“I booked Kara for my graduation photoshoot, and she was absolutely amazing! The makeup was flawless, stayed perfect throughout the shoot, and photographed beautifully. Her attention to detail and professionalism stood out, and she made the entire experience so enjoyable. She was also super responsive and accommodating during the booking process.”
“Kara is a master at her craft. She listened to what I wanted out of my photoshoot and nailed it, my makeup was perfect. She’s also easy to talk to and makes the process very comfortable. Kara is my new go-to for makeup for all events!”
“Kara did a wonderful job on my makeup! She was professional and fun, and I’m so happy with the results. I’m a natural redhead who now has eyebrows and eyelashes that you can see! My dear partner gave the makeup session to me as a gift prior to one of our date nights. I highly recommend her for any makeup needs you have!!”
“I’ve used Kara twice (wedding and boudoir), and will absolutely use her for all of my future makeup needs! Kara is not only extremely professional and does absolutely beautiful work, she is FUN! She’s made both of my getting ready experiences light hearted and full of laughter which makes high-stress days that much more enjoyable. Absolutely recommend her for all of your makeup needs!”
