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.

Recommend!

I hired Karen for my wedding after seeing how beautiful my friend looked at her wedding. She was lovely and fun to work with, and she really listens — she'll go as natural or as glam as you want. My final look was polished and photo-ready but I still looked like myself in the mirror. My mom, who wears minimal makeup, also looked so beautiful as did my mother in law. She offers a nice variety of packages with fair pricing!

Wedding Glam

I hired Karen and her amazing team for hair and makeup for our wedding in September!! It was a big crew of 13 including my bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law. Karen did a fabulous job on my makeup which was absolutely stunning and felt so natural!! All the girls loved their glam and I couldn’t have been happier. She also put the schedule together and it flowed perfectly, so no one was stressed for time even with the big crew. Karen always got back to me in a timely manner working with any changes to the package, which she offers quite a few selections that include trials and additional glam. She even helped me track down the hair team at the last minute, when my hairdresser wasn’t available. Everything ran very smoothly from the start. The team was very flexible to any of our requests. The communication was awesome and the entire planning process with Karen was super organized, which made it easy for me leading up to our wedding weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better glam team!. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for wedding glam and would book her again in a heartbeat for any future events!

Karen Attardo Wedding Makeup

I cannot recommend Karen Attardo Beauty enough!! After my sister was a bridesmaid for a wedding Karen did a few years ago, she told me Karen’s work was the best makeup she’s ever got done and that I had to book her for my own wedding. She was right!

From the initial trial to the big day, Karen was incredibly attentive and made sure I felt absolutely beautiful. She even went above and beyond during my trial to recommend a skincare routine that ensured my skin was perfectly hydrated and prepped for the wedding. On the morning of, she was a total pro—keeping things stress-free and bringing the best energy to the room. My bridesmaids, MOB, and MOG all raved about Karen and her team. If you want a seamless experience and a flawless look, book her!

Karen Absolutely Made My Day

I recently hired Karen for my wedding. She did myself and 5 additional girls, including my mother and mother in law. Karen was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. I was unable to schedule a trial due to my personal scheduling conflicts, but I provided Karen with my inspiration and she made sure to ask as many questions as possible to achieve my vision. On the day of Karen arrived right on time and had all of the essential tools that she needed to successfully work. Karen’s work was absolutely amazing. All of the girls loved their makeup and I could not be happier with mine as well. Karen was an absolute joy to have on the day of the wedding and she ran things seamlessly. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was simply amazing. Never knew that I could feel that beautiful! Thank you! Thank you!

A makeup artist that truly makes you feel your absolute best

Karen didn’t just do my makeup — she truly elevated my entire wedding experience. She understood exactly what I wanted, refined every detail with intention, and made sure the final look felt authentically ‘me.’ (& you get to use one of the prettiest mirrors ever for the reveal!) The makeup held up beautifully through happy tears, photos, and an entire night of celebrating. Beyond her skill, she creates an atmosphere where you feel grounded and genuinely cared for. I’m so grateful to have had her as part of my day and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for someone who truly cares about both the craft and the person in her chair.

The best mua out there

I absolutely loved working with Karen for my wedding makeup. I originally had a trial where I realized I wanted a bit more coverage and fuller lashes, and she listened so thoughtfully and delivered exactly what I envisioned on the day of. The soft glam look she created felt elevated and special, but still like me in the best way.

Karen was warm, fun to talk to, and just had this calming energy that made the morning feel easy and enjoyable. She was so attentive to detail and checked in with me throughout to make sure everything felt right. By the time I walked down the aisle, I felt confident, beautiful, and completely myself.

I would recommend Karen in a heartbeat to any bride. She truly knows how to listen, adjust, and bring a vision to life. So grateful I had her as part of my day!

Book for effortless looking glam!

I couldn't be happier that I booked Karen and her team to do my wedding makeup! Her bubbly demeanor immediately put my mom and me at ease during our makeup trial and she also has the skills to create effortless glam looks! I wanted to look like an elevated version of myself, but still myself, and Karen absolutely delivered. My mom also was very nervous about getting her makeup done, and Karen could not have been better at listening to her and creating a looks she felt comfortable in as well.

Perfect Bridal Glam

Karen did an incredible job with my make up I would book her again in a heartbeat. I had very high expectations as someone who loves make up myself. I also wanted a very glamorous look. Karen nailed it. My bridesmaids and mom wanted more of a natural look, she nailed that too. She was so professional she actually got an injury right before my wedding and still did not let me down for one moment. She still showed up, still did my make up perfect. During my make up trial I gave her feedback and some subtle changes (which I was nervous to do), she was so comfortable with this and SO supportive of the make up look I wanted. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.
