Flawless Faces Makeup & Skincare Lounge (Carina)

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 :)

Gorgeous hair and makeup. Tina and Rachel from Flawless Faces Inc. are the bomb. They made me look and feel the way a bride should, GORGEOUS. The way the models look on their website is the way they can make you look. Not to mention these girls are sooo fun to be around. I've already used their services four times and have referred my girlfriends to them. check out their website and see for yourself. =) Good luck! Cheers!

I think Carina is a MUST when booking make up for your wedding. She is absolutely amazing and made all of my bridal party look and feel great on the big day. I have used her for other events in the last year and every time think it is worth every penny. I STRONGLY suggest you book with Carina! I orginally booked with another vendor and her services did not compare to those of Flawless Faces. My make up looked the same at 1am in the morning on my wedding day as it did at 10am when she applied! AMAZING!!!

Carina was AMAZING. She made ALL of us look so beautiful. My mom was ready to cry after she saw how beautiful she looked. She is incredible. She even came back to the place to touch me up as a thank you for sending her referrals (it also helped that I got married a block from her house). She was amazing. She did my make-up for my e-pics, and b-pics and everytime I just LOVED my make-up. My BM’s LOVED her too!

Carina arrived on time, ready to go, and did a stellar job of making my mom, my girlfriend, and me look like rock stars. My makeup held through the night completely and I had no issues with my false eyelashes coming off until I wanted them to which with other makeup artists this has been a problem (however my mom and friend both had a little problem with them poking/sliding which resulted in their eyes watering). I opted to go away from the traditional, natural looking bride approach and went with what we had pretty much used for my boudoir pictures (also done with her) and she was able to accommodate my request with ease.

The team at flawless faces is amazing. I had a great experience and they were very easy to work with. I had Tina do my make up for my wedding and she did such a fantastic job! We recently got the professional photos and the make up on everyone turned out absolutely gorgeous.

Carina is great at make up. She comes to where ever your event is. She's young, hip and knows what's up.

Carina was awesome! I had heard so many great things about her that I had to book her for my wedding. She arrived early and did myself and 5 others and everyone loved their make-up. I couldn't have been happier with my make-up and love how the pictures came out. I was a little hesitant about the fake eyelashes but they were amazing and looked so great in the pictures. My make-up stayed all night and I was thrilled that I didn't need someone to touch me up. I HIGHLY recommend Carina, she has lots of experience and it definitely shows!

One of the gift to my girls was having their make-up done at the wedding. Carina was so great. She's down to earth and outgoing. I never felt uncomfortable with her. She just seems like another friend. She's so sweet and I've never felt prettier or have seen my girls look more beautiful. I have never liked doing make-up because I felt more like a clown than cute! Carina, however, made me look amazing! I highly recommend her. She also did my make-up for our engagement pictures....I might have to see her again before my 10 year reunion!

Carina is simply amazing! She did my boudior makeup (twice, for both shoots) and my makeup for our engagement shoot. I can't tell you how fabulous she is, what an excellent job she did. She re-introduced me to false lashes after a horrible experience I had in a friends wedding, so you can say, she changed my life :) haha.

Carina is an expert with makeup application and such a nice and warm person.

I wish I could express just how thankful I am that I hired Carina to do my makeup. I was thinking of doing something crazy like putting makeup on myself, but Carina was, of course, so much better. She spent a lot of time on me during my trial, listening to suggestions, and asking clarifying questions to make sure that I got what I wanted. My makeup on the day of the wedding was even better! The funny thing? She used the exact same lipstick and gloss that I always have in my purse! She made my mom look amazing as well, and our makeup did not budge all day. Carina does what she is hired to do, and she does it well. Conversations with her are also a form of entertainment! :)

My girls and I looked amazing on my wedding day. I have never felt so beautiful in my life and I've never seen my bridesmaids look so good. My girls kept asking me where I found her because she's soo good! She did my mother's make-up. WOW! My mom was was stunning and glowing. Carina even travels and was early. She's a true pro. Book with Carina...you won't regret it!

I just booked her for my wedding! I'm super excited. She has been given so many recommendations on the OC boards.

I'll give my full review after my trial and wedding!

UPDATE:
I LOVE HER!! She is amazing!! She did my boudoir & bridal make up. I could not have been happier. She did an awesome job! All my Bridesmaids loved what she did with their make up! Highly recommended!!!

Carina is awesome! Look no further if you want to be confident about looking gorgeous. I was scared of the fake lashes at first (i know, what was i thinking), but she was right, and I couldnt be happier with how I looked that day.

Carina is the most talented makeup artist I know! When she's done with your makeup, you will feel absolutely sexy and beautiful. Carina did my Engagement and Wedding pictures and I couldn't have been happier.

One half of my engagement photo shoot took place in the ocean and after an hour of getting beat down by the waves, and rubbing my eyes, my makeup still looked flawless. I couldn't believe it! I was expecting my eyelashes to have fallen off, or for my eye liner to rub, but nope! It stayed put the entire shoot!

As for the wedding, I cried several streams of happy tears, and yet my makeup still looked beautiful. Once my tears dried up, no one could tell that I was crying. I can't stress how important that is since all eyes are on you. :)

Carina is amazing and extremely talented. I am so happy I met her and I would highly recommend her for anyone that wants to look their best!

Carina, I love you. I had a great experience with Flawless faces. My makeup and hair turned out beautifully and I didn't have to retouch it at all. I had such a good experience I used them again for another function after the wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carina to anyone seeking a makeup artist. She's super nice and will listen to any suggestions you have. I will use her again in the future, for any important events I may have.

I really dragged my feet when it came to scheduling my wedding makeup. I was so petrified that I would end up looking like a clown on my wedding day that one of my girlfriends just booked me with Flawless Faces. It was truly of the best decisions of the entire wedding planning! Carina scheduled me with Cara, who came out to the DoubleTree Hotel in Orange where my wedding was held. She was simply amazing with applying my makeup and I can't express how pleased I was when she was done. I really didn't know what kind of look I was looking for since I hardly ever wear makeup, but she asked me some key questions and came up with a look that was just fabulous yet very comfortable. She was also very fun to work with and added to the many pleasures of my wedding day. She gave me tips on how to keep up the look through the evening and was so patient with the million phone calls I had to field while she was trying to work. I cannot recommend Flawless Faces enough!

Awesome, awesome, and total awesomeness!!

Carina made me and my girls look like superstars!!
We felt so pretty and dolled up!
She's great to talk to any facial concerns you may have.
My sister loves makeup and knows a lot about it but she still learned a few tricks from Carina.
Carina will get there right on time and tells you who's up next and the order so there will not be any confusion.

I love her and highly recommend her.
