    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Carissa! She made me feel the most beautiful I’ve ever felt on my wedding day. From our first conversation, she was so professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about her work.

    After my makeup trial, I was speechless. Looking in the mirror, I felt like I had an Instagram filter on in real life—it was that flawless! On the wedding day, she absolutely nailed it again. My makeup photographed beautifully and lasted through July humidity, summer storms, and a full night of dancing.

    Beyond her incredible skill, Carissa is such a fun, positive, and calming presence to have in the bridal suite. She brings the best energy and truly goes above and beyond for her brides. This girl comes prepared—not only did she provide thoughtful touch-up kits for me and my bridesmaids, but she also packed essentials like straws, safety pins, and all the little “just in case” items every bride should have. How thoughtful is that?!

    Carissa is hands down one of the best in the business. If you want her to do your wedding makeup, she needs to be one of the very first vendors you book—right after your venue! I’m endlessly grateful for her talent and care.

    Absolutely amazing!

    Carissa was such a sweet person to work with. She makes you so comfortable and continued to make sure we felt so good and confident. I would recommend her 10/10. She can make someone who doesn’t wear makeup feel so pretty naturally but also is amazing at full glam and all out makeup. She is truly the best out there!

    Excellent!

    I hired Carissa (Glam Guru) to do makeup for my wedding. She did my makeup as well as the makeup of 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and my grandma. Everyone loved their makeup and looked absolutely beautiful! She listened to everyone’s personal preferences and executed perfectly! Carissa was timely, organized, and SO knowledgeable. She is easy to talk to, and she helped decrease nerves on the big day. I would recommend Glam Guru to anyone!

    The best MUA around

    Carissa did an amazing job with me and my girls. We had so much fun and no worries having her there to do our makeup. She was extremely accommodating and all of my bridesmaids and I absolutely loved our final looks.

    Made my day spectacular!

    Carissa is such an amazing makeup artist and really knows how to make a girl feel special. Not only did I look amazing but my makeup LASTED. I’m a greasy girl that likes to pop, lock, and drop it on the dance floor and my makeup didn’t budge. Would definitely recommend!

    Fun and professional

    Carissa was great! She was fun and fit right in with our group, everyone enjoyed having her there. She was professional and listened to what everyone wanted. Everyone had the best things to say and was very happy with their makeup. She answered all questions and communications quickly and arrived on time. I’d recommend her 100%.
