Absolutely amazing make up. It looked so natural and soft. The best part is I was sweating like crazy and I never had to retouch my makeup. As many times as I got my make up done, I never had an experience where I didn’t need to retouch. I felt so amazing all day and got countless compliments. Sadly I didn’t get a selfie for myself but I will be using Karla again in the future. 😊

Karla was literally the best and able to get me last minute! I got so many compliments on my makeup. I also loved how she gave a mini touch up kit just in case, but it was definitely not needed my makeup stood on all night! Will definitely book again for all events in the future!

Karla was a GEM. She got back to me within minutes of me requesting a quote she did my stepdaughters makeup for prom and was glowing. She listened to my daughter every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Cannot recommend enough.

Karla was very professional. She made sure I was comfortable since this was my first time doing makeup professionally. I would definitely hire her again.

Karla was punctual, responsive, and very professional throughout the entire experience. I booked her for my wedding day. She took care of my skin before applying makeup. I felt beautiful and she adjusted the look to my liking. I requested makeup look that would photograph well and last a long time, since it was raining on my wedding day. I ended up falling asleep in my makeup and wore it the next day. It lasted so long and did no break me out. I will definitely be using her services again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is very reasonable and fair, I do use quality products and travel with supplies so I am always fully prepared including the lighting. I also provide every client with touch up kits with lots of goodies and product to ensure you are set for your event the entire time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always ask for their skin type and inspiration on the makeup look they want to achieve. I also will ask how often they wear makeup and if they have any preferences for how certain steps are done.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been certified by makeup artists from out of the country where I have been able to sharpen my skills as an artist. I also have been trained by several brands like Anastasia Beverly Hills, Smashbox, It! Cosmetics, Bare Minerals, Nudestix, Urban Decay, Benefit, and Kylie Cosmetics, which allows me to have a universal understanding of different approaches to artistry.
