Karla was quick to respond and it was clear that she values her clients and making them look their best. She advised me on which makeup look would work best for me out of the inspiration pictures I brought and recommended that I not use fake lashes as they would be too much on me. I appreciated her guidance to ensure I felt like myself, just enhanced. And I felt beautiful during my engagement photos.

She is also extremely friendly and makes you feel comfortable while she does your makeup.

Best make up I ever got done in my life!
She is so young, at first I wondered if she is experienced enough. When she was done, I was speechless. My husband said this is the best look he has seen. At the event, people walked up to me and paid compliments on my look. When I told I had it done by a professional, they said she must be a pro .
I wish I lived in Maryland, I would use Karla every single time
