence

I’m so grateful to have had Carina as my wedding makeup artist! She went above and beyond, traveling to Albany for our trial and then all the way to Vermont for the wedding day. At the trial, she gave both my mom and me a chance to try our looks and made us feel totally at ease—even though we don’t wear much makeup day-to-day.

She welcomed questions and feedback afterward and made thoughtful adjustments that truly showed how much she cared about getting it just right. On the wedding day, she kept everything running smoothly, stayed ahead of schedule, and made every girl feel stunning. The makeup lasted flawlessly the entire night.

Carina is incredibly talented and equally lovely to be around—such a calming, positive presence to have on a big day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive artist.

The best!

I cannot say enough positive things about Carina!! From the first interaction I had with her, I knew she was going to be amazing. Not only is Carina incredibly talented, but her sweet demeanor and positivity make you feel so comfortable from the minute you sit in her chair. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride ever!! Not to mention, all of my bridesmaids were so incredibly impressed at how awesome of a job she did on each person. I will definitely be hiring Carina for all future major life events where I need to be glammed!

The Picasso of makeup artists!!!!!

Carina is an angel. She is sooo beyond talented and makes everyone look and feel their best. I don’t wear a lot of makeup on a day to day and really wanted to look like myself and a natural glam and she made all my dreams come true! She is so go with the flow, fun to be around and overall a great presence to have on your day. My dad was referring to her as “Picasso” all day because she made us all look stunning!!!! I wish I could hang with her and have her make me glam everyday!

Carina is epic at what she does!

My husband and I were recently married and had the pleasure of working with Carina Scott for all of my bridesmaids (7), mother, flower girls (3) and my makeup. Carina embodies good energy and it radiates into her work. She was very communicative and thorough in making sure all costs were broken down. She was incredibly flexible to ensuring everyone’s makeup was exactly how they wanted it. Some of my girls had a solid idea of what they wanted, others of us not. In both situations, Carina either crafted everyone’s face exact to the picture she was following or just making it beautiful autonomously. She was awesome with the little girls as well, which was incredibly helpful. Everyone’s makeup stayed fresh literally all night. Overall, I’d definitely suggest booking Carina for your wedding or other events!

Amazing Experience

Carina was AMAZING! We had our wedding at a summer camp, she traveled on site and did an incredible job doing all the bridesmaids, moms, and bride's makeups. Every girl looked and felt amazing all day long. She made me feel confident and the makeup looked great through the end of the night. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Both moms were a little nervous about having their makeup done and Carina made them look beautiful and took away all worries about the makeup feeling heavy or looking too extravagant, they both wore fake eyelashes too and loved the way they looked.

Everything I could've asked for!

Carina is absolutely amazing to work with! She did an amazing job with my wedding party and everyone looked so beautiful and was so happy with their makeup. Carina is very flexible and she was very accommodating when I changed my mind and decided I wanted a more natural makeup look. She is professional, so sweet, and all around a great presence to have on your wedding morning.
