“Kara is an incredible make-up artist and stylist! When you book with her, it’s not just about the make-up but the experience. She helped me with wedding recommendations for vendors and walked me through what to anticipate with the wedding process. On the day of our wedding, she not only made me feel special but my daughters as well. Her professional expertise and years of experience helped create some timeless photos for our family, and made us feel at ease. Kara was there for touch ups during my photo shoot as well as the ceremony. When I had a dress emergency, she whipped out some Shout wipes to help. I cannot say enough amazing things about this talented entrepreneur. We recommend Kara for anyone with make up or styling needs!”

“I have had the amazing opportunity to use Kara in 3 separate sessions. Kara is very professional, on time and does an amazing job. Our make up was on point for all 3 photos sessions. We looked great in our pictures! She explained everything and clearly knows what we. All need to look amazing. I will definitely use her every opportunity I get in the future. I know Kara in a professional setting as well. She is organized, reliable and everything she does in on point. Call her and schedule your next event with her if you can. You will not be disappointed.”

“Kara is amazing! She came highly recommended by my wedding planner and did the make up for me, my bridesmaids, and my family. At first, I was a little hesitant as her price point was higher than going to ulta/sephora, for example, but the value she brought to my wedding day was truly priceless.

Kara was punctual, efficient, friendly, and most importantly, did a beautiful job on every single look. She can work with any skin tone or any age skin (even my 90 yo grandma!) to create a wonderful, fresh look that shows up flawless in pictures but does not look too heavy in person.

She also truly is what her slogan claims: [MUCH] “more than a make up artist”. Kara went above and beyond the usual role of an MUA, helping solve a wardrobe disaster with a bridesmaid, holding an umbrella and carrying my train during my rainy walk to the chapel. She was truly a life saver and the highest-value vendor that I hired for my wedding day and would choose over and over again.

Obviously because she did such a wonderful job on my bridal make up, I have continued to go to her for special occasion looks (see photo). She is always flexible and accommodating, even with last minute requests. She works so efficiently that you never have to budget more than 20 mins of getting-ready time when you are going to see her.

To sum it up, Kara is unmatched and truly the best MUA in the Gainesville area (and likely beyond!) I am so happy I connected with her and recommend her wholeheartedly!”
