lly listened to the type of make up look I was going for and nailed it. She replicated it the day of my wedding and it stayed ALL day! I cried a lot and my makeup didn't budge! She is so efficient and did my entire bridal party with time to spare. Kara is also a super sweet woman and was so fun to have around while we were getting ready. The absolute best!

fit for our wedding. Kara answered allllll of the questions I had 2 years out from our date. She made me feel very confident and she was super patient as plans changed over the wedding planning process. Kara was prompt, kind, and silly with our group; a boisterous and somewhat rowdy group of girls. Her work speaks for itself-she is very talented and her products are top knotch professional quality. We are very lucky to have had her for our wedding day. Thank you tremendously Kara!!

responsive, and so easy to work with. She expertly turned ideas from me, five bridesmaids, and two moms into beautiful looks that made everyone glow. I felt stunning and confident and got so many complements. What's more, my makeup stayed in place until I washed my face at 2 am the next morning. I loved working with Kara and am so grateful I found her!
By the time I reached out to Kara for my wedding make up, she herself was already all booked up for my wedding day. She let me know her team member Caly would be my make up artist ...
for my big day and I was a little nervous because I hadn’t seen Caly’s work. Well, those nerves were for nothing because Caly was absolutely amazing! The entire process of booking, scheduling the trial, and paying the invoice were so easy. Kara and Caly were always quick to reply to me when I had questions. My trial and day of make up were stunning! I felt so beautiful and my make up really held up. (I was dancing a lot so there was same sweating going on). Caly was such a joy to have there on my wedding morning. She made me and all my bridesmaids look and feels truly beautiful. She is also sweet as can be! I would absolutely recommend Kara and her team, especially Caly, for your wedding make up.

ne looked FLAWLESS. Kara is not only one of the sweetest people, she is so talented. As one of my bridesmaids said "I still look like myself just a perfect version of myself." I had such a range of bridesmaids from girls who rarely wore makeup to girls who love full glam and Kara could handle any request they had. Also, the day of my wedding was really hot and humid and my makeup stayed put the whole entire night and I received so many compliments. Kara, you are amazing and I can't thank you enough!
Kara was wonderful! She is so great to work with and always responds to questions. Plus the makeup she did for my bridesmaids and me was absolutely beautiful.

Kara did my makeup for my engagement photos and also my makeup/my bridal parties makeup for my wedding and let me just say - we will never use another makeup artist again! She’s th...
e number choice for me, my friends, and my family. Not only is she incredibly talented, she’s also so kind and down to earth. She made all of us feel beautiful and comfortable! Leading up to the event she was so easy to work with and very accommodating. There aren’t enough good words I could say about her! But I’ll say this - if you want a makeup artist who calms your nerves and laughs with you the day of your wedding and who, more importantly, makes you feel like a million bucks, choose Kara!
Kara did my makeup, along with the makeup of my 5 bridesmaids and my mom, before my wedding on 10/7/17. She made me feel SO beautiful and the makeup lasted all night! I never had t...
o touch up my skin or eyes and I didn't notice any shine in my photos, which is usually a problem for me.
Kara was completely professional by being responsive to emails, showing up on time, and listening intently to what each girl had envisioned for their makeup. After my makeup trial, I decided to go in a different direction and Kara listened to my feedback and executed it perfectly on the day of.
I would definitely hire Kara again if I ever needed my makeup done for any event!
Kara is the best! She did my wedding makeup along with all my bridesmaids and mom. She’s professional, punctual, and precise. You won’t be disappointed!!

t and even throughout the morning. I felt like myself but with a little more glam and that was what was most important to me. I know for big events when I want to look a little more dolled up I’ll be calling Kara to help!! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a MUA who will listen to your vision of yourself on your big day!
