A Must Have for Wedding Day!

Karen is a true artist! She did amazing work for my bridesmaids and I. She truly cares about what you want done and will help you accomplish the look you have been dreaming of. She is flexible, fun to work with, personable, and reasonably priced. I only have good things to say and would recommend her to anyone!

Amazing talent and skill!

Karen was fantastic from the word go. After our first correspondence, there was something about her that felt right. I live in Atlanta and planning our wedding from afar, so I truly appreciated her fitting me into her schedule, and being patient as we worked through makeup options (I had no clue what I wanted). Karen is very skilled and has a talent for bringing out your best features. She was always professional, personable, and was great onsite. I'm a marketing professional and am used to hiring makeup artists for video and photo shoots but not used to being the one in the chair. I couldn't have been in more competent hands. Karen listened to what I wanted for myself and for my flower girls. She took that vision and turned it into perfection! Can't wait to add professional photos and am including one taken from a phone here.

Summer Wedding Make-up

Karen did the make up for my son‘s wedding and did a wonderful job. Personally, she worked her magic with me & my mother , who is 81 , and it was absolutely beautiful and not overdone.

Great experience!

Karen did make up for my sister (the bride), our mother and myself. The experience was great. Karen is very professional and friendly at the same time. Wedding day can be stressful but we were all relaxed with her, her personality will just put you at ease. Her experience and talent putting colors together made us all look and feel beautiful. Her air brushing technique made us appear to have flawless skin. We would definitely use her services again.

Great experience;

I don't know how to do good makeup so I hired Karen to do the makeup for my engagement photos. She was wonderful; she coordinated the makeup and lip color to go with my outfit and even gave me a little jar with some touch up lip color and gloss. I have gotten so many compliments on the photos and several people have commented on how good the makeup looks! I'm really happy.

Amazing and affordable!!

Karen did my makeup, three of my bridesmaids, my mother in law, and my mom!! She did an incredible job! She was personable but professional and we had a great time with her! Our makeup was beautiful! She made us look natural without looking cakey. If you know anything about makeup, you never want it to look caked on! Anyway, definitely recommend and she is very affordable compared to others artists I researched!

The BEST makeup experience!

Karen did amazing with my wedding makeup. We met for a trial run a week before my wedding to make sure the makeup and lashes felt good and looked great, so she knew exactly what I wanted on the day of. Thank goodness we had a trial run, because my hair appointment ended up running long and we had to do makeup quickly! She did a flawless job on me and it was the most relaxing part of my day. The makeup lasted through 100 degree humid Alabama weather heat and sweat and tears. It was amazing, everyone commented on how great it looked throughout the evening as well. She even got my flower girl all dolled up for free. She is the best! I highly recommend her if you want to look and feel your best on your special day.

She's fun and knows her stuff!

Getting your makeup done by Karen is a fun way to start your wedding day! My makeup lasted all day and I got so many compliments! She also tells you personalized tips for your everyday makeup while doing yours, which is really great for someone like me who always wants to get better doing makeup!

A great experience!

Karen was amazing! She did the make-up for my wedding in November - bride and bridesmaids. Not only did she patiently do practice sessions, her work at the wedding was perfect; several months later I am still getting compliments. I highly recommend her.
