From my trial to my official wedding day, Karina was so amazing at finding my perfect makeup look! I wanted to go with a natural glam and not let it feel too “heavy” and she definitely did not disappoint!! I felt so beautiful on my big day and my makeup stayed in all day, even through the heat and lots of happy tears. If you are looking for an amazing sweet person with an awesome talent for makeup, please don’t hesitate to book her! You won’t regret it! :) thank you Karina for everything again, you made my wedding day so memorable!

Karina is so sweet and I felt I connected with her easily from the start when I welcomed her into my home to glam me up for my backyard minimony.
She was pleasant to be with, helped instruct me to relaxation, I enjoyed her passion and energy for beauty, and she did a beautiful job - my mother in law was AMAZED how flawless Karina made me look for the evening. She showed me a picture of my hair from the back when she was done and I was in shock it was me. My family could tell she loves what she does.
We are very happy to have her on my wedding team. She is a pleasure, she is communicative with texting, and as a stressed out bride it was so appreciated. She was perfectly prepared with everything she needs, I didn't supply anything but my hair piece. She happily showed my sister how to place my veil into my hair later.
I do not wear makeup so I stressed over and over to her I want as natural as possible. Job well done, she made me feel very comfortable in my skin, and I am getting RAVING comments on my hair and makeup - I can't stop looking at my pictures.
Very grateful for Karina's services and I look forward to having her glam my bridesmaids and I up for my postponed wedding next year!

I worked with Karina and from day one till my wedding day she was phenomenal! My sister-in-law found her through local recommendations and set me an appointment. She was professional, prompt, and flexible with my schedule as well. I did a trial and fell completely in love with my look, and came my wedding day, nothing less than the best. She had great recommendations throughout the process in skin and beauty care for my big day. She communicates effectively and in a timely manner through text or calls. She was a joy having around, her final product was amazing, a lot of my guests asked who did my makeup that day. Overall a wonderful experience. Thank you Karina!

Karina made me look and feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and my bridesmaids looked amazing as well. I seriously could not stop looking at myself. It’s exactly how I wanted to look. I loved that she went by our preference making sure it was the look that we wanted and not what she thought it should be. She did our make up pretty fast, too but still put enough time to make all of us look stunning! I definitely would recommend her. She’s super sweet and easy to work with.

Karina and her assistant were AMAZING!!! She brought myself and all my bridesmaids to tears over she was done with us. All of us felt so beautiful and she knew exactly what we wanted and delivered! I can't explain in words how breathtaking I felt as a bride in that moment when I looked at her finished work in the mirror! My husband when he saw me for our first look was holding back tears and that was exactly what I wanted! If you are looking for a makeup/hairstylist Karina and her team are the way to go!!!

I am writing this review SO LATE, but I loved Karina's work!
Karina was my HMU artist for my wedding back in November 2023. She also did my bridesmaids hair/makeup and everyone loved her work! When looking for an HMU artist, I was looking for a natural glam look where the make-up elevated my features/look (but I didn't want to look like an entirely different person). After making a list and comparing rates/looks, Karina definitely won out! Karina's prices were super fair and she also offered a trial.
I ended up wearing the trial makeup to a wedding and the look stayed the entire night.
For my own make-up, I showed Karina inspo photos and she was able to recreate the look. I love that she asked for my opinion throughout the process. Overall, I felt beautiful on my wedding night! And everything was perfect.

Karina did an absolutely fantastic job with makeup for my wedding. I usually wear very light makeup, but wanted to "wow" on my wedding day while still looking like myself. Karina helped me find the perfect glam look that was impressive but not over the top.My bridesmaids were very happy with their looks as well. I wanted everyone to have the look they wanted, and she tailored the looks to each of their styles.She was also professional and accommodating with several last minute changes on the number of people needing makeup done, and I feel the prices were very reasonable for the service provided.
