Karla and her assistant did makeup for my family for our reception. They were at the venue on time. They listened to how we wanted our makeup and hair and gave ideas too! We got so many compliments at our reception! I highly recommend them and we will definitely use them again.

Karla did my daughter’s makeup for prom. I found her to be incredibly kind and professional. At one point, my daughter expressed that she felt the makeup was a bit too dark for her fair skin. We realized the lighting in her room was affecting the desired outcome, so we moved to a different area, and Karla allowed my daughter to wash her face and start all over again. Throughout the process, she was very patient and checked in with my daughter to see how she felt about each step. She did a beautiful job, and my daughter was so happy with the results! We highly recommend Karla and will use her again in the future!

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

Karla did an incredible work as a makeup artist for our video shoot. Her talent, attention to detail, and ability to bring each look to life made such a difference on camera. Beyond that, her calm energy and professionalism kept everything running smoothly, even during the long hours. We will definitely work with her again.
