Makeup was the one thing that scared me the most, above any other vendor that I hired. I usually do my own makeup. In fact, I'm the girl that does all of my girlfriends' makeup too when we go out...so it was hard for me to let go on this day and let someone else do it...especially because not ONCE have I ever had someone do my makeup in such a way that I liked it as well as I did it myself. Nobody ever seemed to "get it." So why did I decide to hire one at all? I figured that although I do my makeup well for everyday, I didn't know a thing about how my makeup needed to look for photographs. After probably 9 different makeovers in my life, I thought perhaps I was just too critical. Not so...and I knew that after I met Carina. I was so scared to go look in the mirror when she said "Okay, you can go look now and then you can just let me know what we need to change." I peered into the mirror with dread....and almost cried when I saw that it was perfect! I didn't want to change even one thing...and that has NEVER happened to me. The day of the wedding was even better than the trial...she made me, my mom, and my cousin all look beautiful. She's one amazing artist and I feel lucky that I found her. In addition to being a great artist, she is really sweet and down to earth, and I was happy to see her on my wedding day :)
