    Gorgeous work and wonderful person!

    Karen did an absolutely beautiful job with both my ceremony and reception makeup and hair. I prefer understated makeup, and she perfectly succeeded in giving me looks that were subtle but still special and bridal. I particularly loved the updo she did for my ceremony. She's also a lovely person, and was a joy to chat with on the day of! Thank you, Karen!

    Amazing makeup and hair artist and even more amazing person!

    Karen is an incredible makeup and hair artist!

    I researched quite a bit when it came to finding a makeup and hair artist that would work for me. I was looking for someone who would be able to make me look like my best self on my wedding day. I did not want to have an overdone bridal South Asian look on my wedding day and I was trying to stick to a reasonable budget. I reached out to many makeup artists and many of them came out with ridiculous price ranges and crazy demands on when they could fit me in for a trial.

    I finally found exotic looks by Karen and when we first spoke I could immediately was kind, responsible and easy going. She was able to come to my apartment for a trial and executed exactly what I was looking for in my bridal look. I hired her the next day for myself and 12 bridesmaids / family members.

    On the big day, she was punctual and professional. The final look on the day-of was even better than what I expected and looked amazing! My husband told me I looked like a movie star :)

    Karen also took care of my mom and mother-in-law who were really happy with their looks. With a multi-cultural wedding, all of the makeup looks came out flawless.

    I would highly recommend Karen for your bridal look!

    Karen was the very best!!! Her and her team are extremely professional, on top of being kind-hearted and sweet. Although I had just met Karen once for my trial, it seemed like I had known her a long time. She was a friendly & familiar face during the morning of the wedding. I could not have been happier with the makeup for my ceremony & reception. I had nothing to worry about with Karen and her team by my side. Highly recommend!!!

    All I have to say is wow! I was blown away with Karen's make up for my wedding she made me look so beautiful! My experience with Karen and her team was exceptional they are so dedicated at what they do and it shows! Karen was so professional and so is her team when you book Karen for any occasion she will deliver! I was in desperate need of a henna person and wow my friends and I were so blown away with her work exceptional job! Karen's make up products are what you want to use for a wedding or any occasion cause the day I got married was so hot and I was sweating but when I looked in the mirror my make up was still flawless nothing came off if anything it looks like she touched it up. That is how good her products are and omg her lipstick didn't not come off I had to scrub it off at the end of the night so I was very happy and pleased with the outcome of my makeup and hair she is a true professional! Karen and her team ROCK please book her and you will see what I'm talking about and the best thing is that she sells her awesome flawless make up online go on her Facebook exotic looks by Karen llc By the way when you book her she can pretty much hook you up with everything to facials, body sculpting! I'm so happy I went with her!

    Karen was great and extremely professional. She started on time and stayed with me even after the designated time frame. I loved my look and my makeup. Karen delivered and met my expectations perfectly by giving me the look I wanted for my big day! I told Karen that I have oily skin and that's something we have to keep in mind since it will be a long day. My makeup stated intact and my skin didn't become oily like it normally does. That made me very happy!! I totally recommend Karen for all bridal services.

    When I went to Karen for a trial I was a bit nervous because all my previous trials with OTHERS were disastrous. But with Karen as soon as started talking to her, I knew I had found the person who would make me look amazing on my engagement. The thing I loved the most was that we were both on the same before I even explained the type of look I want. All I did was show Karen my dress and she was able to replicate what was in my mind. I LOVED LOVED LOVED my hair and makeup on the day of engagement. Karen made sure I was ready on time and made sure I stayed relaxed. I am not the type of person who likes makeup but throughout the night i was super comfortable. Karen also did my mom's hair and makeup. My mom loved her look. She made her look very elegant.
    Karen thank you so much for making me look amazing. You are the best!!!
    I would highly recommend her for all your occasions.

    I booked my wedding makeup and hair with excotic looks by Karen and was very happy with the results. Karen was there during my trial and was very attentive to my make up needs and available to answer any questions. Maya did my makeup and hair on my wedding day and she was amazing. I highly recommend this company for make up and hair services!!

    Karen & her assistant are such a delight. Thank you for an amazing job. They made me feel confident wearing makeup something I just never done. The attention to detail and caring ways are outstanding. They attended to my daughter with such professionalism and genuine sincerity. Being that it was a Sweet Sixteen not a wedding, they made sure her make up was Suttle yet stunning for a young lady.

    I recommend Karen to any bride to be or for any special occasion.

    Sincerely,
    Ivelisse Carrion

    Karen and her team are absolutely committed to ensuring that their brides are happy, calm, and relaxed on their wedding day. My beauty team updated me on their journey as they made their way to my home on my wedding day, and they were there even before I was ready. My make-up artist came prepared with calming music to do my eye make-up because she knew from my trial that my eyes tear. And like most brides, I was experiencing jitters at the thought of being married, but my make-up artist soothed me with encouraging words and offered me life-long wisdom about staying happy with my husband and our families.

    Being a face that's always in front of the camera I need a makeup artist who can give me a flawless and beautiful look. Finding Karen was definitely a blessing because she knows EXACTLY how to bring out my best features and never fails to make me look beautiful. What I love the most is how she listens and understands exactly what her clients want. From all the makeup artists I have seen, she is hands down the best! I only go to her :)

    Karen was my make-up artist for Jewel of India's IFAB (Indian Fashion, Art, & Beauty) Fashion Show launch at the Indian Consulate in NYC (the 1st event of its kind at the exclusive venue). She is so kind & talented, and truly cares about her client's needs and concerns. These skills are what I seek most in a professional.

    In addition, I was honored thrilled to win the Miss IFAB Model of the Year award that evening, and know for sure that Karen's make-up skills played a great part in making that happen!

    I look forward to working with Karen Kaur in the future.

    this is my first time leaving anyone a 5 star review and there s a good reason for that. I just recently got married. I am very picky about my make up since I mostly do my own makeup and hair. I tried a number of well known artists in NY and NJ but no one could really get the look I wanted until I met Karen. I had heard about Exotic looks by Karen from a friend of mine and decided to give her a shot. We met at her studio in long island. She was very professional and friendly from the beginning. I explained the looks I wanted for my reception and wedding once and that s all it took for her to nail it. I must say this girl knows what she s doing. I had a big party and was very nervous as to how many different artists I ll have to sign but Karen has a team of professional and up to date with latest fashion girls who took care of all my 15 bridesmaids while Karen devoted her full intention to me and truly made me feel like a princess. My mom is her new biggest fan lol. I definitely recommend her to all my friends and anyone who is looking for a professional high end make up artist. she s is simply the best.

    She was very generous and was flexible with her times to meet up with me. She made sure to fit to our needs and it went very well. The makeup was over the top, gorgeous and well worth for how much I payed. It is definitely worth it and I would recommend it to everyone.
