Carmen is extremely talented, professional, and was a pleasure to be around while we prepared the morning of the wedding.
At the trial, she willingly and happily understood and executed the smallest changes (personal preferences like when I mentioned I like extending my eyeliner the slightest bit!).
I thought my trial was amazing and was even more impressed with her work on the wedding day- I couldn't have been happier! She made me look exactly like I wanted to!
My makeup lasted and looked great through all the hugs and kisses from guests and dancing all night!
Thank you...

Carmen was amazing!!!! She did beautiful work and made me feel so comfortable. She came to my house on my schedule, did a gorgeous "trial run" for my engagement pictures. I got so many compliments on those pictures. I knew the wedding day make-up would be even better. Her fees were affordable but the service she provided was top notch. I love the airbrush feature. My skin looked so smooth and it stayed on all night. The lashes she put on me made my eyes look amazing. I didn't even feel them after a few minutes
All in all, if you are looking for someone that knows what she's doing and does it with the sweetest heart.....book her!!! Book her now!!!! She was the best!!! One of my favorite vendors!!!! You won't be sorry.

Carmen Shadows Makeup Artistry was wonderful. She was highly communicative with me regarding the type of makeup I wanted and was very flexible to make sure the final product was all that I hoped. I highly recommend her services!

Carmen was a pleasure to work with! All night, my guests commented on how wonderful my make-up looked. Not only did she do a wonderful job, but she lifted a lot of possible stress from me, knowing that I did not have to worry about how I would look.
Thanks Carmen! I will certainly recommend you to all my friends!!!

Carmen did an amazing job, not only for me but also my bridesmaids and my mother. For someone who does not typically wear a lot of makeup, she walked me through the process and gave me a beautiful yet subtle look. I couldn't have chosen a better artist.

Carmen did my makeup for my wedding, as well as makeup for 4 bridesmaids, one junior bridesmaid, my mother, and mother-in-law, and she was fabulous! First, and most importantly, we all loved our makeup. I looked great, if I do say so myself, and one of my bridesmaids commented that her makeup looked better on my wedding day than on her own! Second, she was quick, getting all 8 of us done with time to spare. Third, I thought she charged a very reasonable fee (and she didn't even charge us for the junior bridesmaid's makeup). She was also very responsive to me when I let her know a few weeks before the wedding that I wanted to change my makeup a bit, and she emailed me to let me know that she was going to be away for the few days before my wedding in case I was trying to get in touch with her, which I really appreciated. Finally, she gave me a great goody bag with the MAC lipstick of my choice, blotting papers, and more. It was great. We were all thrilled with Carmen's work and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks, Carmen!

Carmen was wonderful to work with! She gave me the exact look I was going for! After my first trial, I wasn't sure about my eye shadow, so she gave me another trial just for eyes to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted for my big day!

Carmen was amazing. She did my makeup for my engagement session and for my wedding day. Both were flawless. The airbrush makeup still looked perfect by the end of the night even after crying. I highly recommend her she really is amazing.

Carmen is a truly gifted and talented makeup artist who creates the most beautiful look possible. She is kind and warm and very easy to work with. She does a fantastic job. She made the bride look and feel like a fairy princess and the bride's mother look years younger than her true age! Carmen has the magic that transforms the face to a beautiful masterpiece!

Carmen was a delight to work with from day 1. She was very accommodating especially when it came to scheduling the trial, since my schedule is so hectic. I was very pleased with the trial and I feel like she really listened to what I wanted. On the day of the wedding she got to the hotel on time and started working right away. There was a moment when I started panicking thinking my bridal party wasn't going to be ready on time but Carmen was very calm, did not rush and the end result was just amazing. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful and the makeup lasted all night.
I would definitely work with Carmen again and I highly recommend her!
Carmen thank you so much for being a part of a very special day, for your professionalism and your amazing talent.

Carmen made my day as stress free as ever knowing that she was making me and my mom beautiful for the wedding. Her services were spectacular and we both came out looking wonderful all through out the night even after many many tears flowing and my mom almost passing out. Carmen, Thank you once again for everything! My husband adored the way i looked at the end!!!!!

Carmen did such an amazing job on my makeup. Her patience and kindness made me very relaxed and comforted. Her selection of make-up was a girls dream. She had everything you could think of. The airbrush machine made my skin flawless. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional make up artist that knows her stuff. Thank You Carmen!!!

Carmen is amazing to work with. Not only is she talented, but she's a wonderful person. She was so helpful in helping me achieve the look that I wanted! I could not have asked for anything else. Not only did she make me look beautiful, all of my bridesmaids and Mom looked wonderful too!

Carmen was absolutely fabulous. She provided makeup services for me, my matron of honor, mother, and grandmother. Her makeup skills are amazing and she is so sweet, professional, and caring. I received compliments all night long on how beautiful the makeup was. The makeup stayed put all night long, even after an outside ceremony and an hour of outdoor photos. I never had to retouch.
Best of all, she took fabulous care of my grandmother, who has Alzheimer's, and helped make her look like the grandmother I remember from before she became ill. That meant so much to me and my family.
I wish i could have my makeup done everyday by Carmen!

Carmen is a pleasure to work with. Carmen's expertise in airbrush makeup helped me relax on my wedding day. My makeup held up all day despite the heat of south Florida. Carmen is friendly and professional. I would recommend Carmen to anyone who wants to look beautiful for their special day.

Carmen was so great! She understood that I didn't wear makeup regularly and created for me a subtle look that photographed beautifully. Carmen is very pleasant and easy to work with. Whenever I had questions she responded quickly. For any future special occasions, I would not hesitate to contact Carmen at Shadows Makeup Artistry. Her prices were very reasonable and her professionalism and abilities exceeded all my expectations.
