One of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding was hiring Karina. When I had to last minute postpone my wedding due to pregnancy, she showed me so much grace and flexibi...
lity— and in a very special coincidence, she ended up being pregnant too with our babies due 3 weeks apart. That will always be a sweet memory to me.
What sets Karina apart is her unwavering dedication to her clients. At my bridal trial, she took the time to ask thoughtful, detailed questions and was so incredibly thorough in getting to know me. When you’re in her chair you don’t feel rushed or overlooked, you genuinely feel like a priority. She made me feel important, valued, and like my wedding truly mattered to her. That level of intention and care is rare to find.
On the wedding day itself, Karina arrived and immediately brought amazing energy into the room. Her commitment to cleanliness and sanitation was immediately evident. Her station set up is efficient and comfortable for everybody. Due to us having a big bridal party, Karina hired a second artist to accompany her. Rest assured that you can trust and feel confident in who she brings. Her second artist was professional, clean, kind, and talented. Every single girl felt (& looked) amazing, with everybody’s makeup lasting all day and well into the night.
I looked exactly how I envisioned on my wedding day. Everything about it was stunning. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself, while still feeling fully like me. I loved it so much. It held up flawlessly.
I am so grateful for the role Karina played in my wedding and throughout the journey. I cannot recommend Karina enough — not just for her talent, but also for her heart.

ere wonderful. She also did makeup for my bridesmaids, and everyone looked and felt so beautiful.
What I appreciate most about Karina is how respectful she is of her clients’ preferences. I don’t wear makeup every day, so too much can feel overwhelming, and she completely understood that. She created the perfect soft glam look that still felt like me. She even thoughtfully removed the makeup from my moles so they could show, such a small detail, but one that made me feel comfortable and authentic.
She’s also incredibly professional, on time, super clean, organized, and calm throughout the process. On a day that could have been stressful, she brought such positive energy and made everyone feel at ease.
I couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you want someone talented, kind, and truly attentive to your vision, Karina is the one.

e is an artist! She has an amazing attention to detail, and she works with such care and cleanliness. I have sensitive skin and cleanliness is highly important to me, Karina takes hygiene very seriously and I love that about her.
She tailors make up perfectly to each persons features and preferences. My make up stayed on and still looked fresh until 2 am when I had originally got it done at 10 am. I cannot recommend Karina enough, I already can’t wait for her to do my make up again. If you want to look like the best version of yourself, she’s the one to book ❤️

Karina was attentive and patient. She worked with grace and made any changes we asked for. She took the time to touch us up before the ceremony and we were all stunned at how well our makeup held up in the 90+ degree heat.
I would choose Karina 10x over if I had to do it all again!

clients feel special. From the moment I booked with her, I knew I wasn’t just getting a makeup artist—I was getting someone who would make my wedding day even more unforgettable. Karina was extremely flexible and adaptable, always ensuring I felt comfortable and beautiful throughout the process. On the day of my wedding, she was there for me and my mom every step of the way. She made sure we were both at ease, and even helped my mom with my veil and anything else that came up. Her attention to detail and willingness to pitch in wherever needed made all the difference, and I felt so supported and cared for. If you're looking for a makeup artist who’s not only skilled but also genuinely kind and thoughtful, Karina is the one to book! Absolutely love her!❤️

arina was the best decision I made about my wedding! When we first met for the trial I was immediately comfortable and relaxed she had talked me through some different options and through the process she asked me how I felt about each part and if I wanted to change anything. Karina is everything and more you would want for a makeup artist she brings the best energy, she is sweet and understanding! I will be forever grateful I had her for my makeup artist and I can’t wait to get my makeup done again!
Also not only did our makeup last all night through dancing and wind but myself, my mom and my maid of honor all slept with our makeup on and it was still exactly how we had it applied the morning before.

ure how I wanted my wedding look to be yet, but Karina came through with roaring theme look and that night when I showed up to the birthday party I had so many compliments. Family and friends kept asking us she the one doing the makeup for your wedding and I said, yes!
Fast forward to months later, we were still in contact, but I mostly appreciated was I found out the venue where I was getting married at she got married at too, so our conversation was authentic and with ease. I asked her a lot of questions and I'm so thankful she already experienced what I was about to because it emotionally prepared me for what's to come.
Karina is very professional, responsive, understanding, and very calm. That helped me as a bride even on the day of my wedding because I trusted her to do what she does best. I was open to any and all suggestions she had even though I knew what I wanted, I prayed over her hands LOL.
My bridesmaids looked so gorgeous and everyone loved their look. Karina did an amazing job and I would definitely work with her again for any of my future functions. I can now say, I know a good MUA and she's not too far from me.
The best part is I found her on The Knot and shortly after she was awarded best of The Knot 2023. When you work with her you'll understand why. She is more than awesome, she's an amazing being inside and out!

Karina is amazing! She is so sweet, welcomed me into her own home and was so easy to talk to. I was a wedding guest and I wanted to get my makeup done just for fun. I found her on ...
Instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. We never did a trial and she did exactly what I envisioned for my makeup! She was thorough, took her time, and made sure I loved it before leaving. 100% recommend Karina!

I can’t express enough how AMAZING Karina was, I hired her for my wedding over this past weekend and she went above and beyond to make us all feel beautiful. I had a last minute ch...
ange of heart on some of the tones of my makeup (because I’m such an indecisive person) and she took it in stride and made those changes with no hesitation and it came out absolutely gorgeous! She made all the girls feel beautiful and look beautiful all night. I had so many compliments alllll night about my makeup!
I cried like a baby during our ceremony and my makeup held flawlessly. Even after dinner, drinking, and dancing my makeup didn’t budge. I am so impressed and so thankful to have had Karina apart of my special day! I highly recommend to hire her.

d, not covered up. I booked her for my wedding in November 2021, and I couldn’t have been any more happy with her work then I was that day. She clicked with my girls right away and fit right in. She made each of us feel special, heard, and absolutely comfortable. My makeup lasted all evening and I felt stunning. I will be recommending her to ALL my friends and family. She’s the best ❤️

arina was right by my side, wedding morning. Her gentle, light handed make-up application provided such a comfortable experience. She held great conversation to keep my nerves at ease. She offered water, fresh air, breaks, and help with steaming my gown. Karina’s calm and pleasant energy made my make-up experience the best and one of the most memorial moments of my wedding day. I really enjoyed Karina and the friendship we developed during her service. I can’t wait to book her again!
