“Carina is the best of the best! Not only is she incredibly talented at makeup, but she also has a warm and bubbly personality that makes working with her a pleasure. Carina has done my makeup for three separate occasions (including my own wedding) and executed each event flawlessly. Her makeup work is naturally beautiful and holds up all night long. Her time management skills and attention to detail on a busy wedding day are beyond impressive. I highly recommend her to everyone - Thanks Carina!”
“Carina was AMAZING! We had our wedding at a summer camp, she traveled on site and did an incredible job doing all the bridesmaids, moms, and bride’s makeups. Every girl looked and felt amazing all day long. She made me feel confident and the makeup looked great through the end of the night. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Both moms were a little nervous about having their makeup done and Carina made them look beautiful and took away all worries about the makeup feeling heavy or looking too extravagant, they both wore fake eyelashes too and loved the way they looked.”
“I was lucky enough to have Carina do my makeup for my bridal shower and wedding day & I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! I felt so beautiful and my makeup literally stayed on ALL night long! My bridesmaids all loved their makeup as well! She has an amazing personality, was so easy to work with & made us all feel so special! She took time to make sure we all loved our makeup & didn’t want anything changed or different. I would have her do my makeup again for any occasion!”
“Carina was absolutely amazing throughout my entire wedding process! She did my makeup for my engagement session, bridal shower, and wedding day, and I couldn’t have been happier! She glammed 12 girls on my wedding day and made everyone feel so beautiful! We received so many compliments, and our makeup stayed perfect all from 6AM until the time we left the dance floor!
She is incredibly talented and so easy to work with! She made everyone feel so comfortable and I’m so grateful she was part of my special day!! I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“She’s the best!
Carina is one of the sweetest, most caring people I’ve ever met - I’m so grateful she was a part of my wedding day! As someone who doesn’t typically wear make up, I didn’t want to look overdone or unlike myself. At my trial I was totally at ease seeing Carina’s vision for my look, and it was even more stunning on the day of my wedding. Carina coordinated with a few other vendors to set up in a location super convenient for me and my bridal party. She kept to our timeline but no one felt rushed, and everyone looked amazing. She has honestly created one of the best customer service experiences I encountered in planning my wedding, and I can not speak highly enough of her work.”
“I LOVED my make-up! you are so talented!”
“Dear Carina,
I wanted to reach out to you and let you know, I so appreciated the calm way you treated me and the very professional outcome. I know that it could not have been easy work for you! You did turn a beast into a beauty. As crazy as it sounds; there were many people that did not even notice my injury. Of course, all eyes were on Laura. She really did look stunning, a most spectacular bride!
Again, thank you so much for all you did for us last week!

“Carina has done my makeup on multiple occasions for photo shoots and special nights out. So, when it came time to decide on my wedding makeup, it was a no-brainer that I wanted Carina to be the one making sure I looked perfect for my special day. We did a test a few weeks before and decided how I wanted to my makeup to look on the wedding day. Carina was so great about listening to exactly what I wanted. She never got upset or defensive about my adjustments and we collaborated until we had it perfect! It was very important to me to look natural, but still have enough coverage for photography. My now husband was worried the makeup would be too strong and I wouldn’t look like myself (which has happened to me in other weddings), but he was so happy with the results! Carina nailed it :)
I can’t think of a more warm, loving, and talented person I would want helping me get ready for such a momentous occasion in my life. Carina, always with a smile on her face, helped keep me calm the whole morning as we primped and preened. I was able to relax because I knew I was in her amazing and capable hands. I had complete faith and trust in her ability to make me my most gorgeous self for that walk down the aisle (or giant hill in my case).
Carina also did my sister’s (my MOH) and my mother’s makeup on my wedding day. They both looked beautiful. My mother doesn’t wear a lot of makeup normally and when she has had it done in the past it was far too strong, she felt uncomfortable, and she ended up wiping most of it off. Carina made my mom look absolutely stunning. I was so impressed. My mom looked and felt great all day and wasn’t self-conscious about her makeup at all! My wedding photos are the best photos I’ve ever seen of my mom hands down.
I would not hesitate to recommend Carina to anyone in need of makeup services no matter how big or small the event. In fact, I would probably force them to use her.
From the bottom of my frantic bridezilla heart- Thank you, Carina!”
