Hi, I’m Karla.
NICE TO MEET YOU!
My goal with all of my clients regardless of their beauty needs is to make sure that they feel like themselves—just elevated.

I was born and raised in Mexico City, where the exposure of culture and arts was very formative. I GREW UP OIL PAINTING which is how my love for intuitive color began.
I met my husband while I was on a trip in Zion Canyon. He was going down the trail and I was going up the trail… and the rest is my favorite love story with my favorite person.
Art classes WERE my favorite in College and one day I decided to learn how to do makeup FOR MYSELF. in my search TO LEARN, i found a FANTASTIC makeup school where I received extensive training on corrective makeup techniques to create balance and symmetry.

After college and a very intensive Makeup Artistry education, I started my career as a Makeup Artist over 15 years ago.
I exclusively worked in the Fashion and Entertainment industry. Music videos, commercials, TV, campaigns, editorials, and red carpet were my focus until the wedding industry took me by surprise.
After being a part of a FEW ENTERTAINMENT client weddings, a bridal magazine cover and a campaign for a bridal designer, I started getting inquiries for weddings. The rest was history: I fell in love with the bridal industry.
I truly enjoy having such a diverse career WHERE one day I am ON SET OF a FASHION campaign and the NEXT DAY, I’m IN A BRIDAL SUITE GETTING A BRIDE READY TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE.

My approach to makeup is to empower and elevate your NATURAL look. We do not need to look different to feel beautiful; It’s about feeling like yourself—but elevated.
You don't have to put makeup on to feel good, but there is power in it, there is power in what you project, AND IN HOW you feel.
REGARDLESS OF THE EVENT OR OCCASSION, I love helping women turn that CONFIDENCE button on.

FAQS
-
Even Though we believe in being present, when it comes to booking your dream vendors, you need to do it as soon as possible.
We book up to 18 months in advance.
-
That’s totally fine; we can always add a few more services.
However, while booking your makeup and hair initially, it’s important that you try your best to provide a confirmed number of services (because we book our team based on the amount of services).
-
It’s up to you! Some of our clients prefer to book a trial before they sign a contract and others prefer to do it for their engagement pictures or other events.
However, I recommend your makeup preview should be done at least a month before the wedding.
