    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;

    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.

    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.

    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 perfect choice for flawless bridal makeup!

    Karen was so wonderful on my wedding day! She was easy to communicate with, came right to my house, and gave me, my sisters, and mother exactly what we wanted for gorgeous wedding makeup. It lasted all night and I got so many compliments. Karen was so friendly and a pleasure to work with!

    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.

    Karen is awesome - perfect makeup

    I was in a wedding in November and Karen did the makeup for the bridal party. We did a practice session a few days before the wedding and she accommodated our wedding day schedule. Karen took into account our individual styles, what we were wearing, and our hair. She used quality products and the makeup felt great - and we looked good. The photos came out perfect too.

    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.

    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!

    She was great! Gets back quickly, and listens to what you want. Works with you to create a look you’re 100% satisfied with. Love the airbrushed look and it lasts! She takes her time with you too!

    Awesome Make up

    Karen did an amazing job on my make up I could not be more happier! She did it for our engagement pictures and on our wedding day. I love how light the airbrush makeup feels! She also does awesome with lashes. She used individual lashes so she can fan them out more and give you a more dramatic look. ON my wedding day we kept having a mishap with one of my lashes and she made sure it looked perfect before she left and I went for our first look. She is so sweet and funny, I would recommend her for sure!

    Perfect makeup!

    Karen did my makeup for a set of headshots and she did a wonderful job! It was even better than I'd expected. She gave me exactly what I wanted in under an hour and was really friendly too.
    I'd recommend her 100%!

    karen was able to schedule us after a hair appointment and before my daughters Senior portrait. She worked on giving us a light and natural look with a bit of glamor as her subject does not enjoy makeup. We were well pleased and the portrait looked lovely. Karen is easy to talk to and will take your preference to heart. She is skilled and pleasant in the most professional way.

    Y'all. This woman made me feel like CINDERELLA on my wedding day. Never have I looked more beautiful or felt more confident. She is so fun and relaxed. My makeup stayed on all day long, even with the 90 degree heat. She did my makeup, all my sisters, my mom's and grandmother's. We all felt like princesses. I can't thank her enough, and you will not regret hiring her for your event! P.S. all of my bridesmaids have said she will definitely be their MUA when they get married. I feel so lucky to have found her

    Karen did an incredible job with my makeup and everyone in my wedding party! I have very fair skin that is difficult to color match. Karen was willing to meet with me for a second makeup trial to make sure that the color was exactly right! The morning of my wedding, Karen was on time and prepared. While being very thorough with each person, she worked quickly and completed all five people's makeup with plenty of time to keep us on schedule. I really appreciated her calm demeanor and how she helped to create a relaxed atmosphere for everyone while staying time-conscious. On top of being extremely accommodating and professional, her work is beautiful and worth every scent. Everyone's makeup stayed completely intact throughout the entire day (12+ hours), which is very impressive considering how much we (mostly I) cried that day. I'm so glad that I chose Karen to do my makeup for my wedding!
