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.

Are you interested?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

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 excellent job! My makeup looked radiant on my wedding day, and it lasted all night! She's also willing to adjust your makeup until it's exactly what you want. When I did my trial, I had, of course, a photo from Pinterest for inspiration. She did a wonderful job replicating the look, but after she was done, we both agreed that that particular look was not good for MY eye shape, so she played around with different looks until I was 100% satisfied. Then on the day of, she replicated that same look beautifully. Oh, and she's affordable! I highly recommend Karen. She does an excellent job without breaking the bank :)

If I could rate her higher I would. I hardly ever wear makeup and when I do it lasts about 2 hours due to my oily skin. I had an outside wedding in humid weather and it held up from 10 AM all the way to 10 PM with one touch-up with powered. It look natural and no caked on make-up look, which was my fear. Also, her personality won over my elderly mother who was resistant to wear make-up at all. I loved my make-up but I have to say my mother look natural, stunning and about 10 years younger. Cid Haley

Karen is the best and so fun to work with! I had my wedding trial this weekend for my engagement party and I loved it! I received so many compliments. Her airbrushing makes your skin look flawless and she matches your color to a T. She is the most reasonably priced make up artist in Huntsville. Can't wait for the big day!

Karen did an amazing job on my wedding makeup! The airbrush really makes a difference. My skin looked flawless! She also uses individual fake lashes, which felt more natural but still looked awesome. My eye makeup was on point as well. It lasted all day! I could not have been happier.

Karen did a wonderful job as make-up artist for my daughter's wedding. She arrived around 10:00 a.m. and worked with the bride, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the bride until about 3:30 p.m. Karen is very pleasant and she listened to each person as to what they liked and how they wanted to look. I received many compliments throughout the evening and the makeup looks great in the pictures!

Karen did an amazing job on both my mother and myself. It was my mom's wedding day but she did both of our makeup. She was very personable and fun to talk to, and our makeup looked amazing and flawless from the early morning until late into the night! I have had my makeup done several times and she's the best!

Karen is absolutely fabulous! I have really bad skin - acne, oily, etc. but she worked her magical airbrush skills to make my face look flawless for my brother's wedding! Did I mention the eyes? She is a pro at smokey eyes ...and also a pro at adding fake individual lashes! I could never do it myself. I highly recommend her for any special occasion! You will feel soooo pretty when she gets done with you!

Karen was wonderful! She was extremely easy to work with and was always quick to respond to messages and calls. On the wedding day, she did my makeup exactly like I wanted, and it stayed flawless all day, even in Alabama heat. Her rates are very reasonable, and she was a joy to have as a part of our big day!

Karen did the makeup for my sister's wedding this past weekend and she was amazing! SO nice and easy to work with. I got so many compliments on my make-up! She started on me at about 10:30 that morning and still looked great at 11 that night when we left! I will definitely use her again! Thanks Karen!

Karen Heller (ProAir Makeup) is a makeup wizard! She did a trial run for the bride's engagement photos which turned out beautifully. We had her do 7 people in our bridal party (bride, maids, moms) on the wedding day, and she did a BEAUTIFUL job on everyone. She listened to each one's concerns/ideas/thoughts, and everyone was so pleased - even our very picky members. No one looked too made up; just perfect. She even gave me tips for my regular day makeup when I asked. Because of our wedding day schedule, we had to start at makeup at 9:00AM, and it still looked flawless at 11PM that night! Lots and lots of compliments. Don't think this is an extravagance; it's well worth the money when you don't have to worry about it 13 hours later. She can do it in her studio or at your location, too! Highly recommend!
