MAKEUP By Carmina-Cristina

If you are looking for a makeup artist who will make you feel comfortable and special while making you look spectacular, Carmina is your girl. Her personality is very sweet and warm; she puts you at ease and really spends time talking to you about the look you want to achieve. She is also a true artist. I wanted an old hollywood glamour look for my wedding. Not only did I get exactly the "screen siren" look I asked her for, but she tweaked the colors and details just enough that it really matched my personal taste and was not just a beautiful replica of something I'd seen somewhere. Carmina also did the makeup for my bridesmaids and mother. Everyone loved her personality and her work. Each woman done by Carmina looked flawless in our photos. She brought out everyones own unique beauty and was some of the best money that I invested in my event.

Carmina was a true pleasure to work with! She has such a bubbly personality and makes you feel so comfortable. If something about your look isn't quite to your taste, she makes it right and makes sure you feel beautiful on your special day. I got so many compliments on my makeup. The best part was that it didn't feel like I was even wearing any! I highly recommend the airbrush technique. My 4 bridesmaids and even the mothers had their make-up done with rave reviews. Definitely book Carmina!!

My wedding day makeup was AMAZING, both in person and in the pictures. Wish I could have my makeup done by Carmina every day. :)

Carmina is truly one of the sweetest and talented makeup artist you will ever meet! She made my skin absolutely flawless! The pictures turned out great! She is truly an artist and I would recommend her to any bride on her big day!!!

Carmina was an amazing makeup artist to work with. She was very flexible and the looks that she gave me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day were absolutely phenomenal. She was able to tailor each girl's makeup to them and did this in a timely manner. She also offered herself to come to the church and touch up the makeup prior to the ceremony. Carmina is the perfect makeup artist and is very professional. I will hire her for more events to come and absolutely recommend her to my friends and family. Carmina went above and beyond for me, the bride, and made my day extra special. I feel privileged to have had her a part of my wedding day. Carmina is absolutely worth considering for your special event! :)

Carmina is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! If you are questioning whether to go with Carmina, I recommend her 110 percent. She is the sweetest person, extremely flexible, and does AWESOME make up work. She did my make up for my wedding on July 3, 2011 and I was so extremely happy with it. My summer wedding day was hot and humid, and I got the airbrushing and it lasted pretty much all day. She is a dream to work with and a true make up professional. DEFINITELY worth the money!!!! Love her! I can't wait until the next big event that I attend so that I can get my make up done by her again :) Wonderful.

While browsing my many wedding websites and videos of brides on their big day, I ran across a video of Carmina for a local PA bride. At first, it didn't occur to me that I would need my makeup done by a professional and thought the salon would do a great job. I feel in love with Carmina's work- she is beyond talented. Carmina is nothing but amazing to work with. She is very skilled at what she does and knows how to make anyone look beautiful. We started off with a trial which is the best thing to do for any bride because you want to make sure you look gorgeous on your wedding day and don't want any surprises. Carmina walks you through the entire process of what she is doing and works with you to make sure you find a makeup palette that suits you and your level of how much makeup you like. The best thing she does for a bride is the airbrush foundation-it makes your skin look flawless. I was thrilled with my makeup on the day of my wedding-not only did I look beautiful but I still looked like myself. My makeup stayed perfect throughout the night- even with a few small episodes of crying. My makeup-eyeliner and mascara- did not run. If you want the best-Carmina is the girl. She is well worth the money and will make you look nothing less than beautiful on your wedding day.

Carmina did a wonderful job on my makeup. Starting with our first conversation, I knew that she was the makeup artist for me based on her experience and the focus she had on creating the perfect look for my day. At the trial, we not only worked on the "look", but also on my skin regimen. For the following months I followed Carmina's advice using gentle products made from natural ingredients and on my wedding day- it was worth it! My dry skin was gone and my skin looked healthy. The day of my wedding was a bit hectic, but Carmina arrived on time and ready to go. She did a beautiful job on my makeup and throughout the process helped me to stay calm and relax. I received many compliments and am so happy I chose Carmina to work with on my special day.

Carmina Cristina!!!! She is AMAZING!!!!!!!! Carmina did my make up for my wedding day this past weekend. It was such a hot and humid day...I was sweating like crazy. But my make-up last ALL day with crying, sweating, and everything else. It still looked absoutely amazing! Carmina is such a sweetheart! She is so detailed in her work and makes you feel wonderful about yourself. I came to our consultation with pictures out of magazines of makeup styles that I liked. She took all the pictures and combined them to fit my face and it turned out gorgeous! Everyone raved about my eyes and how fantastic they looked! I would recommend Carmina to any bride looking for a makeup artist to make them look fabulous and flawless on their wedding day!

Carmina is the best make up artist around. She is professional, sweet, and is truly an artist. I am so lucky to have hired her for my make up on my wedding day, she made me feel like an angel!! :) She also did the make up for my mother, MOH, and three jr. bridesmaides....she was fabulous with the kids, giving them just a little but not too much. I am actually going to hire her to teach me how to do my makeup on a daily basis. The only advice...make sure you book her right away so you ensure your date!

carmina was wonderful!!! she did an amazing job with my makeup and i got so many compliments on it. she was also extremely accommodating, showing up at 530 am because we had an early ceremony. i really loved working with her...you won't be disappointed.

I have never been told I was stunning or beautiful. After Carmina did my make up on my wedding day, I heard it all day long. I am 64, my son told me I have not looked that good in 20 years...I think that was a compliment. Same goes for my 96 years young Mother. She looked great. Carmena is worth every penny.

Couldn't have asked for more - WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! And worth every Penny!!!

If you are wondering whether you should hire a professional make up artist (MUA) for your wedding day, there are two words for you: DO IT. Carmina is such a wonderful person to work with and on top of providing great makeup, she will make you laugh and feel relaxed on one of the most exciting/nerve-wracking days of your life. She came to me highly recommended by a close friend and everything said about her was true! She is incredibly professional, kind, and funny. I even found that I used some of her makeup application tricks when applying my husband's werewolf makeup at Halloween (if you have your eye makeup done by Carmina, you will know the "Look up, up up!" that I'm referring to; it really works!) Overall, this may be something you think about skipping when all the costs of the wedding start adding up but I strongly caution against it. Even though some salons are talented at makeup, nothing comes close to a professional who does only makeup application for her living. Cannot say enough great things about Carmina!

Carmina was outstanding. I couldn't believe how amazing my makeup looked and it photographed beautifully. It was well worth it to have it professionally done and Carmina was the perfect choice!

CARMINA-CRISTINA is one of a kind! If you are looking for professional make-up application done by a true phenom in the field, this is your girl! Carmina is unique because she offers what salons simply can't; she uses top of the line, professional grade make-up and applications that are out of the realm of a typical salon in the greater Harrisburg area. For me, that meant an air-brush foundation application that felt like nothing but looked like a million bucks. I've seen the initial photos of our big day, and my make-up photographed and wore through the day/night like nothing I have experienced. My complexion is far from perfect and I don't see myself as beautiful, but Carmina worked with me to create a look I was comfortable with AND looked classic yet 2010. I loved the way I appeared on my wedding day, and that is coming from someone who can have a huge lack of confidence about her looks! C-C took everything into consideration from my gown to my tastes and wow-ed me at the intial trial then drove to meet me at a local B&B the day of the wedding... impressing everyone with her talent. My sister got her make-up done by Carmina as well, with a totally different look but showing her personality through their collaboration of lipstick and eye choices. I can't thank Carmina enough for giving me a boost of confidence on my wedding day, helping me to glow a bridal glow and feel good about myself- and looking good in photos too :)

I would recommend Carmina to any bride! She is extremely talented, professional, and punctual. I got countless compliments on my wedding makeup, and my photos are flawless! My makeup lasted the entire evening, and through the after party. She did a fabulous job, and my makeup was everything I hoped it would be and MORE! It was worth every penny to have my makeup done because my beautiful, flawless, photos are the only tangible thing I have left from my wedding. Despite all the money that goes into a wedding, you will not regret splurging a bit to be the most beautiful bride you can be!

Carmina was wonderful! She was so easy to work with! My makeup was so beautiful and lasted the entire time! I would recommend her to anyone!

I couldn't be happier! Carmina is AMAZING!! I found myself the week before my wedding without a makeup artist and Carmina totally saved the day! She is absolutely incredible at what she does! I felt beautiful on my day and received so many compliments! She did my sister's makeup as well and she looked absolutely stunning! Carmina is so sweet and really makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I definitely lucked out having her available on such short notice! She is well worth the money and I would definitely use her services again (but not wait so long to book her) :)

Carmina-Cristina did a wonderful job. SHe has perfected the art of makeup. SHe is easy to work with and respects your opinions. All my gues had only positive comments on her work. She helped to make my day perfect and she is worth every penny!
