Karen Attardo Beauty

look felt authentically ‘me.’ (& you get to use one of the prettiest mirrors ever for the reveal!) The makeup held up beautifully through happy tears, photos, and an entire night of celebrating. Beyond her skill, she creates an atmosphere where you feel grounded and genuinely cared for. I’m so grateful to have had her as part of my day and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for someone who truly cares about both the craft and the person in her chair.

any like Karen's. I can't say the same for some other vendors, but Karen's team crushed it. They were professional, yet personable, fun and creative. They made sure everyone was happy with their looks and received the touch ups needed. I was 3 months postpartum for my wedding. With that came a lot of skin issue - breakouts, dry patches, the works! By working with Karen's team, I was able to really get to know Laura, who helped me maintain a skin routine to make sure my face was at its best for the day of! Being able to work with Laura throughout the summer made seeing her on my wedding day so much more special. Karen was great when it came to payments, communication, and overall needs. We had unexpected news halfway through wedding planning that pushed the wedding back a couple months. Most vendors would not be as flexible with date changes and would add extra charges. Karen didn't and was incredibly understanding of the situation. 15/10 recommended for makeup services!

lly and delivered exactly what I envisioned on the day of. The soft glam look she created felt elevated and special, but still like me in the best way. Karen was warm, fun to talk to, and just had this calming energy that made the morning feel easy and enjoyable. She was so attentive to detail and checked in with me throughout to make sure everything felt right. By the time I walked down the aisle, I felt confident, beautiful, and completely myself. I would recommend Karen in a heartbeat to any bride. She truly knows how to listen, adjust, and bring a vision to life. So grateful I had her as part of my day!

ing our trial to her flawless execution, I was so at ease my wedding day knowing I was going to look like an elevated version of myself. Would recommend to any future bride!!!

look. Karen nailed it. My bridesmaids and mom wanted more of a natural look, she nailed that too. She was so professional she actually got an injury right before my wedding and still did not let me down for one moment. She still showed up, still did my make up perfect. During my make up trial I gave her feedback and some subtle changes (which I was nervous to do), she was so comfortable with this and SO supportive of the make up look I wanted. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family. 

d all that and more. We both wanted natural makeup, and she completely understood our vision. My wife looked stunning with a soft, natural glow, and I had a slightly more glam look focused on my eyes, which is exactly what I wanted. We both felt SO beautiful, and our makeup lasted the entire day and night. Beyond her talent, Karen brought such a calming energy that helped ease the pre-wedding nerves. She felt like part of our support team. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible makeup artist who will make them feel comfortable, beautiful, relaxed and confident!

so special. They’re not just insanely talented — they’re the kind of people who make you feel calm, confident, and completely taken care of. Even though I’ve known and worked with them for almost 5 years, they still gave me the same care and attention they’d give anyone walking into their chair for the first time. That’s what I love most about them — they truly care about how you feel, take their time to make sure everything is perfect, and somehow make you feel like the most flawless version of yourself while still feeling totally like you. Having them there as both my artists and my friends made the whole experience even more special. They’re amazing people and even more amazing artists — I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without them! ✨

ire bridal party look and feel incredible. Karen has such a calming presence and truly made the morning of my wedding feel relaxed and special. She listened to what each of us wanted and enhanced everyone’s natural beauty in the most flawless way. My bridal makeup lasted all day and night — through happy tears, dancing, and everything in between — and I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. Every single one of my bridesmaids loved their look, and we all received so many compliments throughout the day. Karen is incredibly talented, professional, and kind. If you're looking for someone who will not only make you look amazing but also bring positive energy to your big day, Karen is your girl. I’m so grateful I had her by my side!

riend, and Karen was the BEST find! She is kind, personable, organized, thoughtful... The list goes on! I also saw Karen for a couple of hydrafacials leading up to my wedding. She is SO TALENTED and I can't wait to recommend her to everyone I know that is getting married. Not only is Karen wonderfully talented, but she's just a great human too. No better person to prep you for your best day!

or. I appreciated the makeup trial also, so we could play around with different colors and figure out exactly what I wanted. She is so professional and a joy to work with. Thank you Karen!!

rence with techniques and colors that she knew would work best for my skin type, coloring, etc... She made it a no-brainer to book her as my MUA for my wedding. From the day of my trial to my actual wedding day (which were nearly a year apart), Karen was very responsive and always easy to contact. Answering any of my questions, listening to any adjustments I wanted to make from my trial look, and creating a clear and thoughtful wedding day glam timeline well in advance, she was by far the easiest vendor to deal with! But on to (most importantly) the big day... My wedding day makeup was better than I could have ever imagined. I am not exaggerating when I say everything about it was perfection. Not only did I look and feel like an absolute queen, but Karen definitely passed the vibe check as well. Her glam timeline was on point, which alleviated a lot of potential stress, and getting my makeup done was so fun and relaxing with her. She made it very easy to trust her while she was doing her thing and I truly got to enjoy getting ready with my friends and family because of that. She also did an amazing job on my bridal party. From my 15 year old niece who was a jr. bridesmaid to my mom who is 65, everyone looked (and felt!) amazing. I could never thank Karen enough for making me look and feel the best I ever have on my very special day.

th my look. The first thing I said to Karen was that I wanted to look beautiful but still like myself. That sentiment defines Karen's work perfectly. Her attention to detail and skill are truly impressive. Not only is Karen great at her job, but she is also someone you want by your side. Two days before my wedding I had a spray tan nightmare. I texted Karen for help and her connections had me at ease and scheduled for a new tan in no time. If you're looking for a talented and professional makeup artist for your big day, I highly recommend Karen. Thank you for your part in making my wedding day perfect!

t just not like having my makeup professionally done. I was so wrong! From the start, Karen listened to my concerns and wants, and executed the look perfectly! In addition to my wedding makeup, she also recommended some skin prep procedures such as a facial to help my skin be photo and makeup ready! I cannot recommend Karen enough…from start to finish she was communicative, collaborative, and an awesome addition to our special day!

who doesn’t wear much makeup, I was nervous about looking overly done, but Karen made sure I still looked and felt like myself—just the best version! Everyone else who got their makeup done loved it too. She brought such great energy to the getting-ready process and was such a joy to work with. Highly recommend her to any bride!

e morning so special, and I will forever be grateful. The makeup held up perfectly throughout the day/night! I highly recommend booking her as your MUA you will be so happy you did!🤍

a wide variety of knowledge and experience with makeup. She was able to answer any questions and when I told her to do whatever she thought would look best, she did not disappoint! Not to mention, it was an absolute joy being in her chair. She made an effort to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. Even the month in between our trail and the wedding day, she would occasionally check in to see how I was still feeling about the makeup. When I asked for a second trail to try out a few changes, Karen was super flexible and understanding. On the day of the wedding, Karen’s attention to everyone individually and organization was evident. Everyone's makeup looked flawless till the very end of the night. We were dancing, sweating, eating and drinking and there was not a single eyelash out of place. I felt so confident throughout the day and couldn't be happier to see myself in all the pictures. Which is not always the case for me!

ok day of!!! As someone who doesn’t wear makeup often she nailed the natural glam and was everything I hoped for. Bridesmaids, MOG, and MOB all looked fabulous and makeup didn’t smudge AT ALL even with sweat (85 degrees with ceremony outside) and lots of tears! She’s your girl!!

d a great job at that! I will continue to have Karen do my makeup for any special occasions in the future!

n for your makeup and skincare needs for your wedding weekend! I was referred to Karen through a friend after I had a horrific trial experience with another vendor. After talking with her and explaining my situation, she was kind, understanding, empathetic and flexible. She was also extremely professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process and communicated with my hair vendor as well to ensure the timelines matched up. I don’t wear a ton of makeup and wanted a natural and classic yet elevated look. She took everything into consideration and I loved my trial and day of makeup look! We made a few modifications to the lip but that was all! All my bridesmaids and mothers were so happy with their makeup on the day of as well- she listened to their needs and did what they wanted! She was on time and kept us all in line getting ready the morning of our wedding. I regret not booking Karen from the start as it was such an easy process working with her and I was so happy with the final looks! Karen was amazing and I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the New England area!

day throughout hours of taking pictures in the July sun, and through lots of (sweaty) dancing! She provided a touch up kit that was such a thoughtful detail, including several helpful makeup essentials and a full sized lipstick! She did such an amazing job keeping us on schedule, while also remaining relaxed and making us all feel comfortable! Everybody loved their makeup, and couldn’t stop talking about how fun our morning was. I could not recommend her enough!

y would look. For example I got to try out different lash styles, eye shadow pallets, and lip combinations and never felt rushed, What truly stood out was Karen's ability to listen attentively to my preferences while also offering insightful suggestions that complemented my style. Karen created a natural look that was not only flawless but also made me feel incredibly confident and beautiful. Moreover, their professionalism, communication and warm personality made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this talented makeup artist to anyone looking for a great experience from trial to wedding day! Thank you for making me look and feel my absolute best!

d a great job on all the make up for my girls and i!

trial she made me feel super comfortable and had an unbelievable amount of makeup. My entire bridal party LOVED her and her work and made us feel beautiful. If you're looking for a wedding makeup artist I highly recommend her without a doubt!!

onsideration during my trial and then executed the most beautiful makeup day of. I woke up the day over with a stress reaction leading to a puffy eye and she worked pure magic to the point that you couldn't even tell there was an issue. The getting ready room was chaotic, and she rolled with everything and kept everyone calm. Perhaps even more important than her amazing makeup done for me, she made every single one of my favorite women feel beautiful, including my grandmother (who won't stop talking about how much she loved being pampered by Karen). THANK YOU KAREN!

. She was so easy to communicate with, beyond skilled, and extremely organized. I couldn't recommend Karen more!

ht in with our bridal party. We had so many laughs on the actual wedding day, telling stories, and it just made the vibes of the getting ready party stress free as could be. I keep getting compliments from the girls on how much they loved her and want to work with her again. My sister in law said it's her favorite professional makeup she's ever had and was SO sad to have to take it off at the end of the night. Karen took everyone's requests on their own 'look' but also had the professionalism to recommend certain shadings/colorings based on skin tones/hair colors. I highly recommend hiring Karen for all makeup needs & wedding prep - from facials/waxing at Glow to day of on-site makeup, she's your girl!

of and the best version of myself. Would absolutely book with her again!

ul. Karen was great with my entire wedding party, from my junior bridesmaids, bridesmaids to mothers and the bride!!

malistic look some brides want. With her talent I have never seen my family and MOH look more beautiful in my entire life. There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Karen is. Thanks girl!! 🩷🩷

e look amazing on my wedding day, but she also did my makeup for engagement pictures and my bridal shower and it was totally flawless each and every time. I literally do not know how she does it, but my makeup did not budge through pictures, drinks, and a lot of dancing my makeup (same with my mom, MIL, and bridesmaids). She not only does great work but is also professional, kind, and really cares about what she does. You absolutely will not regret hiring Karen for your big day!

l of my family/friends asked if they could be added on to get their makeup done for the wedding! I've been married for a month and have already had guests ask for her contact. Look no further for the perfect makeup artist for your wedding!

. My entire bridal party (10 bridesmaids) plus my mom and my husband mother loved their makeup and we got compliments all day! Can’t recommend her enough.

in my life! She takes the time to make sure you look exactly how you want to feel beautiful. My bridesmaids also loved the way their makeup came out as well. No one needed to do touch-ups throughout the course of the wedding day and it was 80+ degrees! I highly recommend using Karen for any make-up needs you may have. She is professional, personable and phenomenal at what she does!

the makeup for my wedding party. We all felt glamorous, yet looked so natural! My husband loved the way I looked. I cannot recommend Karen enough. She is the Best!

d my make up for my bridal shower and wedding and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! I typically don’t wear much make up so was nervous I would not look like myself but Karen listened to the things I wanted and helped me enhance my make up for the perfect wedding look. My make up lasted through a very hot summer day without smudging or looking caked on. Karen and her partner Jess had done 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms and 2 flower girls that all loved their make up (imagine that many girls getting their make up done and not one complaint!) and we all look forward to hiring Karen for future events. She is extremely nice, professional and super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her for your make up services!

discontinued! So personable and its easy to see that she is amazing at what she does and how she enhances your natural beauty. I was so happy with my look for my wedding day, would absolutely recommend!

r again even if for a night out!

looked! Some of my bridesmaids were a little bit more high maintenance and she was able to capture everyone's vision perfectly. Several bridesmaids had been in other weddings and could not stop talking about how great of a job KK had done compared to other artists they had worked with in the past. One of them has already hired her for their wedding next year! On top of that, KK is extremely easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with. We loved having her with us in the morning while we all got ready for the wedding. I can't thank KK enough for making me and my bridesmaids look & feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I would recommend her 1000%

ed in my photos. I wish she could do my makeup every time I go out! She highlights your natural beauty and makes you pop in all the right places. I cannot recommend Karen enough!!!
