I cannot recommend Caro enough!! I wanted to treat my bridesmaids by paying for their hair and makeup the morning of my wedding, and Caro did a wonderful job. She works with high quality hair stylists and did a great job with everyone's makeup. Everything ran on time, and everyone loved how they looked! Pricing was very transparent and very fair as well. Highly recommend!!
Caro and her team were amazing! It was very important to me that my makeup for my wedding was not "cakey" and that I would still look like myself. She did just that and so much more! She is the ultimate hype girl and such a fun person to be around. All my bridesmaids loved how they looked as well.
She gave every girl a small touch up kit to use throughout the night, but everyone's makeup stayed so well. Book her if you haven't already!!
Caro was AMAZING!! She set up in the kitchen and had lights and did a PHENOMENAL job on attendants, mothers, and especially the bride. The bride looked ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Caro and her staff were extremely friendly and easy to work with. The best thing is all of our makeup held all night long, especially for the bride whom had the camera on her. She provided nice touch up kits for everyone as well. Highly recommend! My daughter, whom was the bride and I went to the “consultation” and it was SO worth it, she was able to get a great feel for what my daughter wanted and didn’t want and was able to reproduce it on wedding day!
Any questions?
Absolutely incredible. Highly recommend Caro and her team. They are passionate about what they do and are dedicated to ensuring their customers are happy with the final product. Caro was sweet enough to follow my girls and I to the venue because she wanted to see me in my wedding dress! I would enthusiastically recommend Caro and Kristin (hair) to everyone!
If you want to feel beautiful and confident on your wedding day, book with Caro. After a disastrous first trial with a different salon, Caro worked with me on very short notice to make sure I was taken care of. Marie (makeup) and Kristen (hair) made me feel so comfortable and in control of my final look for my wedding, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I felt so supported throughout the trial and day-of, they really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Absolutely recommend!
Stop reading reviews and book Caro now! As a perfectionist I could not recommend her more. Not only are her technical skills 100%, but she is also the sweetest, funniest and most accommodating professional I've met. I will always book her for any makeup needs in the future.
I have rosacea. Covered.
I cried tears of joy. Still looked beautiful.
I've received compliment after compliment.
Thank you for being an incredible part of my perfect day Caro!!
Oh my goodness- Carolina is unbelievably talented!!! Carolina is kind, responsive, talented, and professional. She did a fantastic job with my makeup for my wedding and my rehearsal dinner and I can’t believe how good it turned out ! She did an incredible job with my whole party and I’m so happy we chose her to work with!!
I had a great experience here! Caro is highly creative and a very talented makeup artist. Beyond that, she is sweet, fun and thoughtful.
I also got my hair done with Maddie (@hairbymaddie) and she did an amazing job executing what I had envisioned.
Those two succeeded in making me feel like a queen for my wedding reception. Look no further, I highly recommend!! I’d love to come back for a self-makeup class and try some of the spa services that they offer.
Caro Benitez and her team are amazing! They helped me and my party to get ready for my wedding. She is very professional, easy going (she gives you the confidence for asking and requesting whatever you feel like) and she is a great listener. She was also very sweet and kind, let us use her space for getting ready, and prepared a table with snacks, coffee and mimosas for me and my family to feel comfortable and loved from the beginning of the day. The results were beautiful, I felt like a princess during the whole day because my makeup stayed flawless until the end of the night. She only uses very good quality products and brands which is also great if you have sensitive skin as I do. I would recommend having a trial before as well, it was an amazing experience that allowed us to plan and see different options for my hair and makeup before the big day.
Muchas gracias Caro!
If you are looking for someone who will make you look and feel absolutely beautiful then Caro's Makeup Studio is where you MUST go! This place has it all and is your one stop shop. My husband and I recieved facials from Allie Jasminski and Marie which left our skin fresh and glowy for our big day. Allie did an amazing job on all of my bridal party's makeup and made sure that it was exactly what they wanted. She was so kind and sweet; her bright and bubbly personality was the perfect way to start our day.
I truly do not have enough good things to say about my experience with Caro and her team for our wedding day. I had an awful experience with the first company I booked for my hair and makeup and ended up canceling and re-booking with Caro after seeing some wonderful reviews. Well all of the reviews could not have been more accurate! She is an absolutely incredible makeup artist and the sweetest, most genuine person. She also helped me get connected with an amazing hair stylist that works with her, Maddie, who I also booked for the wedding. From the moment I booked my trial, all the way until the wedding day, she was communicative, professional, and made me feel like the most special, beautiful bride! Other bridal party members who got their makeup done by her were also so impressed and satisfied with their results. Caro and her team made our morning getting ready so fun, comfortable, and relaxed. I cannot recommend her enough!
Caro and her team were absolutely amazing!! From my bridal trial until the day of our wedding she made sure everything was taken care of and I truly felt pampered. My make up was so perfect, glam but natural. It wasn’t super heavy, which is what I prefer, and all of bridesmaids loved their make up as well as. They took everyone’s preferences into consideration while still making sure everyone’s look was similar enough for great photos. Caro had enough assistants to get everyone done before schedule and it was so stress free! She has such a good attitude and her team made everyone relaxed. Caro has great communication and responds quickly. She is so caring and thoughtful and went above and beyond what I ever expected. Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her!
Caro is the absolute best. I loved my make up and she listens to what you want. She has a light about her and brings joy. That’s the team you want around you on your day. Highly recommend.
Caro and her team were so great to work with! Super friendly and amazing work. Would definitely recommend.
Caro and her beautiful team are the absolute BEST! Look no further for your make up and hair stylists!!
I contacted Caro (via instagram) as an out of state bridesmaid from NY. I was so lucky that Caro happened to have availability on the day of the wedding. As soon as we entered her beautiful and clean studio we were greeted with smiles and mimosas!
Maddie, our hairstylist, listened to what we had in mind and truly heightened it to the next level. My soft waves lasted until the next day! (which is crazy for my straight hair). Ali beautifully prepped our faces by using the exact color match foundation. Brides, this is not your typical “cakey” wedding makeup…it looked like a much better version of our skin. Caro uses only the best products (think Dior, Chanel, Tom Ford).
Caro was the icing on the cake! She completed our looks with gorgeous eye shadows, beautiful contour, perfectly placed lashes and a kiss of lipstick (we were even given a little gift of lipstick for touch ups!) True perfection!
Not only did Caro and her team do an amazing job with our makeup and hair, but the level of service was top notch. Caro was able to do my moms makeup as an urgent SOS rescue. My mom, mother of the groom, had an allergic reaction to the makeup the rest of the bridal party used and had the wipe off her whole face about an hour before the wedding!! After a quick call to Caro we whisked my
Mom to the studio where Caro and her team worked together to help make my mom look absolutely stunning!!
I have had my makeup done countless of times - this was by far the best experience (and the most beautiful!) I can’t recommend Caro and her team enough. I plan on booking a trip back to Kansas for a spa day with my mom right after I buy all of the products the team used and recommended.
I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you thank you thank you Caro, Maddie and Ali for everything! xo
Caro is truly incredible at what she does. She's one of the few makeup artists in the area that actually gives you that healthy, glowy, natural makeup look as opposed to the cakey, matted-down, old-person look that I feel most other makeup artists do. And on top of that, she is a lot of fun to work with and will truly brighten your day with her positive energy. Book a trial with her if you're considering her! She doesn't disappoint : )
My daughter was looking for an artist that could do great makeup on women of all colors as this is what her wedding party consisted of. I found Caro & set up a trial makeup session. Caro greeted us with a beautiful smile & glasses of champagne. She made us both feel so special. She has a great bubbly, sweet personality & is genuinely excited for you. Caro really listens to what your vision & style is for your makeup & makes great suggestions. My daughter is Latina & has a hard time finding someone that can pinpoint the right color of foundation for her skin. Not Caro, she picked the right color on the very first try which is impressive. We both loved her work & immediately booked her talents for the wedding day. Caro took pictures of the work she had done to ensure she would have the same colors to recreate the look. On the day of the wedding Caro's team was on time, very organized & professional. She took the time to enhance each persons features, makes sure you're happy with the results & sends you with a sample of the lip color used for touch ups later. Everyone looked gorgeous, especially my daughter! :) If your looking for an AMAZING makeup artist book Caro.
Very responsive and took care of every detail. Me and all the bridesmaids really enjoyed having our make up done Caro and her staff.
Super flexible and able to handle and complete any style of make up.
Even provided touch up bags for later, super thoughtful and have already recommended her
Caro and her team were great to work with! She was very communicative and responsive during the planning process. And, on the day of the wedding, Caro and her team were super sweet and pleasant to be around. They made everyone feel special.
And most importantly, our makeup looked great! ;) She really helped me capture the makeup style I wanted, which was natural and not too "done up." I cried a lot of happy tears on my wedding day, but my makeup stayed put!
I would definitely recommend Caro again and again!
Caro was an absolute delight to work with! She is one of the kindest, most upbeat people I’ve met. She was always so complimentary and spent time to make sure we found just the right style. Caro and her team made all of us - bride, bridesmaids and both mothers, feel beautiful for the wedding. Thank you so much!
From my first make up trial to the day of my wedding, Caro made me feel like the most special person on the planet. Not only did she do an incredible job, she was also extremely open and flexible and helped me find my best look. Caro went so far as to meet with me the week of my wedding to make sure my foundation color still matched perfectly. The professionalism was above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I cannot recommend her enough.
Caro and her team were true professionals. I had a trial and then booked them for my wedding. We had 9 people wanting to get their hair and makeup done. Not only was Caro and her team on time, they were able to get everyone done ahead of schedule. Everyone looked so great. I highly recommend them!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Caro and her team left me and my bridesmaids speechless. Caro is truly one of kind. She makes you feel welcome, beautiful, and just so special. She left me speechless, from contacting, booking a trial and my big day she was exceptional! Do not miss out on her!!! I promise you will not regret the experience!
Caro and her team were wonderful to work with! Very professional and everyone looked beautiful! She brought all the things we needed and was very accommodating to us. Highly recommend!
Best eye shadow I’ve ever had. I usually steer clear from bright colors on wedding day, BUT IT WAS AMAZING. Extremely friendly and they definitely know what they’re doing! Also very quick. I would definitely book them in the future!
I struggled finding a beauty artist vendor for my wedding, and luckily, The Knot helped me discover sweet Caro and her awesome team! I had a big group getting hair and makeup done for my wedding, so it was very important to have a great vendor.
First, Caro and her team did makeup. Caro is so bubbly, encouraging, kind, and talented! Caro and her team did a fabulous job creating detailed looks for my bridesmaids, the mothers, and a grandma, enhancing their natural beauty! Each gal felt so special after having their makeup done! My bridal makeup turned out natural and glowing, and lasted all night!
Second, Roxana and her assistant, Chloe, did our hairstyles. Both ladies were very fun and sweet. They created lovely hairstyles for my bridesmaids, the mothers, and a grandma. Hairstyles turned out just like the Pinterest ideas my girls provided! They were very happy and looked gorgeous! My bridal hairstyle (pinned back, set curls) looked stunning, and lasted all night!
I am so thankful to have found Caro and her team! I highly recommend them! <3
The best makeup artist, Caro and all her team are really professional and understand what each of us want and like.
Love her work, Caludina is so patient and talented. She made my brides maid and mither in low an dmyself look stunning and gorgouse. I highly recomend her . She even accomodate the date change of our wedding with no question asked for new time line . She is such a sweet lady and her work is remarkable .
Caro is amazing! After I had a makeup test go wrong from another person, I was hesitant to try again. Caro immediately put me at ease with her wonderful personality and professionalism. She asked questions to uncover the look I really wanted and executed it splendidly. On my big day, she and her assistant were already at the venue - even before us and ready to start! They worked on my four bridesmaids, my mother, and me. They used prestige products and it didn’t feel heavy. Everyone was happy with their makeup and they all looked gorgeous! Caro was also able to fix my peeling nose (from a recent facial) and make my wonky eyebrows look decent. She and her assistant finished all of us in just a few hours or less, so we weren’t rushing or stressing about time. Would highly recommend!
Caro was very professional from the first appointment, she heard carefully, understood my style, and was able to achieve the make up that I was dreaming with!
She is gracious, organized and punctual.
If you are searching for the best make up artist for your special day, look no further!
It was a beautiful and lasting makeup and such a great experience at the studio. She’s great at making feel everyone welcome and comfortable all the time, loved her makeup quality and professionalism.She made me feel the most beautiful bride. I would go to her for any other event. Thank You Caro for being such a nice and beautiful person
Caro was truly the best makeup artist I have ever worked with and I have worked with a few and from now on I will only use her! Caro was professional, nice, flexible, on time and reassuring to me for my wedding day. Caro also has a truly sweet personality you can’t help but love!
You want this woman to do your makeup!!! Caro really is the best of the best. She is so kind, and unbelievably good. Check out her instagram and see for yourself - you can tell right away that she is in a class of her own!
Caro was the makeup artist for my wedding day for myself, mother in law, mother, and 6 bridesmaids nd she did beautiful work. I went to her studio for a trial a few weeks before and she followed up after to see what I liked or didn't like about the trial. Her team was cheery & ready to apply makeup to up before 7 am on my wedding day. She is very talented, easy to book with, relaxed, and well-prepared. Thanks Caro!
Absolute perfection! All of my bridesmaids looked stunning! We all have very different skin tones and each of us looked amazing all night long! Our makeup lasted through all of the tears and laughter!
Caro is fantastic. Beautiful studio and atmosphere. My daughter and I had a wonderful time during our appointments. Caro did a great job with our makeup.
Carolina is a hidden gem. The moment I heard her voice over the phone I knew she was going to be my go to person for makeup and hair. Carolina is kind, caring, organized, calming and beyond talented. Her makeup is lightweight and effortless. Her products were high end and throughout the day I never felt like my makeup was fading. She even included a little sample of my lipstick for touch ups. She truly has every detail thought out for you. My bridesmaids looked gorgeous. She and her team accentuated everyone's best features so we all had that special something about us.
Claudia is such a beautiful person, inside and out. It only makes sense that she and Carolina would partner together. Their talents and eye for detail compliment each other. Together, they bring a light hearted energy into a room. I loved my hair. I was very fussy but Claudia was patient and worked with me. Again, all my bridesmaids looked gorgeous! My mom was able to talk through what she was looking for and Claudia and her team listened and made her thoughts reality.
After I put my dress on both Claudia and Carolina were there to do my final touch ups. I cannot say enough about this duo. I highly recommend them for any event.

Caro is AMAZING! She made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day! My makeup was flawless and lasted all night long. She was also great with my bridal party and my Mom. They were all raving about her! She really loves what she does and it shows! I would recommend her to anyone!
Caro was absolutely amazing! She was always punctual and ready to go. She completed bride, bridesmaid and mother of groom makeup in perfect time and stayed to make sure I was ready to go for the wedding after our first look. She is not your average makeup artist either. I am quite particular about who does my makeup. She is the most talented makeup artist I have ever encountered. I could tell by her photos that she had great talent and she sure brought that talent to the table on my wedding day. Just absolutely perfect! Thank you Caro!
I am a darker skinned Indian bride who was concerned about makeup artists knowing how to work with my skin tone and texture since it seemed that most makeup artists had more experience with lighter skin tones. Caro was amazing from the trial to my wedding. I wanted a natural makeup look for my wedding since I do not usually wear makeup on a regular basis. Caro was able to replicate the exact look I wanted with minimal makeup. She was also able to create the looks that my 12 bridesmaids wanted. She was amazing to work with and so kind and patient. I would highly recommend her to any bride!
Carolina and Claudia are wonderful! Caro does wonderful makeup that looks natural and also very glamorous. Claudia's hair styles are beautiful and also durable! They are both so much fun and felt like friends by the end of the wedding day. I would book them again in a heartbeat.
The best makeup for my special day! I really loved Caro and her work!
Definitely having Caro do my makeup as well as my mother’s, sisters and friends, was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! I wanted a natural looking makeup and she completely got me, as well as the different looks all the others were looking for. We were ready before time do we were able to take some lovely pictures. She’s not only a GREAT artist, she’s the sweetest person to be with on that special day!
Honestly she is the best of the best as a makeup artist, I would compare her to Bobbi Brown cause she can achieve flawless smooth natural looks although she can also make over the top looks with no trouble. For my wedding I didn't even make the before test cause I didn't had time, instead I just showed her a picture and she did a perfect job she is a genius, an international makeup artist with makeup studios in south and north america. She is also a Delightful, calm and patient presence that anyone would love to have on their wedding day.
Carolina is a professional and will make you look your very best on your wedding day! She did my wedding day make up and my wedding party AND others. She did a fantastic job on everyone and made sure they all felt great. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a make up artist, specially for your wedding day!!!
Caro´s makeup was the best choice for my wedding day. She did a great job, just as we had arranged on my trial. Her recomendation was to wear a soft natural look, since I got married at 4pm on summer. I would also add that her personality is the best for such an important date, because you might get very nervous on your big day! But she is so bright and joyful, that she transmits it to you with her big warm smile. I would also give extra stars to her punctuality if I could.
La profesional mas genial que conoci, ella es tu amiga, tu socio y la persona que busca conocerte y entenderte para poder hacer su magia en tu rostro. Sin duda es la mejor maquilladora que conoci.
Kansas City is lucky to have the talent of Caro as a makeup artist. She made me feel like a rockstar on my wedding. We had a trial ahead of time with minimal need for any tweaks but she would have been open to making it look however I prefer. She is talented and sweet and professional and I would highly recommend her services
Caro is so amazing and talented. She’s just so sweet and you can tell she loves what she does. Very punctual and reliable. She did my makeup for my bridal shower, wedding, 5 bridesmaids, and both mothers on the wedding day. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful!
