Karen: a dream wedding MUA - professional, talented, and caring.

Karen's professionalism and expert experience was immediately apparent when we met for my bridal makeup trial. She created a gorgeous look, combining inspo pics that I had for reference with techniques and colors that she knew would work best for my skin type, coloring, etc... She made it a no-brainer to book her as my MUA for my wedding. From the day of my trial to my actual wedding day (which were nearly a year apart), Karen was very responsive and always easy to contact. Answering any of my questions, listening to any adjustments I wanted to make from my trial look, and creating a clear and thoughtful wedding day glam timeline well in advance, she was by far the easiest vendor to deal with!

But on to (most importantly) the big day... My wedding day makeup was better than I could have ever imagined. I am not exaggerating when I say everything about it was perfection. Not only did I look and feel like an absolute queen, but Karen definitely passed the vibe check as well. Her glam timeline was on point, which alleviated a lot of potential stress, and getting my makeup done was so fun and relaxing with her. She made it very easy to trust her while she was doing her thing and I truly got to enjoy getting ready with my friends and family because of that. She also did an amazing job on my bridal party. From my 15 year old niece who was a jr. bridesmaid to my mom who is 65, everyone looked (and felt!) amazing.

I could never thank Karen enough for making me look and feel the best I ever have on my very special day.

Incredible

I had the absolute pleasure of having Karen as my makeup artist for my September 2024 wedding, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. I was extremely happy with my look. The first thing I said to Karen was that I wanted to look beautiful but still like myself. That sentiment defines Karen's work perfectly. Her attention to detail and skill are truly impressive. Not only is Karen great at her job, but she is also someone you want by your side. Two days before my wedding I had a spray tan nightmare. I texted Karen for help and her connections had me at ease and scheduled for a new tan in no time. If you're looking for a talented and professional makeup artist for your big day, I highly recommend Karen. Thank you for your part in making my wedding day perfect!
