    Absolute Rockstars

    This team ended up being the rockstars I needed for my wedding. Powers Beauty did the hair and make up for myself, my bridal party, the mothers of the couple and my flower grandma. Everyone looked absolutely stunning! And I felt like a dragon queen, straight out of a game of thrones episode (see pics). I didn’t have any specifics as far as hairstyles and make-up so the Powers team was able to adapt their style to everyone’s preferences. Their studio is also very accessible - my wedding venue and hotel were all within a five min walk of the studio which made it super convenient if you’re getting married in Monterey! Thanks again ladies, I appreciate you ❤️

    Say YES to Powers Beauty!

    Carina went above & beyond her hired services. I was that bride who couldn't make up my mind for the life of me on hair and makeup... but Carina just went with it so smoothly. I changed my mind not once, but TWICE on hair & makeup, and Carina made sure to get everything right, so that there would be no unfulfilled needs on wedding day for my look. For that, I'm incredibly grateful.

    Before our first trial, we had a phone call where I got to tell Carina my vision for my wedding day. And then I sent her photos of hair and makeup for inspiration. Pro tip: for all the women who don't normally wear makeup on the daily... do a lot of browsing and get familiar with what you're looking for before you show up for your trial!
    At Carina's studio, it was just the two of us, and Carina spent the time she needed to understand the exact look I was going for. Another pro tip: Ask questions if you need to! She's very accommodating in helping you understand things like, what the difference is between air brush vs. powder, etc. At the end of the trial, she took notes and pictures of me so that she could replicate that look on my wedding day.

    On wedding day, her team made my mom, best friend, and I feel so special and beautiful! They came to us fully prepared for any low lighting (like my get-ready spot at the venue!) and with a great attitude overall. And the cherry on top: I got a little emergency to-go kit filled with makeup and other travel sized touch up things.

    Would definitely recommend Carina and her team!

    Beautifully Done

    Carina does such a beautiful job. She listened to every detail of what I described my dream wedding make up to be. Even when I changed my mind and decided to go in a completely different direction. Carina was super patient with me and had no problem with a "re-trial." All of my bridesmaids looked amazing and my mother and mother in law looked so glamorous. So happy we went with Carina Powers Beauty.

    Amazing Makeup Artist that saved my last minute Engagement Shoot!

    I was lucky to come across Carina just a few days before my rescheduled engagement shoot! Long story short, my engagement was all planned and set for in San Francisco months before and I had previously found and booked another make up artist at the time until due to weather, my photographer has suggested to reschedule on the day of. So I was left having to find another makeup artist on the spot just a few days before the rescheduled shoot. I was in Monterey during the time of when my rescheduled shoot was going to take place so luckily my photographer was ok trekking all the way down there and I just had to worry about finding another make up artist that came close to my original. I was stressed for sure as I reached out to almost every make up artist in town that weekend as many have already been booked way ahead of time or couldn’t accommodate, Way out of my budget or simply just wasn’t close to what I was searching for which was a soft glam look!

    Sorry now this turned out to be a long review! Lo and behold despite Carina’s busy morning schedule, she agreed to meet with me and squeeze me in just in time for my shoot and really took her time to make sure I was happy and got the look I was hoping for.

    I loved the way she did my hair and how it came out, after showing her my inspo pictures and she did a soft glam makeup for me!

    Thank you sooo much!! I highly recommend her as she is truly a detailed and professional artist that is so sweet and cares!

    Blown away!

    Carina and team did our hair and makeup for my wedding day in August in Monterey and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She and her team made my bridesmaids, flower girl, and mom look flawless and I’ve never felt more beautiful than that day. We did a trial run ahead of the day which was so helpful since I wasn’t really sure how to describe the look I was going for and with a few tweaks, she completely nailed it. She gave me a touch up kit as well, although I barely needed it.

    She and team were also reasonably priced, flexible, and efficient in getting us all ready, not to mention had a fire playlist to set the mood!!

    Thank you so so much, Carina, for helping me put my best face forward on my wedding day!!! :D

    Perfection

    Carina Powers is the QUEEN of hair and makeup. From the beginning, she was responsive, kind, professional, and affordable. She was also supportive and flexible through my many Covid-19 changes in my wedding. She performed makeup and hair on both my mother and I on my wedding day, to which she showed up early, and immediately began to set up her station. Conversing with her eased my pre-wedding nerves with her fun personality. She uses high quality makeup, and my look lasted the whole day and night. My "delicate" looking hairstyle never budged and held onto my heavy cathedral veil in high winds on the beach. She delivered exactly what we asked for in a timely manner, and went above and beyond with her immense talent. My mother and I felt so beautiful!

    I cannot stress how amazing it was to work with Carina. She has so much experience and made me feel totally comfortable as someone who doesn’t wear makeup. I loved chatting with her during my test run and on the day of.

    Exactly what I wanted

    Carina did great! She saved us the time of having to run around the day of by coming to the house. She had an assistant with her and had 7 girls ready by 12pm. They got there on time quickly set up and were ready to work. Unfortunately I only have a picture of the hair trial but that looks good too. Would definitely hire her again.

    Carina is the absolute best!

    Not only did Carina do an amazing job at making my friends and I look flawless for our event, she also taught us some techniques that I continue to use every day, and left us with some great samples! Her professionalism and patience (even with my children running around) was impressive and much appreciated. We left feeling not only gorgeous but empowered and confident as well.

    Beach Wedding October 21st

    Carina Powers did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup for a beach wedding. Hair stayed in place and looked amazing throughout the entire night. And my makeup was so beautifully done, and also stayed on very well throughout the day and evening even when the wind picked up on the beach. I am very happy with the work she did for me on my wedding day. She was very kind, easy to work with, and made my family and I feel comfortable. I highly recommend her for any special event or just wanting to look beautiful for a day. Thank you Carina Powers !!
