Clarissa blew me away with the makeup look she created for me and my mom on my wedding day. I have never seen my mom look so polished and beautiful. She took notes of my Mom’s outfit and made her look cohesive with it. I cried when I saw how well she treated my mom and how great she looked. My makeup was perfect!!!! I have never gotten so many compliments on my makeup before. People said I looked gorgeous and glowing. I totally loved how she made me look. Clarissa is a true artist.

Clarissa did my makeup for my best friends wedding and it came out so beautiful and flawless! I wanted a soft glam look and she executed it perfectly. I couldn’t stop staring at myself every time I walked by a mirror. Got so many compliments at the wedding of how great I looked. My makeup lasted all night. If I’m New York for another event, I will definitely hire her again. Thank you Clarissa!

This was my first time requesting this kind of service, and I am completely satisfied with Clarissa’s service. She put me at ease about my concerns and took the time to listen to what I wanted. My event was a Gala, and everyone complimented me on my makeup. Thanks Clarissa; will be requesting your services again soon!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process when working with a new customer will consist of first finding out what is their project or event. Than disscussing date, time and location to check on availability. Third, would be how many people will be needing the service and if a trial will be needed. Last would be a disscussion of skin and makeup looks than rates.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a certification of completion from a makeup school.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I would always get compliments on my makeup until one day a friend told me I should start doing it on people. I wanted to get certified first and once I did I immediately started working events and weddings.
